Dundee's Leading Asbestos Specialists
Dundee's strong industrial heritage presents unique asbestos challenges. From the historic jute mills and factories to modern developments, our Dundee team brings specialized expertise to every asbestos project across the city.
We understand the complexities of managing asbestos in Dundee's diverse building stock, from the tenements of the West End to the waterfront developments and the industrial sites that defined the city's past.
Operating from our Dundee office, we provide comprehensive asbestos services throughout the city and surrounding areas. Our 24/7 emergency response team ensures rapid assistance for urgent asbestos situations.
Dundee's industrial heritage presents specific challenges when dealing with asbestos. Many of the city's buildings, particularly former jute mills and factories, underwent renovations during the mid-20th century when asbestos was widely used. Our team has extensive experience in identifying and safely managing asbestos in these properties while preserving their character.
We work closely with Dundee City Council's planning department and heritage organizations to ensure all asbestos work complies with local requirements. Our specialists are trained in handling asbestos in listed buildings and properties within conservation areas, where special care must be taken to preserve original features.
