Harehills is one of the most densely populated inner-east Leeds suburbs and has an exceptionally high proportion of pre-2000 housing. The area is dominated by back-to-back and through terraced housing from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, with significant numbers of post-war residential properties in adjacent streets and roads. These are among the property types most likely to contain asbestos-containing materials, including Artex ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and asbestos cement on outbuildings. Harehills is also an area with a high density of privately rented properties, and landlords have a legal duty to manage the risk of asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

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 Harehills, 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 Harehills. 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 or renovation at your Harehills 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 virtually every property in Harehills given the age and character of the housing 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.

Common Questions About Asbestos Surveys in Harehills

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Harehills?
Yes, if the property was built before 2000. Harehills has an exceptionally high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian back-to-back and terraced housing where asbestos-containing materials are very commonly present across LS8 and LS9.
I am buying a house in Harehills. Should I get an asbestos survey?
If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable. Virtually all of Harehills’ housing stock predates 2000. Knowing what is there before you buy puts you in a much stronger position.
Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement for landlords in Harehills?
Yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on landlords and duty holders responsible for pre-2000 premises. Harehills has a very high density of privately rented properties and this duty applies widely in the area.
What if asbestos is found in my Harehills 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.
