Asbestos removal for Milton Street
Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
How asbestos removal works in Milton Street
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. We often deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In a village like Milton Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Milton Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Milton Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Milton Street from London?
We cover Milton Street, about 49 miles from central London.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Milton Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job

How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In winter, the light goes in Milton Street by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear the way to the work area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
