🏭 A busy manufacturing facility. Several buildings. A survey planned around production.

Knight Specialist Services completed a full asbestos management survey at a manufacturing plant in Ashton-under-Lyne, covering offices, workshops, production areas, store rooms and plant rooms.

We worked closely with the client to arrange inspections over two weekends, minimising disruption to their manufacturing operations.

🔎 Two days inspecting the site.
📝 Two further days preparing the detailed report.
🤝 A client very happy with our flexible approach.

Large sites need careful organisation. We worked methodically through each building, breaking the inspection into manageable areas before bringing the findings together to support the client’s ongoing asbestos management.

🏠 ONE QUESTION ABOUT GARAGE CLADDING… A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE.

A homeowner planning roof works on her 1960s bungalow contacted us with concerns about the garage cladding.

During our asbestos management survey, we identified further suspect materials that needed consideration before the work went ahead.

Our inspection included:
🔎 Loft insulation
🔎 Floor tiles
🔎 Soffits
🔎 Garage apex panels

It’s easy to focus on the one material that catches your eye. A thorough survey helps uncover other areas that could affect your plans—and gives you and your contractors useful information before work begins.

A good job she called us first! 👍

⛪ A fresh look at an old report—right up to the clock tower!

St James’ Church in Bolton contacted us for an asbestos reinspection. After considering their older report, we recommended a fresh management survey to give the church an updated picture of the building.

Our inspection included the high-level clock tower, where an old asbestos cement pipe was located. These less frequently visited spaces matter too—especially when repairs or maintenance are planned.

The new report gave the church clear information to support ongoing asbestos management and brief contractors before work begins.

Having surveyed many local churches and diocesan properties, we know how valuable practical advice and an understandable report can be.

📋 Have an older asbestos report for your church, workshop or commercial building? Mike can help you decide whether a reinspection or a fresh survey is appropriate.

📍 Covering Bolton, Bury, Salford, Farnworth, Horwich and Greater Manchester.

One Concerned Phone Call… A Clearer Picture for St Aidan’s Church ⛪🔍

Suspicious-looking ceiling tiles in the main nave prompted St Aidan’s Church in Salford to contact Knight Specialist Services Ltd.

What started as a concern about one material led to a full asbestos management survey, helping the church understand the wider building.

Thankfully, laboratory analysis confirmed that the ceiling tiles did not contain asbestos. During the survey, we also sampled other suspect materials, including cement-based products, floor tiles and adhesives, and a suspect asbestos cement flue.

It’s a useful reminder: the material that first catches your eye may only be part of the picture. A negative result for one sample doesn’t establish whether asbestos is present elsewhere.

The client was pleased with our thorough approach and the report issued, providing clear findings to support ongoing management of the premises.

❤️ Having completed many surveys for local churches and the diocese, we appreciate how important these buildings are to their communities.

📍 We provide asbestos management surveys and asbestos testing across Salford, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley, Manchester, Stockport and Greater Manchester.

Asbestos Management Survey – Moss Lane, Bramhall

We recently completed an asbestos management survey at a long-established bookshop on Moss Lane, Bramhall on behalf of the owner, who is retiring and preparing the property for sale.

It was a pleasure to visit such a traditional independent bookshop. In an age where so much shopping has moved online, it is always encouraging to see local businesses continuing to thrive and serving their local communities.

The survey was commissioned as part of the property sale process to provide up-to-date asbestos information for prospective purchasers and their advisors. Commercial property transactions increasingly require asbestos documentation as part of the due diligence process, helping buyers understand any ongoing asbestos management responsibilities associated with the building.

Whether a commercial property is being sold, let to a new tenant or simply occupied as part of day-to-day business operations, an asbestos management survey remains an important requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Those responsible for the maintenance and repair of non-domestic premises have a legal duty to identify and manage asbestos-containing materials where they are present. An up-to-date asbestos management survey helps duty holders maintain compliance, protect contractors and building occupants, and ensure asbestos information is available whenever maintenance or alteration works are required.

Knight Specialist Services Ltd regularly undertakes asbestos surveys throughout Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove, Woodford, Poynton, Heald Green, Wilmslow, Stockport, Handforth and the wider Greater Manchester and Cheshire areas.

Asbestos Demolition Survey – Town Lane, Denton

We recently completed a fully intrusive asbestos demolition survey to Units 1–7 on Town Lane, Denton on behalf of a long-standing client ahead of the proposed demolition and redevelopment of the site.

The survey involved intrusive access throughout all units to identify asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during demolition. Materials identified included asbestos cement roof sheeting, asbestos paper linings within roof voids, asbestos gutters, asbestos floor tiles and asbestos flash guards associated with electrical installations.

