We are HSG Asbestos Surveys, a BOHS and P402-qualified team of asbestos surveyors covering Guiseley, Yeadon, Rawdon, Menston and the surrounding LS20 postcode area as part of our wider Leeds and West Yorkshire service. We carry out professional management surveys and refurbishment surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses, and we give you a clear, straightforward report you can actually understand.
Guiseley is a market town between Leeds and Bradford, and its building stock includes a mix of Victorian stone-built terraced housing, inter-war semi-detached properties, post-war residential estates and more recent suburban development. Properties across LS20 may contain asbestos-containing materials including Artex textured coatings, vinyl floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and asbestos cement roofing on garages and outbuildings. If your Guiseley 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 Guiseley, 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 Guiseley. 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 Guiseley property, you will need a refurbishment survey before work starts. It is a legal requirement before any construction or demolition work 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 Guiseley
| Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in Guiseley? |
|---|
| Yes, if the property was built before 2000. Guiseley has a mix of Victorian stone-built terraces, inter-war semis and post-war properties across LS20 where asbestos-containing materials are commonly present. |
| I am buying a house in Guiseley. Should I get an asbestos survey? |
| If the property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly advisable. Much of Guiseley’s housing stock dates from the Victorian period 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 Guiseley? |
| Yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 place a legal duty on landlords and duty holders responsible for pre-2000 premises to manage the risk of asbestos. |
| What if asbestos is found in my Guiseley property? |
| Finding asbestos does not automatically mean it has to be removed. If the material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, it can often be safely managed in place. |
