Need an asbestos survey in Todmorden? We are HSG Surveys Ltd — BOHS P402-qualified asbestos surveyors based in West Yorkshire.

Todmorden straddles the Yorkshire-Lancashire border at the head of the Calder Valley and has a building stock that reflects its history as a major cotton and wool textile town. The town grew throughout the Victorian era and retains a large stock of stone-built terraced housing, former mill and weaving shed premises along the Calder and its tributaries, and the characteristic dense valley-floor commercial fabric of a Pennine mill town. Post-war residential development across the OL14 area during the 1950s through to the 1980s added further properties built during the period of peak asbestos use. If your Todmorden property was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos.

Todmorden’s Building Stock and Asbestos Risk
The Calder Valley’s industrial heritage means that asbestos-containing materials are present across a wide cross-section of properties in and around Todmorden. Former mill buildings, stone terraced housing and post-war residential development across the OL14 area all carry a real likelihood of containing asbestos where they predate 2000.
| Property Type / Area | Common ACM Risk |
|---|---|
| Victorian terraced housing — Todmorden town centre, Walsden, Cornholme | Artex ceilings, floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging |
| Former mill buildings and weaving sheds — Calder Valley floor, Todmorden and Walsden | Pipe lagging, insulation boards, asbestos cement sheets |
| Stone terraces and hillside cottages — Stansfield, Langfield, Mankinholes | Artex, floor tiles, insulation board |

Which Survey Do You Need?
Asbestos Management Surveys Todmorden
A management survey is the standard survey for occupied buildings. It identifies asbestos-containing materials that are present and could be disturbed during normal use or routine maintenance, and produces a written asbestos register and management plan. For most non-domestic premises, this is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys Todmorden
Before any refurbishment, extension or demolition work begins on a building constructed before 2000, a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement. Given that the vast majority of properties across the OL14 area predate 2000, this survey applies to most renovation and building projects in Todmorden and the surrounding area.

Where there is uncertainty about whether a specific material contains asbestos, we can take samples and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory. This is particularly useful when buying or selling a property in Todmorden, or when a surveyor or estate agent has flagged a suspect material during conveyancing.
