If you need an asbestos survey in Hornsea, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team covering Hornsea, Atwick, Mappleton, Aldbrough and the HU18 Holderness coast area as part of our wider Yorkshire and North of England service.
Hornsea is a small seaside town on the Holderness coast with a predominantly Victorian and Edwardian building stock built as a resort for the Hull working and middle classes. The seafront streets contain a mix of Victorian guest houses, residential terraces and holiday properties — all of which carry a real risk of containing asbestos if built before 2000. The surrounding HU18 area includes a number of Holderness villages and farmsteads where the same interior asbestos risk applies and agricultural outbuildings frequently contain corrugated asbestos cement. If your property was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos.
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 Hornsea, you need to know what you are dealing with, and that is where we come in.
There are two main types of asbestos surveys, and we will always point you in the right direction.
The standard survey for most homeowners and commercial premises in Hornsea. It identifies asbestos-containing materials in your property, assesses their condition, and tells you what, if anything, needs to be done. If you are a landlord, this also helps you meet your legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
If you are planning any building work, extension, renovation or conversion at your Hornsea property, you will need a refurbishment survey before work starts. It is a legal requirement before any construction or demolition work begins, and applies to a very large proportion of Hornsea housing and commercial building stock.
Not sure which you need? Just give us a call, and we will happily help
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.

| I am buying a holiday property in Hornsea. Do I need a survey? |
|---|
| Yes, if built before 2000. Older properties in Hornsea — including former guest houses, residential terraces and holiday cottages — frequently contain Artex coatings, floor tiles and insulation boards. A management survey before purchase gives you a clear picture. |
| What if asbestos is found? |
| Our report tells you what was found, its condition, and what action is needed. Many materials can be safely managed in place. |
