Knaresborough is a historic market town in North Yorkshire, perched above the River Nidd. The town has a well-preserved stock of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside substantial post-war residential development, and properties across HG5 and the neighbouring HG1 and HG2 areas frequently contain asbestos-containing materials. If your Knaresborough property was built before 2000, there is a real chance it contains asbestos.

Asbestos Management Surveys Knaresborough

A management survey is the standard survey for occupied buildings. It identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are present and could be disturbed during normal use or routine maintenance, and produces a written asbestos register and management plan. For most non-domestic premises, this is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys Knaresborough

Before any refurbishment, extension or demolition work begins on a building constructed before 2000, a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement. This is a more intrusive survey designed to locate all ACMs in the areas to be disturbed, including those concealed within floors, walls, ceilings and roof spaces. Given the age of much of Knaresborough’s housing and commercial stock, this applies to a large proportion of properties in the HG5 area.

Asbestos Sampling and Testing Knaresborough

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 has flagged a suspect material.
