Duty holders and landlords in Littlestead Green
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.
If you run a business from older premises in Littlestead Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Questions from Littlestead Green
Do you cover Littlestead Green from London?
We cover Littlestead Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Littlestead Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
