- Certified & Responsible: We hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you can be confident that any asbestos materials we handle are disposed of legally and responsibly.
- Local, Experienced Team: Our highly qualified professionals are fully trained with years of hands-on experience in identifying, managing, and, when necessary, removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a wide range of properties, including many in the Walton-On-Thames area.
- Clear, Honest Pricing: We provide detailed quotes with no hidden fees. You'll understand exactly what's involved and the cost before any work begins.
- Comprehensive Support: From initial suspicion and testing right through to surveys, safe removal (if needed), and disposal, we manage the entire project for you.

Getting a clear picture of whether asbestos is present and what condition it’s in is the crucial first step. Our thorough services give you the information you need to manage risk effectively and comply with the law.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check if you're buying or selling a property. This identifies any potential hidden asbestos issues, helping you avoid unexpected costs and safety risks.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: A legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a comprehensive report and register to help you manage them safely, meeting your duties under CAR 2012.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you're planning any construction, renovation, or demolition work, a legally mandated, intrusive survey must be completed first. This ensures no asbestos is disturbed accidentally.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.
If you've found a material in your Walton-On-Thames property that you suspect might contain asbestos – perhaps an old ceiling, floor tiles, or a garage roof – the most important thing is do not disturb it. Disturbing asbestos can release dangerous fibres into the air. Our friendly team can quickly arrange to visit your property, safely take a small sample, and send it for accurate analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory. You'll then receive a definitive result and certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We commonly test materials such as:
- Textured coatings (often known as Artex) on ceilings and walls.
- Asbestos cement products like garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters.
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper.
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB).
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues.
Beyond Testing: Safe Asbestos Management & Removal
Should our testing confirm the presence of asbestos, we offer a complete range of services to manage it safely. Our trained team follows strict procedures to contain the area, safely remove or encapsulate the materials, and leave your property clean and secure.
- Safe Asbestos Removal: For materials requiring removal, our core service is the safe handling and disposal of non-licensed asbestos from all property types. We specialise in removing items like asbestos cement from garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks for homeowners. For businesses, we handle panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimal disruption.
- Asbestos Collection & Disposal: If you have asbestos that has already been safely removed or dismantled, we can provide a professional collection service. We ensure it's correctly wrapped and transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility, providing all the necessary legal paperwork for your records.
- Asbestos Encapsulation & Reinstatement: If asbestos is in good condition, removal isn't always essential. Encapsulation involves sealing or enclosing the material to prevent fibre release, which can be a highly cost-effective and safe management solution. After any removal work, we also offer a full reinstatement service, replacing roofs, ceilings, flooring, and walls to get your space back to normal swiftly.
