Asbestos Surveys in Headingley | BOHS-Qualified Surveyors | HSG Asbestos Surveys
If you need an asbestos survey in Headingley, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Headingley, Hyde Park, Woodhouse, Burley and the surrounding LS6 postcode area as part of our wider Leeds and West Yorkshire service. We carry out professional management surveys and refurbishment surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses, and we give you a clear, straightforward report you can actually understand.
Headingley is one of the most well-known inner-north Leeds suburbs, and its building stock is dominated by large Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached properties that were originally built for Leeds’ professional and commercial classes. Many of these properties are now in multiple occupation or have been converted to flats, and a significant number contain asbestos-containing materials including Artex coatings on ceilings and walls, vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards and pipe lagging. If your Headingley property was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos.
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 Headingley, 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 Headingley. 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 with HMO or student let properties, 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 Guiseley property, you will need a refurbishment survey before work starts. It is a legal requirement before any construction or demolition work begins.

Asbestos Testing and Sampling

Common Questions About Asbestos Surveys in Headingley
| Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Headingley? |
|---|
| Yes, if the property was built before 2000. Headingley has a high proportion of large Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached properties across LS6 where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found. |
| I am buying a house in Headingley. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
| If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable. Headingley’s housing stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian and asbestos-containing materials were routinely used in modifications and maintenance throughout the twentieth century. |
| Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement for landlords in Headingley? |
| Yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on landlords and duty holders responsible for pre-2000 premises. This applies to all landlords in Headingley including those with HMO and student let properties. |
| What if asbestos is found in my Headingley 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. |
