If you need an asbestos survey in Chorley, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Chorley, Adlington, Coppull, Euxton and the surrounding PR6–PR7 postcode area as part of our wider North of England service. We carry out professional management surveys and refurbishment surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses.
Chorley is a market town in central Lancashire that grew substantially during the Industrial Revolution as a centre for cotton weaving, coal mining and engineering. Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in the town centre and inner areas, post-war housing estates on the outer fringes, and older commercial and light-industrial premises throughout PR6 and PR7 all carry a real risk of containing asbestos. Chorley also borders the North West Green Belt and has a number of rural and semi-rural properties in the surrounding parishes — older farmhouses, cottages and agricultural outbuildings can contain asbestos cement sheeting and other materials. 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 Chorley, you need to know what you are dealing with, and that is where we come in.
We carry out professional asbestos surveys across Chorley, Adlington, Coppull and the PR6–PR7. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, student-let landlord or business owner, we will come out, assess the property properly, and give you a clear report. We are BOHS and P402-qualified and hold P405 in Managing Asbestos in Buildings.
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 landlords in Chorley. Identifies asbestos-containing materials, assesses their condition, and tells you what needs to be done.
Required before any building work, extension or renovation at your Chorley property if built before 2000. A legal requirement before any construction or demolition work begins.

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 property in Chorley. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
|---|
| If built before 2000, a management survey before exchange is strongly advisable. Chorley has a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar semi-detached properties and post-war housing where asbestos-containing materials are routinely found. |
| Do rural properties near Chorley need asbestos surveys? |
| Yes. Rural properties carry the same asbestos risk as urban ones, and in some respects a higher one. Asbestos cement was widely used on agricultural outbuildings and garages. If a property or outbuilding was built before 2000, a survey is advisable before any renovation or demolition work. |
| 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 without removal. |
