Our Knowledge
With asbestos being widely used 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 asbestos may be present in your property, Fibre Safe is here to help manage the risk. We offer thorough asbestos surveys, testing, management, and removal services for residential and commercial properties throughout the North West and surrounding regions.
If discovered, it’s essential to consult a specialist if found. Experts can correctly identify, test, and, if required, remove it safely. Due to the significant health dangers, asbestos should only be handled by trained professionals.
We operate across the North West, covering Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Preston, Blackpool, Bolton, Blackburn, Stockport, Wigan, and the Wirral.
Across the North West, 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 comply with the standards outlined in the HSE document HSG264 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Managing asbestos-containing materials is now a legal requirement for all commercial properties in the UK, and certain domestic properties, such as communal areas in flats, also fall under these regulations.
Our reports are clear and easy to follow, identifying all asbestos locations within a building. They include key details such as the type, location, extent, and condition of the asbestos. Each report contains our findings, lab results for all tested materials, and an asbestos register for the property. After issuing the report, our asbestos surveyor is available to discuss the results, either on-site or over the phone, and outline next steps, including an asbestos removal plan if required.
Asbestos surveys have become routine for home buyers, leaseholders, or freeholders during property transactions. Solicitors for both parties often require an asbestos inspection before finalising a deal. Whether you need a survey for a single property, a portfolio, or simply want to test a suspicious material, Fibre Safe is here to assist, no matter the size of the project.

Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer the North West
Our surveys encompass all property types, irrespective of size or usage category: residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use. Our expert team serve the North West can identify the type of survey necessary to address the specific needs of your property.
Domestic Asbestos Surveys
A domestic asbestos survey is an essential step in the home-buying process. An asbestos survey 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.
A domestic asbestos survey causes minimal disruption. The detailed survey 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
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 identifies any 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.

Asbestos Management Survey
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
A refurbishment survey is conducted prior to any demolition or refurbishment work to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a property.
The survey will 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
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.
