Bardsey is a picturesque village in the northeastern Leeds district, set in open countryside between Leeds and Wetherby. The village and surrounding area contain a mix of older stone-built cottages, Victorian farmhouses and period residential properties alongside more recent rural housing developments — all of which may contain asbestos-containing materials if built or modified before 2000. Common materials include Artex textured coatings, vinyl floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and asbestos cement on outbuildings, garages and agricultural structures.
The good news is that asbestos is not dangerous if it is left undisturbed and in good condition. But if you are buying, selling, renovating or managing a property in Bardsey or the surrounding villages, you need to know what you are dealing with, and that is where we come in.
We carry out professional asbestos surveys across Bardsey and the surrounding area. Whether you are a homeowner who has just bought an older property, a landlord with legal obligations, or a business owner planning a refurbishment, we will come out, properly assess the building, and provide you with a clear report.
We are P402- and BOHS-qualified, and we also hold P405 in Managing Asbestos in Buildings. That means we do not just find asbestos and hand you a report. We can help you understand your legal obligations and put a proper management plan in place if you need one. We are rated 5 stars by homeowners, landlords and businesses across West Yorkshire.
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 Bardsey and the surrounding villages. 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 or renovation at your Bardsey 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 rural and village properties just as much as urban ones — particularly where older buildings or converted agricultural structures are involved.

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.
Whether you are buying a house in Bardsey and want peace of mind before you exchange, or have discovered suspect material during a DIY project, we can help. We will give you an honest, plain-English assessment without overcomplicating it.
If you rent out a property in Bardsey built before 2000, you have a legal duty to manage the risk of asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We work with landlords across the area, from single buy-to-let properties to larger portfolios. We hold the P405 qualification in managing asbestos in buildings, so we can carry out the survey and help you put a compliant management plan in place.

| Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Bardsey? |
|---|
| Yes, if the property was built before 2000. A refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement before any building work, extension or renovation. This applies to rural and village properties, older stone cottages and converted agricultural buildings just as much as urban properties. |
| I am buying a house in Bardsey. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
| If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable before you exchange. Older village properties, period cottages and farmhouses in the Bardsey area frequently contain asbestos-containing materials. Knowing what is there before you buy puts you in a much stronger position. |
| Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement for landlords in Bardsey? |
| Yes, if you are a landlord or duty holder responsible for a non-domestic premises, or a residential property with common areas, built before 2000. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on you to manage the risk. |
| What if asbestos is found in my Bardsey property? |
| Finding asbestos does not automatically mean it has to be removed. If the material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, it can often be safely managed in place. Our report will tell you exactly what was found, where it is, what condition it is in, and what to do next. |
