How asbestos removal works in Shepherd's Bush
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and asbestos found during building work.
In towns and villages like Shepherd's Bush, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What affects the price in Shepherd's Bush
Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Shepherd's Bush questions
Do you work in Shepherd's Bush despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Shepherds Bush station?
Yes. Shepherds Bush station is close to the centre of Shepherd's Bush, and we cover the whole area.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Shepherd's Bush
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
In older properties in Shepherd's Bush, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Options to consider in Shepherd's Bush
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
