A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
How asbestos removal works in Iden Green
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. From Artex before plastering and asbestos garages, we deal with textured coatings, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In Iden Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Iden Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Iden Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After we have finished in Iden Green
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Questions from Iden Green
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Iden Green from London?
Iden Green is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs

- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive

What we deal with in Iden Green
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Iden Green, near Church of St George or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
