Common reasons for removal jobs in Oakgrove
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Oakgrove, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Oakgrove, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What happens
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In winter, the light goes in Oakgrove by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and access
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Common questions in Oakgrove
Do you work near Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes, we cover Oakgrove and the area towards Milton Keynes Central station, about 2.4 miles west.
Do older homes in Oakgrove have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Options to consider in Oakgrove
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
