About our asbestos removal in Milton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From cement water tanks in lofts and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
In towns and villages like Milton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Milton:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In older properties in Milton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
