Asbestos and buildings in Wigan

Wigan's history of cotton, coal and engineering left a stock of mills, warehouses and industrial buildings, many now in mixed use. The canal-side mills at Wigan Pier are the best-known group, and the industrial estates around Pemberton, Standish and Leigh have older sheds with cement roofs. Surveys range from small commercial units to large industrial sites.

Buildings commonly found in Wigan

  • Canal-side and former cotton mills
  • Industrial sheds on older estates
  • Town-centre offices and retail

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 Wigan

Do old industrial sheds in Wigan always have cement roofs?
Not always, but many built before 2000 do. A survey with sampling is the only way to know, and it should be done before any roof work.
Do I need an asbestos survey in Wigan?
If a building in Wigan 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.
