About asbestos removal in MK10
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and Artex before plastering.
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written 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
What you will pay
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Why people call us in MK10
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
FAQs for MK10
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in MK10?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
