Asbestos and buildings in Salford
Salford covers a wide range: Victorian terraces around Langworthy and Ordsall, post-war council estates and tower blocks at Pendleton, the redeveloped docklands of Salford Quays, and older industrial premises along Regent Road and the Irwell. Housing from the 1930s to the 1970s is within the period of asbestos use, with textured ceilings, cement garage roofs and insulation board among the likely finds. Landlords with terraced portfolios, housing providers with communal areas, and small industrial units are typical customers. Regeneration around the Quays and Chapel Street means steady refurbishment work that needs a survey first.

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.
