What else we do in Littleton Common
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What happens next

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away

- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
FAQs for Littleton Common
How far is Littleton Common from London?
We cover Littleton Common, about 16 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Littleton Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
