Asbestos in Dundee
Dundee built its wealth on jute, journalism and jam, with the great jute mills lining the Tay and a redeveloped waterfront around the V&A museum. Its jute mills, tenements and post-war schemes such as Whitfield used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Tenement flats and interwar homes across the city commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Dundee 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 Dundee: FAQs
Are Dundee's jute mills likely to contain asbestos?
Yes — Dundee's surviving jute mills usually retain asbestos cement roofs, pipe lagging and AIB partitions from their working life. Converting or demolishing any mill requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out across the city.
Do Dundee tenements contain asbestos?
Often, yes. Dundee's tenement flats were widely modernised from the 1960s onwards, introducing artex, AIB and floor tiles, while shared closes can hold further materials. A survey before any refurbishment identifies what's present in both your flat and the common areas.
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.
