How asbestos removal works in Gidea Park
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and textured coatings, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Gidea Park, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
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.
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.
