Choose the service that matches the decision you need to make

Soils supportHarrogate property and project context that changes the asbestos brief
Harrogate combines Victorian and Edwardian housing, spa and hospitality buildings, town-centre commercial property, public estates, business parks and a wide rural service area. The correct service follows the building and decision rather than a generic location label.
Period homes and managed blocks
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, villas, converted properties, later estates, flats and communal areas can contain several generations of finishes, services and repairs.
Hotels, leisure and hospitality
Hotels, guest accommodation, restaurants, event venues and former spa buildings may require phased access around guests, staff, kitchens, plant and repeated refurbishment.
Commercial and public estates
Offices, shops, healthcare, education and civic buildings need usable asbestos information for maintenance, fit-out and estate-management decisions.
Market towns and rural property
Knaresborough, Ripon, Boroughbridge, Pateley Bridge and surrounding villages add agricultural buildings, workshops, estates and outbuildings to the local service mix.
