Asbestos in Dunfermline
Dunfermline is a historic former capital of Scotland in Fife, a linen- and mining-heritage city with stone tenements, Victorian terraces and large post-war estates. Its industrial buildings, mid-century schools and public buildings, and 1960s-70s housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement roofing and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline: FAQs
Do older Dunfermline tenements and homes contain asbestos?
Often — the city's linen and mining heritage and its pre-2000 housing mean lagging, AIB, artex and asbestos cement are common. A survey before refurbishment is the only reliable way to know what is present.
How much is an asbestos survey in Dunfermline?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, including sampling and a written register, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending across Fife.
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.
