Typical jobs in Milford on Sea include:

For non-domestic buildings like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common questions in Milford on Sea
Do you cover Milford on Sea and the area around Lymington Town station?
Yes. Lymington Town station is about 3.4 miles north-east of Milford on Sea, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Milford on Sea must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
After we’ve finished in Milford on Sea

Once we are done:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
