Asbestos in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the Granite City, built almost entirely from locally quarried silver granite, and transformed into the oil capital of Europe from the 1970s. Its granite tenements, harbour buildings and post-war schemes such as Mastrick used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Tenement flats and houses across the city commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Aberdeen properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Aberdeen: FAQs
Do Aberdeen's granite tenements contain asbestos?
The granite fabric predates asbestos, but Aberdeen's tenement flats were widely modernised from the mid-20th century, introducing artex, AIB and floor tiles. A survey before any work identifies these later additions, including in shared closes and service ducts.
Do you survey commercial premises around Aberdeen harbour?
We do. The harbour and oil-industry buildings around Aberdeen often 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 for commercial clients.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
