Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Walton-on-Thames, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
