Asbestos survey for Salford
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Asbestos survey in Salford
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. From buying a property built before 2000 and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with pipe lagging, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Salford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

What we deal with in Salford
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
Planning work on an older building in Salford, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- The report contents
- The number of samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding

Questions from Salford
Do you come out to small villages like Salford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Salford and the area around Kingham station?
Yes, we cover Salford and the area towards Kingham station, about 3.9 miles south-west.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
