Asbestos and buildings in Wavertree and Smithdown
Wavertree and the streets off Smithdown Road have large numbers of Victorian terraces and bay-fronted houses, many of them shared houses or converted flats. They have been altered repeatedly: extensions, loft rooms, kitchen refits and fire-safety work. Surveys are commonly booked by landlords and managing agents before refurbishment or licensing work, and by owners planning loft conversions. Wavertree Technology Park also has commercial and industrial units from the 1980s onwards.

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.
