About asbestos testing in HP6
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that’s what we arrange in HP6. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and soffit boards, and people typically contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair.
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then go off to the lab.
- Send us photos of the material
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- We visit and take the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- We explain what the result means for your plans

HP6: testing for homes and workplaces
In HP6, a quick test before a small job is common, in towns and villages alike.
Amersham: Schools such as Home Tuition Service should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. If the property is on or near the A355 and A404, tell us about parking, as stopping on main roads can be restricted.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in HP6 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we price asbestos testing
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of survey you need
- The size and age of the building
- How much sampling is needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
Choosing the right option
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling.

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
HP6: your questions answered
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
