Lilyvale: your questions answered
How far is Lilyvale from London?
Lilyvale is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Lilyvale has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Lilyvale garages: local notes
Lilyvale is about 5 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in Lilyvale, just send the postcode. Lilyvale is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our area stretches from Lilyvale to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Across Lilyvale, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. Around Hatch Park, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 6 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
Every job is quoted in writing. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Lilyvale by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
