Our asbestos removal in MK3
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about textured coatings and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.

Bletchley: In a school like Holne Chase Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. On busy roads like the A421 and A4146, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. We plan outdoor jobs in Bletchley to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Why people call us in MK3
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in MK3:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement

Questions from MK3
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
