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 Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
