Industry hubs

Asbestos consultancy, written for your industry.

Fully written hub pages for the UK sectors we know best. Each covers the legislation that applies, where asbestos is typically found in the building stock, the situations clients bring us — and the exact survey type we recommend for each one.

  1. Independent · DfE-aligned · UKAS 17025

    Schools

    Around 80% of state schools in England still contain asbestos — most of it built into system-build ceilings, boiler flues, textured coatings and Crown floor tiles from the 1945–1980 school-building programme. We help headteachers, business managers and MAT estates leads keep every pupil-day safe, every governor briefing evidenced, and every DfE return defensible.

  2. Independent · NHS EFM-aligned · HTM 03-01 experienced

    Hospitals

    NHS Estates data shows over 80% of the acute estate contains asbestos, much of it in ward soffits, service corridors and boiler-house lagging original to the 1960s–1970s hospital-building programme. We help EFM leads, capital project teams and infection-control colleagues keep clinical services running while backlog maintenance and net-zero works accelerate.

  3. Independent · CQC-aware · Resident-safe delivery

    Care Homes

    A large proportion of the UK care-home estate sits in converted Victorian, Edwardian and post-war domestic buildings — most extended and re-serviced in the 1960s–1990s when asbestos-containing materials were still routine. We help registered managers, group estates leads and single-site owners meet CAR 2012 duties without disturbing vulnerable residents.

  4. Independent · Fit-out & CAT-A/B experienced

    Offices

    Every UK office block built before 2000 is a candidate for ACMs — most commonly in ceiling voids, riser panels, fire-door cores and floor screeds. We advise landlords, tenants, managing agents and Cat-A/Cat-B fit-out teams on the tightest possible scope of survey and remediation, without ever quoting for the removal work ourselves.

  5. Independent · Regulator of Social Housing-aligned

    Housing Associations

    Registered providers manage some of the oldest and most heavily-refurbished housing stock in the country. Communal areas fall under CAR 2012 duty-to-manage; domestic interiors do not — but every void turnaround, cyclical repair and decarbonisation project intersects with ACMs. We support asset managers, compliance teams and repairs contractors with proportionate, evidence-based advice.
