Common reasons for removal jobs in Milford

Milford: your questions answered
Do you work near Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes. Milford (Surrey) station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Milford, and we cover both.
Could my house in Milford contain asbestos?
If your home in Milford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Milford?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Milford?
Yes, we do: Milford is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In winter, the light goes in Milford by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help

- The access route
- A photo of the whole area
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Towns and villages near Milford
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
