Asbestos Removal in Salford
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Salford, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Greater Manchester.
Asbestos in Salford
Salford grew on the docks at the end of the Manchester Ship Canal, the gritty industrial backdrop painted by L. S. Lowry, now transformed by MediaCityUK. Its docks, terraces and the system-built blocks of estates like Pendleton used asbestos insulating board, sprayed coatings and asbestos cement. The terraces and post-war homes across the city commonly hold artex, lagging and asbestos cement roofing.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Salford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Salford: FAQs
Was asbestos used in Salford's post-war tower blocks?
Yes — estates like Pendleton used asbestos insulating board to service risers and entrances, and sprayed coatings on structural steel. If you live in or manage a Salford block, a management survey records what's present and confirms whether it can safely be left in place.
Do you survey commercial units around Salford Quays?
We do. Older warehouses and industrial units around Salford Quays frequently contain asbestos cement roofs and lagging, and all non-domestic premises need a management survey by law. We provide a detailed register and a practical management plan.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
