Asbestos garage roof removal near Lydd-on-Sea
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Lydd-on-Sea tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and double garages.
Rural garages near Lydd-on-Sea are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Lydd-on-Sea: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Lydd-on-Sea homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lydd-on-Sea can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes, we do: Lydd-on-Sea is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
