Professional Asbestos Surveys for Schools
Schools must ensure the safety of students and staff by managing asbestos risks effectively. Summit Environmental provides expert asbestos surveys for schools across the UK. Our qualified surveyors follow the HSG264 (Asbestos: The Survey Guide) guidelines to identify and manage asbestos hazards in educational buildings.
Why Schools Need An Asbestos Survey
Many school buildings, especially those constructed before 2000, may contain asbestos. While undisturbed asbestos poses little risk, any damage or refurbishment work can release harmful fibres. Schools have a legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to assess and manage asbestos risks to protect everyone on-site.
Asbestos Survey Services For Schools
We offer a range of asbestos surveys to help schools comply with regulations and maintain a safe learning environment:
- Management surveys identify and assess asbestos-containing materials within school buildings to meet legal requirements.
- Re-inspection surveys monitor known asbestos materials to check for signs of deterioration and ensure management plans remain up to date.
- Refurbishment surveys are essential before any building work to ensure asbestos is safely managed during renovations.
- Demolition surveys are required before demolition projects to locate asbestos materials and allow for safe removal.
