Portfolio-wide Asbestos Compliance Programme Across 52 Schools

A growing multi-academy trust required a consistent asbestos management strategy across 52 schools after inheriting surveys of varying quality from multiple local authorities.

A fragmented estate meant asbestos records were inconsistent, duplicated and difficult to manage. Estates teams lacked confidence that compliance information was accurate across the portfolio.

Elements Surveying Group reviewed all existing asbestos data, completed targeted re-inspections where necessary, standardised every asbestos register and delivered portfolio-wide management plans. All information was integrated into the client's CAFM platform.

  • 52 schools managed under one compliance framework
  • 8,500+ asbestos items verified
  • Risk-based remediation programme created
  • Reduced estates management workload
  • Fully compliant asbestos management plans delivered

Client voices

“Elements turned a stalled refurbishment around in two weeks. The R&D survey was meticulous and the report's floor plans were the clearest we've used. Their consultant explained the findings to clinical staff in language they understood — that mattered as much as the technical work.”
Head of Estates · Healthcare clientR&D survey · 2025 · Client identifiers withheld for confidentiality
“We brief a lot of consultants across our trust. Elements stood out because they pushed back on what we'd asked for and recommended a more proportionate scope. The result was a defensible management plan we could actually operate, not a survey nobody reads.”
Director of Estates · Education clientManagement survey · 2024 · Client identifiers withheld for confidentiality
“Across thirty-two assets they delivered every report within the SLA, with a portfolio dashboard that integrated cleanly into our property-management system. Their consultancy-first stance means we get useful advice, not upsells.”
