Asbestos in Hereford
Hereford is a cathedral city on the Welsh border with a cider- and food-processing heritage, Georgian and Victorian housing, and post-war estates. Its industrial units, the cider works and mid-century housing used asbestos cement, lagging and AIB, while terraced and interwar homes commonly hold artex and asbestos cement garages and outbuildings.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Hereford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Hereford: FAQs
Do Hereford's food and cider works contain asbestos?
Frequently — industrial and processing buildings around Hereford often retain asbestos cement roofs, lagging and AIB. Any conversion or demolition requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out across the area.
What does an asbestos survey cost in Hereford?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, including sampling and a written register, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending.
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.
