Asbestos removal in Lydd
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old flues.
Properties in places like Lydd with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Lydd
Do you cover Lydd from London?
We cover Lydd, about 58 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Lydd have asbestos?
Any home in Lydd built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lydd?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
For businesses and landlords in Lydd
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How easy it is to reach
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Nearby places to Lydd
Lydd properties and asbestos removal
Lydd is about 11 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Properties in Lydd range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Lydd is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our area stretches from Lydd to Canterbury (about 24 miles away).
For properties on main roads such as the B2075, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted. At a school such as Lydd Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
We carry out removal jobs all over TN29 and the streets around it. Local streets include Church Road, Station Road and High Street; we cover every one. With the B2075 close by, Lydd is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include Lydd-on-Sea (2 miles east), Greatstone-on-Sea (3 miles north-east), Old Romney (3 miles north), New Romney (3 miles north-east) and Littlestone-on-Sea (3 miles north-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles north), Folkestone (15 miles north-east), Hythe (11 miles north-east), Tenterden (12 miles north-west), Cheriton (14 miles north-east) and Kennington (15 miles north).

- Pubs nearby include The Dolphin Hotel (under half a mile south-west)
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
