For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Common reasons for removal jobs in High Halden
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement flues and gutters
In older buildings across High Halden, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

High Halden: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover High Halden and the area around Pluckley station?
Yes, we cover High Halden and the area towards Pluckley station, about 3.9 miles north.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in High Halden?
Yes, High Halden is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
The scope of asbestos removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Covering London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
