Who We Work With in Stockport

Homeowners

Whether you are buying a property in Stockport and want peace of mind before exchange, or have discovered suspect materials during a DIY project, we will give you an honest assessment without overcomplicating it.

Landlords

If you let out a property in Stockport built before 2000, you have a legal duty under CAR 2012 to manage the risk of asbestos. We hold the P405 qualification in Managing Asbestos in Buildings, so we can carry out the survey and help you put a compliant management plan in place.

Asbestos Management Surveys Stockport

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 Stockport

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 Stockport

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.

Stockport’s Building Stock and Asbestos Risk

Stockport has a diverse building stock that reflects both its industrial history and its role as a prosperous residential suburb of Manchester. Victorian terraces in Portwood, Reddish, Brinnington, Edgeley and around the town centre were built for the hatting, silk and engineering workforce. Interwar and post-war semi-detached housing dominates Cheadle, Hazel Grove and Bramhall. The Heaton suburbs contain a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and interwar properties. The older commercial stock in the town centre and throughout the SK area adds further to the picture. All of these property types carry a real risk of containing asbestos if built before 2000.

Recent Surveys in Stockport

Management Survey and Reinspections: Westfield Minibuses, Stockport

HSG Surveys has carried out both an Asbestos Management Survey and periodic Reinspection Surveys at Westfield Minibuses, Stockport. Commercial transport and depot premises of this type fall within the duty to manage asbestos under CAR 2012, and periodic reinspections are required to confirm that the condition of any ACMs identified has not changed — an ongoing obligation rather than a one-off survey. We carried out the management survey and have subsequently carried out reinspection surveys to keep the asbestos register current.

Common Questions About Asbestos Surveys in Stockport

I am buying an interwar semi in Cheadle or Bramhall. Should I get an asbestos survey?

Yes, if the property was built before 2000. Interwar semi-detached properties are among the highest-risk nationally for asbestos — Artex coatings, floor tiles and insulation boards were applied extensively during mid-twentieth century renovations.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a Victorian property in Stockport?

Yes. Victorian terraces in Portwood, Reddish and Edgeley are very likely to contain asbestos-containing materials and a refurbishment survey is a legal requirement before any building work that could disturb them.

I am a Stockport landlord. Am I legally required to manage asbestos?

If you let out a non-domestic premises or a residential property with common areas built before 2000, you have a legal duty under CAR 2012. We hold the P405 qualification and can carry out the survey and help you put a compliant management plan in place.

What happens if asbestos is found in my Stockport property?

Finding asbestos does not automatically mean it needs to be removed. ACMs that are in good condition and not being disturbed can often be safely managed in place. Our report clearly explains what was found, its condition, and what action if any is recommended.
