Removing asbestos around Milton
Milton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. We cover Milton as part of Portsmouth, for removal jobs of every size. Milton is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth we cover. Our area stretches from Milton to Southampton (17 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like Meon Junior School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Milton, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Milton is within about 2 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Asbestos removal near Milton

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
For businesses and landlords in Milton
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

Your questions about asbestos removal in Milton
Could my house in Milton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Milton from London?
Milton is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