Following completion of the survey, the asbestos-containing materials were safely removed by specialist contractors, allowing the buildings to be demolished and the site prepared for future redevelopment.

This project highlights why all demolition schemes must be supported by a suitable Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Survey before works commence. Unlike an asbestos management survey, a demolition survey is fully intrusive and designed to identify asbestos-containing materials hidden within the structure, voids and building fabric.

Without a suitable demolition survey, concealed asbestos-containing materials can remain unidentified until demolition is underway, resulting in project delays, additional costs, enforcement action and potential exposure risks for contractors.

It is therefore essential that demolition contractors, developers and property owners ensure a suitable demolition survey is completed before any structural demolition works begin.

Knight Specialist Services Ltd regularly undertakes asbestos demolition surveys throughout Denton, Hyde, Audenshaw, Dukinfield, Ashton-under-Lyne, Droylsden, Stalybridge, Stockport, Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area.

Every Property Tells a Story… This Salford Pub Needed a Quick Response! 🍻🏚️

Our latest project took us to the Ye Old Nelson public house in Salford, where the client urgently needed an asbestos demolition survey. With planning and building control pressing for demolition to progress, time was a priority.

Knight Specialist Services Ltd responded promptly, completed the survey and arranged 24-hour laboratory testing of the samples—helping the client get the information needed to plan the next stage.

Older pubs can have layers of alterations, repairs and concealed materials built up over decades. That makes a thorough investigation especially important before demolition disturbs the building’s structure.

🔍 A demolition survey goes beyond checking the obvious suspect materials. It investigates the areas affected by demolition so any asbestos identified can be accounted for when planning removal and subsequent works.

We were pleased to help the client move forward with clear asbestos information during a time-sensitive project.

📍 Providing asbestos demolition surveys, refurbishment surveys, management surveys and asbestos testing across Salford, Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Stockport and Greater Manchester.

Asbestos Refurbishment Survey – Barton Villa, Dukinfield

We recently completed a targeted asbestos refurbishment survey to an annexe building at Barton Villa, Dukinfield following a substantial water leak which had damaged parts of the property and exposed sections of textured coating ceiling finishes.

Where emergency repairs or make-safe works are required, it is important that asbestos considerations are not overlooked. Before contractors begin intrusive repairs, a suitable asbestos refurbishment survey should be undertaken within the affected areas to identify any asbestos-containing materials that may be disturbed during the works.

In this case, the damaged areas required investigation before remedial works could proceed, ensuring the client and contractors understood whether any asbestos-containing materials were present within the proposed work areas.

However, safety always comes first. Before entering any property affected by structural damage, fire, flooding or other significant defects, we always require confirmation from a suitably qualified and experienced structural engineer that the building is safe to access. Only once this confirmation has been received will intrusive survey works be considered.

Unfortunately, we occasionally see emergency repair works commence before asbestos has been considered, which can create significant complications if asbestos-containing materials are subsequently discovered. A refurbishment survey helps prevent unexpected delays, additional costs and potential exposure risks.

Knight Specialist Services Ltd regularly undertakes asbestos refurbishment surveys throughout Dukinfield, Hyde, Gee Cross, Ashton-under-Lyne, Denton, Audenshaw, Stalybridge, Glossop, Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area.

Asbestos Management Survey – Buxton Road, Leek

We recently completed an asbestos management survey at a property on Buxton Road, Leek on behalf of a client requiring up-to-date asbestos information for the building.

Whilst the majority of our work is undertaken throughout Stockport, Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, we are always happy to travel further afield for clients and were pleased to assist with this project in Staffordshire.

During the survey, a significant number of textured coating applications were identified throughout the property. Textured coatings were widely used within residential and commercial buildings and can often contain chrysotile asbestos, particularly within older properties.

Where textured coatings are identified and refurbishment works are planned, the removal strategy will depend upon the substrate and condition of the material. Where textured coatings are applied directly to plasterboard ceilings and walls, it is often more practical and cost-effective for the plasterboard to be removed in its entirety by a suitably competent asbestos contractor.

Following removal works, it is good practice to undertake a thorough visual inspection and, where appropriate, reassurance or clearance air testing by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst to provide confidence that the works have been completed satisfactorily before reoccupation or further refurbishment proceeds.

Knight Specialist Services Ltd provides asbestos surveys, asbestos testing and consultancy services throughout Leek, Buxton, Ashbourne, Macclesfield, Congleton, Stoke-on-Trent, Cheadle, Stockport, Manchester and the wider North West.
