Removal jobs in Lydden
Lydden is about 3 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Lydden has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Lydden to Canterbury (11 miles away).
In a school like Lydden Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Older buildings in Lydden, near Church of St Mary Church of St Mary Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 6 miles of Lydden; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. The coast is within about 5 miles of Lydden; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Options to consider in Lydden
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

FAQs for Lydden
Could my house in Lydden contain asbestos?
Any home in Lydden built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
