Asbestos Management Surveys Bury

A management survey identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal use or maintenance, and produces a written asbestos register and management plan. For most non-domestic premises this is a legal requirement under CAR 2012.

Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys Bury

Before any refurbishment, extension or demolition work begins on a building constructed before 2000, a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement. This more intrusive survey locates all ACMs in areas to be disturbed, including those concealed within floors, walls, ceilings and roof spaces.

Asbestos Sampling and Testing Bury

Where there is uncertainty about whether a specific material contains asbestos, we can take samples and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory. Particularly useful when buying or selling a property or when a surveyor has flagged a suspect material.

Bury’s Building Stock and Asbestos Risk

Bury is a historic market town that grew substantially during the Industrial Revolution as a centre for cotton and wool manufacture. The building stock ranges from densely packed Victorian terraces in the town centre and inner suburbs to post-war housing estates in Radcliffe and on the outer fringes, and older commercial premises throughout the borough. Former textile mills in the area, many now converted, are among the highest-risk building types for asbestos. All pre-2000 properties carry a real risk of containing asbestos-containing materials including Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards and pipe lagging.
