Asbestos removal for Shilton
Asbestos removal for Shilton properties
In homes, in Shilton as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From old waste on site and asbestos found during building work, we cover water tanks, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Shilton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
FAQs for Shilton
Do you cover Shilton from London?
Shilton is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Shilton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Shilton?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets

Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Other services in Shilton
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Textured coatings
Older buildings in Shilton, near Church of the Holy Rood or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
