Asbestos help in Bush Hill Park
How asbestos survey works in Bush Hill Park
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Bush Hill Park, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues.
In a London neighbourhood like Bush Hill Park, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move things out of the way carefully

- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Bush Hill Park: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Bush Hill Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bush Hill Park may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Bush Hill Park 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you work in Bush Hill Park?
Yes, we do: our area includes Bush Hill Park and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Bush Hill Park?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bush Hill Park must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- How much sampling is needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
