Asbestos Surveys Manchester
By Licensed Experts
Our Surveys
Fibre Safe conducts asbestos surveys for both residential and commercial properties across Manchester and surrounding areas. Our surveys typically involve collecting samples and performing analyses to determine the presence of asbestos and Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs).
Our Expertise
Our experience and commitment to protection against asbestos ensures that you comply with all relevant legislation, laws, and safety measures required for the management of asbestos. We provide full guidance on asbestos surveys, removal, monitoring, and training, and conduct inspections for both commercial and residential properties.
Our Knowledge
Asbestos became widely used in construction during the 1920s, reaching peak usage in the 1960s and 1970s. Unfortunately, the North West is one of the areas most affected by asbestos-related deaths due to the significant amounts of asbestos imported into the area, and used in surrounding cities. ACMs are still found in many properties throughout the region.
If you suspect your property in Manchester may have asbestos, Fibre Safe is here to assist you in managing this hazardous material. We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys, testing, management, and removal services for both residential and commercial properties across Manchester and the surrounding areas.
Although encountering asbestos isn’t common, if you do discover it, it’s crucial to engage a specialist who can properly identify, test, and, if necessary, safely remove it. Handling asbestos materials should always be left to professionals due to the serious health risks involved.
We serve Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Bury, Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Hyde, Altrincham and the wider surrounding areas.
Across Manchester city centre and surrounding areas, Fibre Safe provide a range of asbestos surveys, catering to commercial and residential property owners. We adhere to UKAS standards (United Kingdom Accreditation Service). All our team members, from asbestos surveyors to office staff and directors, possess the necessary UKATA or BOHS certifications.
Asbestos Surveys and Reports
Our surveys adhere to the standards and guidelines set by the HSE document HSG264 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It’s now mandatory to manage asbestos-containing materials in all commercial properties in the UK, with certain domestic properties, like communal areas in flats, also falling under this requirement.
Our reports are easy to understand and pinpoint all asbestos locations in a building, detailing crucial information like the type of asbestos, its location, extent, and condition. Each report consolidates our findings, laboratory test results of all examined materials, and an asbestos register for the property. After issuing the report, if needed, our asbestos surveyor can meet with you on-site or discuss over the phone the identified materials, their implications and to agree an asbestos removal plan if required.
Asbestos surveys have become standard for home buyers, leaseholders, or freeholders involved in property transactions. Both parties’ solicitors often request an asbestos inspection before finalising the deal. Whether you need an asbestos survey for a single property, a portfolio, or just testing a suspicious material, Fibre Safe is here to help, no matter the scale of the concern.

Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer in Manchester
Our surveys encompass all property types, irrespective of size or usage category: residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use. Our experienced team in Manchester can identify the type of survey necessary to address the specific needs of your property.
Domestic Asbestos Survey Manchester
A domestic asbestos survey is an essential step in the home-buying process. Conducting asbestos surveys before purchasing a property provides vital information about potential asbestos removal or management costs and ensures safety during future renovations by identifying any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs).
Without this survey, new homeowners may face unexpected and expensive remedial works, sometimes reaching tens of thousands of pounds. ACMs can also halt necessary building improvements, such as rewiring, roofing, and plumbing projects.
The disruption caused by a domestic asbestos survey is minimal. The detailed report will include all necessary details, such as how to handle any asbestos found, risk assessments, and floor plans highlighting affected areas, among other critical information.
Commercial Asbestos Surveys Manchester
If you own or maintain non-domestic premises built before 2000, it is legally required to have the property surveyed by a qualified asbestos specialist. Additionally, Refurbishment-Demolition asbestos surveys must be conducted on properties scheduled for refurbishment or demolition.
This type of survey aims to identify asbestos-containing materials within the property so they can be managed or removed safely according to regulations before any renovation work begins. The survey establishes the location, extent, and condition of asbestos, allowing for a thorough asbestos risk assessment. We provide guidance on managing any identified asbestos to ensure builders or demolition contractors can work safely.
We also conduct re-inspections of existing asbestos surveys as part of our asbestos management services.
To book an inspection, please contact us at 0161 638 9133 or email us at sales@fibresafe.com.
Asbestos Management Survey Manchester
Asbestos Management Surveys, officially known as ‘Type 2’ surveys, are legally required for non-domestic buildings constructed before 2000. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued numerous fines to companies that have failed to carry out this mandatory survey.
The primary purpose of this survey is to identify and locate any asbestos present in the building and assess the potential risk it might pose if disturbed during occupancy. The results of the survey are used to create a comprehensive report that includes an asbestos management plan.
Pre-Demolition & Refurbishment Surveys Manchester
A refurbishment survey is an essential step conducted prior to any demolition or refurbishment work to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the property. The primary objective of this survey is to pinpoint the exact location, type, and condition of ACMs so that they can be managed, controlled, or safely removed before any renovation activities commence. This ensures that contractors and workers involved in the refurbishment are not exposed to asbestos fibres, which can pose significant health risks. The survey involves a thorough and intrusive inspection of the building, often requiring access to areas that might not be regularly visible or accessible, to ensure no potential ACMs are overlooked.
Land Contamination Survey Manchester
A unique yet vital survey, especially for certain businesses. Asbestos isn’t restricted to building materials; it can also be present in the soil surrounding a structure. Our ‘Asbestos in Soil‘ initiative detects asbestos fibres in your property’s environment, subsequently crafting a management blueprint. Read our guide on contaminated land surveys here.
