About our asbestos removal in Bentley Heath
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and people generally contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In London neighbourhoods like Bentley Heath, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
FAQs for Bentley Heath
Do you cover Bentley Heath and the area around Potters Bar station?
Yes. Potters Bar station is about 1 mile north of Bentley Heath, and we cover both.
Do you work in Bentley Heath despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Duty holders and landlords in Bentley Heath
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
