Asbestos removal in Sherington
Asbestos removal near Sherington
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Sherington: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks.
In Sherington, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Why people call us in Sherington
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old flues
In a school like Sherington Church of England School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Questions from Sherington
Do you cover Sherington from London?
We cover Sherington, about 50 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Sherington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in Sherington?
Yes, we do: Sherington is within the area we cover in Milton Keynes. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.

Some practical advice:
