Asbestos survey in Bushey Mead
About to refurbish in Bushey Mead? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical materials include flues, textured ceilings and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and community buildings and halls.
For London properties like those in Bushey Mead, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

FAQs for Bushey Mead
Do you work near Raynes Park station?
Yes. Raynes Park station is close to the centre of Bushey Mead, and we cover the whole area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bushey Mead?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
For businesses and landlords in Bushey Mead
If you run a business from older premises in Bushey Mead, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you manage or own a block in Bushey Mead, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Public and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Public buildings around Bushey Mead, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.
