If you need an asbestos survey in Pocklington, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team covering Pocklington, Stamford Bridge, Barmby Moor and the surrounding YO42 area as part of our wider Yorkshire and North of England service.
Pocklington is a market town on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds with a varied building stock spanning Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods through to post-war development. The town centre contains a mix of older commercial and residential properties, with interwar and post-war suburban housing on the outer fringes. The surrounding YO42 area has a large agricultural character — farmhouses, Wolds villages and agricultural outbuildings where asbestos cement roofing is common. All pre-2000 properties carry a real risk of containing asbestos, and a survey is strongly advisable before any renovation, conversion or renovation work on properties or outbuildings in this area.
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 Pocklington, you need to know what you are dealing with, and that is where we come in.
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 commercial premises in Pocklington. 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, renovation or conversion at your Pocklington 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 a very large proportion of Pocklington housing and commercial building stock.

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.
