Asbestos Surveys in Ripon
Asbestos Surveys in Ripon | BOHS & P402-Qualified | HSG Surveys
If you need an asbestos survey in Ripon, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Ripon, Masham, Boroughbridge and the surrounding HG4 area as part of our wider Yorkshire and North of England service.
Ripon is a cathedral city and market town with one of the finest medieval cores in the North of England. Outside the cathedral precinct and historic market square, the building stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian – terraces, semi-detached properties and older commercial premises throughout the city centre and surrounding streets, with post-war residential development on the outer fringes and a large agricultural and rural hinterland to the north and west. All pre-2000 properties in this area carry a real risk of containing asbestos. Victorian and Edwardian properties in Ripon are among the most likely to contain Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles and insulation boards, while outbuildings throughout the rural HG4 area frequently contain corrugated asbestos cement.
The good news is that asbestos is not dangerous if left undisturbed and in good condition. But if you are buying, selling, renovating or managing a property in Ripon, you need to know what you are dealing with, and that is where we come in.

Which Survey Do You Need?
There are two main types of asbestos surveys, and we will always point you in the right direction.
Asbestos Management Surveys
The standard survey for most homeowners and landlords in Ripon. Identifies asbestos-containing materials, assesses their condition, and tells you what needs to be done. Particularly important for Scarborough’s large landlord and student-let sector.
Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys
Required before any building work, extension or renovation at your Selby property if built before 2000. A legal requirement before any construction or demolition begins.

Asbestos Testing and Sampling
Where there is uncertainty about whether a specific material contains asbestos, we can take samples and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory. This gives you a definitive answer rather than guesswork and is particularly useful when buying or selling a property or when a surveyor or estate agent has flagged a material as potentially containing asbestos.
