Asbestos survey for Walton
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
About our asbestos survey in Walton
Before you buy, build or let in Walton, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about demolition projects and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving boiler cupboard panels, flues and water tanks.
In Walton, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Places near Walton
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed

Questions from Walton
How far is Walton from London?
We cover Walton, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you cover Walton and the area around Bow Brickhill station?
Yes. Bow Brickhill station is about 0.9 miles south of Walton, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The number of materials to sample
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Material and condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Typical surveys in Walton
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Public and community buildings
Non-domestic buildings, Heronsgate School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
