Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Lower Bush

- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
At a school such as Cuxton Community Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Do you cover small places like Lower Bush?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Lower Bush from London?
Lower Bush is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
