Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos survey in Littleton Common
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Littleton Common. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and community buildings and halls, including boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Around a village like Littleton Common, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Options to consider in Littleton Common
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

What we deal with in Littleton Common
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you have an older property in Littleton Common, near Parish Church of St Matthew or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The number of samples
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
