Asbestos removal in Shenley
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and finds during refurbishment.
In Shenley, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Shenley questions
Do you cover small places like Shenley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Shenley and the area around Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes. Milton Keynes Central station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Shenley, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
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.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

After we have finished in Shenley
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Shenley is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Dig out previous surveys
How to get a quote
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Asbestos removal in Shenley: local notes
Shenley is about 1 mile north of Westcroft, in Milton Keynes. Properties in Shenley range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Shenley is one of 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes where we work. Our area stretches from Shenley to Oxford (about 26 miles away).
In older buildings across Shenley, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. In a school like Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (VA), any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Removal jobs anywhere in MK5, MK8 and MK4 start with the postcode and some photos. That could mean a property on Vache Lane, Oakhill Road and Wisewood Road.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Duty holders and landlords in Shenley
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
