Asbestos and buildings in Altrincham

Altrincham combines a historic market town centre with large Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis around Timperley, Bowdon and Hale, and post-war estates. Many of the villas have been converted into flats or offices, and conversions of the later twentieth century sometimes used insulation board in fire protection, partitions and boiler cupboards. The town centre includes retail buildings of several eras and basements under older shops. Typical customers are homeowners planning extensions and loft conversions, landlords of converted houses, and commercial owners and agents who need a register for offices or retail units.

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 Altrincham

Are the shared areas of converted villas covered by the duty to manage?
Often yes. The shared hall, stairs, plant and roof of a converted block are common parts, and whoever manages them has the duty.
Do I need an asbestos survey in Altrincham?
If a building in Altrincham 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?
Often it can be left in place and monitored. If it has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors for a quote. You are free to use anyone you like.
