Asbestos in Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead is a Hertfordshire New Town, largely built from the late 1940s through the 1970s with system-built estates such as Bennetts End and Adeyfield and surrounding industrial areas. That New Town era used asbestos insulating board, cement cladding and lagging heavily, and homes and commercial units across the town commonly contain artex and asbestos cement roofing.

Asbestos Surveys in Hemel Hempstead: FAQs
Why is asbestos common in Hemel Hempstead's housing?
Hemel was largely built in the 1950s-70s, the peak era for asbestos insulating board, cement cladding and lagging. Many of its estates and industrial units still contain these materials, so a survey before refurbishment is strongly advised.
Can you survey industrial units in Hemel Hempstead?
Yes — we carry out management and refurbishment surveys across Hemel's industrial estates and offices, with cement roofs, cladding and lagging mapped into a duty-to-manage register that satisfies the HSE.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
