DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Lyminge
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about garage conversions and garages in a row or block, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Lyminge, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Lyminge: your questions answered
Could my house in Lyminge contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you cover Lyminge?
Yes. We cover Lyminge and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What affects the price in Lyminge
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
