FAQs for Walton Court
How far is Walton Court from London?
Walton Court is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Walton Court homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Walton Court can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you if your job needs it.
