Lye Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Berkhamsted station?
Yes, we cover Lye Green and the area towards Berkhamsted station, about 3.1 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Lye Green
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lye Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
