Asbestos removal for Leaves Green
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Asbestos removal for Leaves Green properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and old cold water tanks.
In towns and villages like Leaves Green, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Leaves Green questions
Do you work in Leaves Green despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Leaves Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Leaves Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Leaves Green?
Yes, Leaves Green is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What it costs
What changes the cost:

- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
Landlords near Hayes (Kent) station often time removal for when a property is empty.
