Asbestos and buildings in Bury
Bury is a market town with Victorian mills along the Irwell and Roch, red-brick terraces in Walmersley and Moorside, 1930s semis and post-war estates. The town centre has 1960s and 1970s retail around the shopping precinct and market area, and industrial units sit along the valley and towards Radcliffe. Mills in Bury have often been repaired in stages, with cement roof sheets and boiler plant lagging among the likely materials. Surveys are typically requested ahead of house extensions and loft conversions, for landlords of terraces, and for light industrial units changing hands.

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.
