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 Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
