Asbestos and buildings in St Helens

St Helens grew around coal, glass making and heavy industry, and its building stock reflects it: Victorian terraces, interwar and postwar estates and a range of industrial buildings that are now in mixed use. Former works and sheds with cement roofs and cladding are not unusual, and the town centre has 1960s and 1970s shops and offices. Surveys here are a mix of domestic sampling visits and commercial or industrial work.

Buildings commonly found in St Helens

  • Victorian terraces and postwar estates
  • Former works and industrial sheds
  • 1960s and 1970s town-centre buildings

What to do next

If the building was built or refurbished before 2000, start with a survey, because it tells you what is there before anyone disturbs it. Use the form to send the postcode, the type of property and up to five photographs, and an independent partner surveyor will contact you. If the survey finds something that has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors.

Questions

Asbestos questions in St Helens

Do former glassworks and factories need special surveys?
They need careful planning for roof access, plant and lagging, but the method is the same. Say what the building is used for now and whether works are planned.
Do I need an asbestos survey in St Helens?
If a building in St Helens was built or refurbished before 2000 and you are planning building work, or you manage it as a non-domestic building, yes: the area affected should be surveyed first. Homeowners have no general legal duty to survey, but surveying before work protects everyone involved.
Which type of survey is right?
A management survey for a building in normal use, and a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans on the form and the surveyor will advise.
What happens if the survey finds asbestos?
Often it can be left in place and monitored. If it has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors for a quote. You are free to use anyone you like.
