Asbestos removal in Little London
Why people call us in Little London
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older properties in Little London, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

How asbestos removal works in Little London

In areas like Little London, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Little London
How far is Little London from London?
Little London is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Little London must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
