Our asbestos testing in HP11
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in HP11 use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. People often contact us about boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and lab results for contractors before they start, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
If we see anything else suspicious, we will tell you, in case you want them tested as well.
- Let us know which materials you are worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- A surveyor visits and samples each material, sealing the sample points
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- The written results come back to you, and we explain them

How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of materials to sample
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph

- A close-up from a safe distance

Choosing the right option
Air testing is different from sample testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Common reasons for tests in HP11
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
HP11: your questions answered
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I know if a material in HP11 contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
