Asbestos and buildings in Bolton and Bury

Bolton and Bury grew around cotton spinning and engineering. Mills still shape the skyline in both towns, many converted to flats, offices and storage, and the town centres have 1960s and 1970s shopping and civic buildings. Industrial estates around the M61 and M66 have sheds from the 1960s to the 1990s. Management surveys, pre-conversion surveys and roof surveys are all regular requests.

What to do next

If the building was built or refurbished before 2000, start with a survey, because it tells you what is there before anyone disturbs it. Use the form to send the postcode, the type of property and up to five photographs, and an independent partner surveyor will contact you. If the survey finds something that has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors.

Questions

Asbestos questions in Bolton and Bury

Can you survey a mill before conversion?

Yes. A refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to the conversion works is required before strip-out begins, and it should be done early.

Do I need an asbestos survey in Bolton and Bury?

If a building in Bolton and Bury was built or refurbished before 2000 and you are planning building work, or you manage it as a non-domestic building, yes: the area affected should be surveyed first. Homeowners have no general legal duty to survey, but surveying before work protects everyone involved.

Which type of survey is right?

A management survey for a building in normal use, and a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans on the form and the surveyor will advise.

What happens if the survey finds asbestos?
