Asbestos removal for Bushey Mead properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Bushey Mead, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include old waste on site and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In places like Bushey Mead, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Bushey Mead
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After we’ve finished in Bushey Mead
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Bushey Mead: your questions answered
Could my house in Bushey Mead contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bushey Mead can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Bushey Mead with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How we work
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In winter, the light goes in Bushey Mead by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
