Duty holders and landlords in Lydd-on-Sea
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Asbestos removal for Lydd-on-Sea properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old cold water tanks, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits.
In places like Lydd-on-Sea, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. 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.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Lydd-on-Sea, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?

What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
