Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Walton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you manage or own a block in Walton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Your questions about Artex removal in Walton
Do you work near Bow Brickhill station?
Yes. Bow Brickhill station is about 0.9 miles south of Walton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Walton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
