Asbestos removal for Littleton properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with cement roof sheets, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes and more.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Littleton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Littleton, near Church of St Francis or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

For businesses and landlords in Littleton
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Littleton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Littleton
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.
Do you cover small places like Littleton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
