With the UK’s asbestos ban only coming into force in 1999, this hazardous material is still found in many old buildings across the nation, including educational facilities like schools, colleges and nurseries. Good asbestos management (and removal) is the key to creating a safe setting for staff and pupils.

At Goodbye Asbestos, our specialist solutions include school asbestos removal in London, Surrey and the Home Counties. We cover school asbestos surveys, sampling, testing and the entire asbestos abatement process.
Asbestos in schools
Asbestos management in schools is a hot topic in the UK, often featured in the news and media, highlighting the ongoing risks of leaving asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in crumbling buildings. It can be found anywhere from ceilings, insulation and roofs to floors, walls and cement sheets.
Proper asbestos management in schools should include regular inspections to monitor ACMs and plans for their safe removal if required. Asbestos surveys can also inform school asbestos removal projects, and we schedule the work at a time to minimise the impact on those attending the facility while managing the risks.
School asbestos sampling and testing
At Goodbye Asbestos, we offer trusted asbestos sampling and testing services. This is the most reliable and safest method of confirming whether you have ACMs at your school site.
If you don’t already have an asbestos register, this should be completed as a matter of urgency. Further surveys should be completed before any building work or renovations take place.
All samples will be sent to a UKAS-approved lab for detailed analysis.
