Tameside & Ashton-under-Lyne’s Building Stock and Asbestos Risk

Tameside grew as a centre for cotton manufacture, hatting and engineering and its building stock reflects that industrial character in full. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Ashton, Stalybridge, Mossley and Hyde were built for the textile and factory workforce. Post-war housing estates in Droylsden, Denton and Audenshaw, and a large stock of older commercial and light-industrial premises throughout OL5–OL7, SK14–SK16 and M34 all carry a real risk of containing asbestos. Common materials include Artex coatings, thermoplastic floor tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging and corrugated asbestos cement.
