About our asbestos testing in Tyler's Hill
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we will explain your options. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, flue pipes and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are floor tiles and black adhesive and panels behind old heaters.
In a village like Tyler's Hill, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Typical tests in Tyler's Hill
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- One-off checks in rented property
- Porch canopies
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
If you let flats near Amersham station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- The scope, in writing
- How many samples are included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Weighing up your options
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Take a look at how we price jobs or the cost guide.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The type of survey you need
- Parking and access charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How many different materials need sampling
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
- A photo of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Pipe lagging
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
Looking after things afterwards
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Going forward:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.

For businesses and landlords in Tyler's Hill
If your business premises in Tyler's Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Tyler's Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Amersham station?
Yes, we cover Tyler's Hill and the area towards Amersham station, about 2.5 miles south-west.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
