Asbestos removal for Littleworth
How asbestos removal works in Littleworth
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In a village like Littleworth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Littleworth
Do older homes in Littleworth have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Littleworth may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Littleworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Littleworth, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- The access route
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Why people call us in Littleworth
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These come up again and again:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Littleworth, near The Granary Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
