Why people call us in Lynsted
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Sheet garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Block garages
Older houses in Lynsted, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Lynsted questions
Do you cover Lynsted from London?
We cover Lynsted, about 40 miles from central London.
Could my house in Lynsted contain asbestos?
If your home in Lynsted was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
