Asbestos and buildings in Manchester City Centre
The commercial core mixes Victorian warehouses, 1960s and 1970s office blocks and transport and retail buildings from successive rebuilds. Many older warehouses around Piccadilly, Ancoats and the Northern Quarter have been converted to offices, studios and flats with plant and ceiling voids added at different times. Surveys here are usually about fit-outs, conversions and managing-agent registers, and access to occupied buildings is arranged around tenants.

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.
