Asbestos removal in Littlebourne
Found asbestos during building work in Littlebourne? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and materials found mid-project, we cover water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Littlebourne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Littlebourne questions
Could my house in Littlebourne contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Littlebourne may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Littlebourne and the area around Bekesbourne station?
Yes. Bekesbourne station is about 1.5 miles south-west of Littlebourne, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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 does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
