Frequently Asked Questions about Asbestos Surveys in Manchester


Is an asbestos survey a legal requirement in Manchester?


Yes, under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, owners and managers of non-domestic properties in Manchester have a “duty to manage” asbestos. If you are planning any refurbishment or demolition work on a building constructed before 2000, an R&D survey is a legal requirement before work begins to ensure the safety of contractors and the public.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Manchester?


The cost depends on the size and type of the property. For domestic sampling and testing, Armco offers a fast-track service starting from £150 + VAT for two samples. For full Management or R&D surveys, we provide bespoke quotes based on the property’s complexity.

How long does it take to get an asbestos report?


At Armco, we pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once the site survey is complete and samples are sent for analysis to a UKAS-accredited lab, you will typically receive your full asbestos report within 24–48 hours.

Do I need a survey if I am buying a house in Manchester?


While not a legal requirement for residential buyers, it is highly recommended if the property was built before 1999. Many Manchester building surveyors or mortgage lenders will request a survey if they suspect that materials such as Artex, floor tiles, or garage roofing contain asbestos. Identifying this early can save you thousands in future removal costs.

Which areas of Greater Manchester do you cover?


We provide comprehensive asbestos services across the entire region, including Manchester City Centre, Stockport, Salford, Trafford, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, and Bolton.
