Asbestos Surveys in Selby
Asbestos Surveys in Selby | BOHS & P402-Qualified | HSG Surveys
If you need an asbestos survey in Selby, you have come to the right place. We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Selby, Tadcaster, Sherburn in Elmet, Goole fringe and the surrounding YO8 area as part of our wider Yorkshire and North of England service.
Selby is a market town and former coal-mining community in the Vale of York. Its building stock reflects that industrial heritage – Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre and inner areas built for the colliery and manufacturing workforce, post-war housing estates on the outer fringes, and a significant stock of former colliery-associated premises and older commercial buildings throughout YO8. The surrounding district includes a mix of agricultural land, villages and smaller towns – Tadcaster, Sherburn in Elmet, Barlby and Brayton all have their own stocks of older residential and commercial property. If your property was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos.
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 Selby, 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 Selby. Identifies asbestos-containing materials, assesses their condition, and tells you what needs to be done. Particularly important for Scarborough’s large landlord and student-let sector.
Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys
Required before any building work, extension or renovation at your Selby property if built before 2000. A legal requirement before any construction or demolition begins.

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 Selby
| Do post-war houses in Selby contain asbestos? |
|---|
| Yes. Post-war housing estates in Selby and the surrounding district are among the highest-risk property types nationally for asbestos. Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles and insulation boards were used extensively in housing built from the 1950s through to the 1980s. |
| We are buying in Tadcaster. Should we get an asbestos survey? |
| If built before 2000, a management survey before exchange is strongly advisable. Tadcaster has a mix of older market town properties and post-war housing where asbestos-containing materials are routinely found. |
| What if asbestos is found? |
| Our report tells you what was found, its condition, and what action is needed. Many materials can be safely managed in place. |
