How asbestos testing works in HP10
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. People often contact us about soffit boards and checks before maintenance in rented homes, including flue pipes, floor tiles and panels behind heaters.
The sample point is sealed, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- You get a quote for the samples
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them

Your options compared
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing.

Where asbestos turns up
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so you can’t go by looks or age alone.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Answers trades need before starting
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Corrugated roof sheets
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in HP10 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in HP10
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Make the area easy to reach
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Common questions in HP10
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We will tell you if your job needs it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you test Artex in HP10?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
