Asbestos Removal for the Education Sector

Asbestos Removal in Schools, Colleges and Universities

We have vast experience of working within the education sector and know that it is paramount to work to tight deadlines between term-times, in order to ensure that asbestos removal work doesn't interfere with pupils study time.

Many schools that were built before the year 2000 will likely have asbestos within them. Some of the common areas where asbestos is found in the education sector are - 

• The thermal insulation that is found on boilers and pipes.
• Sprayed on asbestos, which is commonly used for fire protection and insulation.
• Asbestos-insulating board (AIB) which is used as insulation and also protection against fire.
• Floor and ceiling tiles.
• Asbestos cement sheets that can be used for roofing.

For a more comprehensive list on other areas where you may find asbestos within a school, college or university then see this list. 

BLS Asbestos know that most asbestos projects are conducted in complex surroundings, sometimes in segregated surroundings and sometimes outside of school hours during term-time. We have the skills and expertise to be able to shape the project around your exact needs.

Our experience of working in multiple different educational environments means that we are equipped to deal with a variety of different buildings and asbestos case scenarios, such as asbestos removal in school gyms, science labs or just a conventional classroom.

The HSE has a useful page for more information on dealing with asbestos within schools, however if you have any questions, then please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via the contact form on this page or by telephone 01484 400558.
