Asbestos removal near Willen
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
About our asbestos removal in Willen
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and old waste on site.
In Willen, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Willen questions
Could my house in Willen contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Willen may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Yes. Milton Keynes Central station is about 3.1 miles south-west of Willen, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
