Thornton is a village in the hills to the west of Bradford, perhaps best known as the birthplace of Charlotte, Emily, Anne and Branwell Brontë. Its building stock includes a high proportion of stone-built Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, older cottages and farmhouses, and more recent post-war residential development. Properties across BD13 are typical of the property types where asbestos-containing materials are most commonly found — Artex textured coatings on ceilings and walls, vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and corrugated asbestos cement roofing on garages and outbuildings. If your Thornton 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 Thornton, 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 Thornton. 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 Thornton 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 large proportion of properties in Thornton given the age and character of the local housing stock.

Asbestos Testing and Sampling
If you are planning any building work, extension or renovation at your Baildon 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 large proportion of properties in Baildon given the age of much of the local housing stock.

Common Questions About Asbestos Surveys in Thornton
| Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Thornton? |
|---|
| Yes, if the property was built before 2000. Thornton has a high proportion of stone-built Victorian and Edwardian properties and post-war housing across BD13 where asbestos-containing materials are commonly present. |
| I am buying a house in Thornton. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
| If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable. Much of Thornton’s housing stock dates from the Victorian and Edwardian periods through to the 1980s. Knowing what is there before you buy puts you in a much stronger position. |
| Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement for landlords in Thornton? |
| Yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on landlords and duty holders responsible for pre-2000 premises. We can carry out the survey and help you put a compliant management plan in place. |
| What if asbestos is found in my Thornton property? |
| Finding asbestos does not automatically mean it has to be removed. If the material is in good condition and is 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. |
