Asbestos removal in Ivy Hatch: local notes
Ivy Hatch is about 4 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Ivy Hatch has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 22 miles away.
Landlords near Borough Green & Wrotham station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Ivy Hatch, near Ivy Hatch Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 6 miles of Ivy Hatch; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Ivy Hatch: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Ivy Hatch and the area around Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. Borough Green & Wrotham station is about 2.2 miles north-east of Ivy Hatch, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
