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.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Can I take a sample myself?

HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.

Duty holders and landlords in Walton Court

If you manage or own a block in Walton Court, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Can I do it myself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
