If you need an asbestos survey in Withernsea, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team covering Withernsea, Patrington, Roos, Easington and the surrounding HU19 area of the Holderness peninsula as part of our wider Yorkshire and North of England service.
Withernsea is a small seaside town on the southern Holderness coast. The building stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian resort and residential property, with a significant proportion of former holiday lets and older residential terraces. All pre-2000 properties in this area carry a real risk of containing asbestos. The wider HU19 area extends across a large agricultural hinterland of Holderness farmsteads and villages where the same risk applies and agricultural outbuildings frequently contain corrugated asbestos cement roofing.
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 Withernsea, 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 Withernsea. 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 Withernsea 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 Withernsea housing and commercial building stock.

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.

|---|
| Yes, if built before 2000. Victorian and Edwardian resort properties in Withernsea frequently contain Artex coatings, floor tiles and insulation boards. A management survey before exchange gives you a clear picture of what you are buying. Agricultural outbuildings can also be included in the same visit. |
