What we deal with in Milton Heights
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
At a school such as St Blaise CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What category of work it is
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Options to consider in Milton Heights
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Milton Heights
Do you cover Milton Heights and the area around Didcot Parkway station?

How far is Milton Heights from London?
Milton Heights is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
