Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Walton-on-Thames
Do you work near Walton-On-Thames station?
Yes. Walton-On-Thames station is about 0.8 miles south of Walton-on-Thames, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Walton-on-Thames homes?
If your home in Walton-on-Thames was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Walton-on-Thames
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
In a school like Walton Oak Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
