Armley is one of the inner western suburbs of Leeds with a dense stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, inter-war properties and post-war council estates. Properties across LS12 are among the property types most likely to contain asbestos-containing materials, including Artex textured coatings, vinyl floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and asbestos cement on outbuildings and garages. If your Armley 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 Armley, 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 Armley. 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 Armley property, you will need a refurbishment survey before work starts. It is a legal requirement before any construction or demolition work begins, and given the age and density of Armley’s housing stock, it applies to a large proportion of properties in the area.

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 Armley
| Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Armley? |
|---|
| Yes, if the property was built before 2000. A refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement before any building work, extension or renovation that could disturb existing materials. Armley has a dense stock of Victorian terraces, post-war council properties and inter-war housing across LS12 where asbestos-containing materials are very commonly present. |
| I am buying a house in Armley. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
| If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable before you exchange. Much of Armley’s housing stock dates from the Victorian period through to the 1980s and asbestos-containing materials were routinely used throughout that period. Knowing what is there before you buy puts you in a much stronger position. |
| Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement for landlords in Armley? |
| Yes, if you are a landlord or duty holder responsible for a non-domestic premises, or a residential property with common areas, built before 2000. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on you to manage the risk. We can carry out the survey and help you put a compliant management plan in place. |
| What if asbestos is found in my Armley 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. |
