Cottingham is a large village and suburb immediately north of Hull — one of the largest villages in England by population — and its building stock reflects that suburban character. The majority of Cottingham’s housing is Victorian, Edwardian and interwar in character, with older residential streets throughout the village centre and post-war development on the outer fringes. Cottingham has a significant student population associated with the University of Hull campus, and a large private rented sector in older Victorian and Edwardian properties. HMO landlords in properties built before 2000 have a legal duty to manage asbestos risk under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Common materials include Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards and pipe lagging.
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 Cottingham, 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 commercial premises in Cottingham. 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.
Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys
If you are planning any building work, extension, renovation or conversion at your Cottingham 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 Cottingham housing and commercial building stock.

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.
