Asbestos contamination of the land can be a pressing concern in Manchester
Manchester is one of the UK’s great cities, having made incalculable contributions to the national success story. The city was one of the epicentres for UK textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, while its cultural exports in more recent times have included the all-conquering Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs, and music acts like Oasis and the Smiths. In 2024, the Co-op Live indoor arena opened in the city.
If you’re wondering why we’re mentioning all these things, it is because we wish to emphasise that Manchester has been a city of relentless change, throughout its history. Over time, many buildings have been constructed, and then demolished, with sites being redeveloped many times over. In the process of this constant change, asbestos might have found its way into the ground at various locations.
Asbestos was a hugely widely used construction material in the UK during the 20th century, and asbestos management practices and legislation were not always as stringent as they are today. However, both brownfield and greenfield sites can potentially become contaminated with asbestos – it can occur at the latter, for instance, if waste disposal activities have previously taken place at the given location.
So, if you are a site manager or another key stakeholder for a particular building or site in or close to Manchester, it is crucial to remain vigilant about potential asbestos contamination risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before you contact our experts, you might be interested in our answers to the below queries that we frequently receive in relation to asbestos-contaminated land or soil in Manchester.
If you believe your land or soil may contain asbestos, what should you do first?
In the event that you suspect land, soil, or construction waste for which you are responsible might be contaminated with asbestos, you will first need to determine whether this is actually the case.
In this situation, we would typically recommend that you arrange to have a full asbestos contamination land survey undertaken. However, we would urge you to contact us for an in-depth conversation about your particular circumstances.
What methods are used to investigate suspected asbestos-contaminated land or soil?
There are two different types of site investigations that our asbestos consultants carry out on asbestos-contaminated land: WAC testing and asbestos in soil testing.
In the case of some sites, it may become clear that a deeper investigation is needed. We are skilled and experienced in these situations, including in relation to the digging of trenches, boreholes, or trial pits. We take samples and send them off to be analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Is it mandatory to have asbestos removed from contaminated land, soil, or waste?
In the majority of cases, the logical next step after the discovery of asbestos fibres in soil or land, will be to arrange for the now-outlawed mineral to be safely removed. However, the mere fact of asbestos being found does not automatically mean removal will be required.
A risk assessment is a key element when asbestos-contaminated land or soil is being managed. This process might enable you to establish that the safer course of action would be to leave the discovered asbestos in place. However, even if this is the case, the decision might still be made to implement a clean cover system, so that the asbestos is not disturbed in the future.
It is also possible, however, that the risk assessment will leave no doubt about the need to have some form of asbestos remediation work carried out.
Whatever the circumstances appear to be at your own site in or close to Manchester, we would recommend that you talk to our experts at Oracle Solutions before you make any firm decisions. Send us an email or give us a call today, so that you can receive a free and fast asbestos quote, as well as tailored advice and guidance.
