Offices, retail, hospitality, schools, colleges, healthcare buildings and managed property require clear asbestos information for contractors and maintenance teams.
Industrial & redevelopment sites
Former mills, warehouses, Trafford Park property, utilities, demolition projects and brownfield land may require connected survey, removal, analytical and soil workstreams.
From asbestos uncertainty to a controlled outcome
Providing the right information at enquiry stage helps ASM define the correct scope and avoid unnecessary surveys, duplicated work and unexpected project delays.
Send the site details
Provide the postcode, property type, reason for the enquiry and available photographs, plans or existing reports.
Agree the scope
ASM confirms the appropriate service, included areas, access requirements, assumptions and intended outcome.
Complete the work
The appropriate surveying, analytical, consulting or project team undertakes the agreed scope.
Use the evidence
The findings support asbestos management, refurbishment, demolition, removal, tendering or the next controlled stage.
What to send for an accurate written scope
Good information allows the team to identify the correct starting point and reduces assumptions when preparing the quotation.
- Full property or site address
- Building use and approximate size
- Reason for the asbestos enquiry
- Plans, work scope and useful photographs
- Existing surveys, registers or laboratory results
- Access, occupation and isolation restrictions
- Required attendance and reporting dates
Tell us what you manage, what material has been found or what building work is planned.
ASM can then identify whether the correct starting point is a management survey, refurbishment survey, demolition survey, targeted sampling, reinspection, asbestos management support, air monitoring or removal quotation.

Manchester asbestos services FAQs
Which asbestos service should I start with?
A Management Survey normally supports continued occupation and routine maintenance. A Refurbishment Survey is used before intrusive alterations and a Demolition Survey before demolition. Targeted sampling can be appropriate where only a specific suspect material needs identifying.

Can ASM support a project after asbestos is identified?
Yes. Depending on the project, ASM can provide asbestos management advice, removal planning, asbestos removal services, air monitoring, clearance support and other follow-on asbestos services.
Do you cover locations outside central Manchester?
Yes. ASM supports projects across Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, Tameside and surrounding areas.
