Asbestos survey for Walton-on-Thames
About our asbestos survey in Walton-on-Thames
Any building in Walton-on-Thames built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s planned refurbishment work and checks on rental property, we deal with garage roofs, flues and floor tiles and more.
In a town like Walton-on-Thames, surveys are often for homes before renovation, rented property and local businesses, where earlier alterations may contain asbestos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- The size and age of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- The type of survey you need
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
