Asbestos testing in Walton Hall
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Walton Hall provides. People often contact us about panels behind old heaters and porch canopies, involving soffit boards, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like Walton Hall, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Looking after things afterwards
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- File the result with your property paperwork
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Tell us what work you are planning
Don’ts
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
What affects the price in Walton Hall
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of materials to sample
- How big the building is
- Which survey type fits your plans

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Why people call us in Walton Hall
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
These come up again and again:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Tiles found under carpet
- Something broken during building work
- One-off checks in rented property
For an older property in Walton Hall, whether near Church of St Thomas or not, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
