Asbestos and buildings in Didsbury
Didsbury and neighbouring Withington are largely Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis along the main roads and streets of terraces, with a high number of shared houses and converted flats. Extensions, loft conversions and refits are frequent, and many converted houses have shared hallways, boiler cupboards and later fire-protection work. Garage roofs and outbuildings from the 1950s to the 1970s are common. Typical customers are homeowners before building work, landlords of HMOs and managing agents of converted blocks, and commercial owners along Wilmslow Road and Burton Road.

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.
