We Manage a School Built in the 60s — Should We Be Worried About Asbestos?
Asbestos is still present in thousands of school buildings across the UK, especially those constructed between the 1950s and 1980s. Ceiling tiles, pipe lagging, insulation panels and floor coverings may all contain asbestos — and if damaged, they pose serious health risks.
If you’re a school administrator, estate manager or academy trust, the responsibility to manage asbestos lies squarely with you.
Under UK law, every educational premises must:
- Identify and assess any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- Maintain an asbestos management plan
- Ensure staff and contractors are aware of risks
At EnviroSolution, we work with schools and educational bodies to carry out thorough, discreet asbestos surveys that keep your pupils, staff and contractors safe. We’re experienced in working in sensitive environments and always aim to minimise disruption.
Our services include:
- Term-time or holiday-time surveys
- Clear asbestos registers and floorplans
- Advice on maintenance and removal
A proactive approach is essential. Ignoring asbestos risks could lead to exposure incidents, parent complaints, or liability claims.
Don’t let ageing infrastructure put your reputation at risk. Book an asbestos survey for your school today and take control of asbestos management the right way.
