How asbestos removal works in Littleton Common
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In a village like Littleton Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Littleton Common
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos garages
If you let property near Upper Halliford station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Littleton Common questions
How far is Littleton Common from London?
Littleton Common is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Littleton Common homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Littleton Common may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
