Management surveys, refurbishment surveys, and bulk sampling for homes and businesses across Leeds.
Before any asbestos removal or refurbishment work can begin, you need to know exactly what asbestos-containing materials are present in your property. An asbestos survey is a legal requirement for non-domestic premises and strongly recommended for any residential property built before 2000.
Yorkshire Asbestos Solutions provides professional asbestos surveys and testing across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Our qualified surveyors inspect your property, identify suspected ACMs, take bulk samples where necessary, and deliver a clear, actionable report.
There are two main types of asbestos survey relevant to most clients. A management survey is the standard survey for ongoing occupation, it identifies ACMs that could be disturbed during normal use and recommends how to manage them safely. This is required for all non-domestic premises under the duty to manage asbestos.
A refurbishment or demolition survey is more intrusive and is required before any structural work, renovation, or demolition. This survey accesses all areas including ceiling voids, floor voids, and behind fixed panels to ensure no asbestos is missed before work begins. Getting the right survey type is critical, using the wrong one can leave you exposed to legal and health risks.
When our surveyor identifies a suspected asbestos-containing material, a small bulk sample is taken and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Results typically return within 24 to 48 hours, allowing you to make informed decisions quickly.
We test samples from all common ACMs found in Leeds properties, artex, floor tiles, insulation board, cement products, pipe lagging, textured coatings, and more. If asbestos is confirmed, we advise on the appropriate next steps: management, encapsulation, or removal.
Homeowners planning renovations, extensions, or loft conversions should have a survey before work starts. Landlords and letting agents managing rental properties in Leeds need management surveys to comply with regulations. Commercial property owners, schools, and contractors starting refurbishment projects all require appropriate surveys before any disturbance of building fabric.
