Asbestos help in Walton Manor
Duty holders and landlords in Walton Manor
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
About our asbestos survey in Walton Manor
Planning building work in Walton Manor? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical materials include flues, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and community buildings and halls.
In a smaller place like Walton Manor, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Walton Manor questions
Do you cover Walton Manor and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 0.7 miles south of Walton Manor, and we cover both.
Could my house in Walton Manor contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Walton Manor may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
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.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Walton Manor?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What we deal with in Walton Manor
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Checks on rental property

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Options to consider in Walton Manor
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- Recommendations in plain English
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
