Asbestos Surveys in Nelson & Colne | BOHS & P402-Qualified Surveyors | HSG Asbestos Surveys
If you need an asbestos survey in Nelson, Colne, Barnoldswick or the surrounding Pendle area, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Nelson, Colne, Barnoldswick and the BB8–BB9 postcode area as part of our wider North of England service.
Nelson and Colne are former cotton-weaving towns in the Calder Valley corridor of east Lancashire. The building stock in both towns is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian stone-built terraced housing laid out along the hillside streets as the towns expanded to house the weaving workforce. Back-to-back and through-terrace housing in the town centre streets, former weaving sheds and industrial premises throughout BB8 and BB9, and post-war housing on the outer fringes all carry a real risk of containing asbestos. Barnoldswick, in the BB18 area, has a similar character. Common materials include Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards and pipe lagging. 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 Nelson or Colne, 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 Nelson. Identifies asbestos-containing materials, assesses their condition, and tells you what needs to be done.
Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys
Required before any building work, extension or renovation at your Nelson property if built before 2000. A legal requirement before any construction or demolition work 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.

Common Questions About Asbestos Surveys in Nelson and Colne
| Do stone-built weaving terraces in Nelson and Colne contain asbestos? |
|---|
| Yes. Stone construction does not exclude asbestos risk. Artex coatings, floor tiles and insulation boards were routinely applied to the interiors of older stone properties. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Nelson and Colne are among the most likely property types in east Lancashire to contain asbestos. |
| We are converting a weaving shed in Colne. What is required? |
| A refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement before any intrusive works. Former weaving sheds and industrial buildings in the Pendle area frequently contain asbestos in structural insulation, pipe lagging and ceiling tiles. |
| 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. |
