About our asbestos removal in Lympne
Asbestos removal in Lympne covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old cold water tanks, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Lympne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Why people call us in Lympne
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In a school like Lympne Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
Removing asbestos around Lympne
Lympne is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. We work across Lympne and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our area stretches from Lympne to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If you let property near Westenhanger station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Lympne, near Church of St Stephen 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 7 miles of Lympne. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields. Lympne is within about 3 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Questions from Lympne
Do you cover Lympne from London?
We cover Lympne, about 57 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Lympne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
