Asbestos in Inverness
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands, a fast-growing city of Victorian stone tenements, interwar housing and large modern estates such as Culloden and Smithton. Its older tenements, mid-century schools and public buildings, and 1960s-70s housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board and asbestos cement roofing and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Inverness 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 Inverness: FAQs
Do older Inverness tenements contain asbestos?
Pre-2000 tenements and houses across Inverness can contain artex, AIB, lagging and asbestos cement. As the materials are bound and hidden, a survey before any refurbishment is the only reliable way to know what is present.
How far around the Highlands do you cover?
We survey and test across Inverness and out to Nairn, Dingwall and the surrounding Highland towns. A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with pricing confirmed before we travel.
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.
