Asbestos Fighters were contacted by a school in Bedfordshire as they were concerned about the soffits on their building.

After a thorough inspection of the soffits, we advised the school that they could in fact be encapsulated - covered up so that they were protected with Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB) - instead of being removed.

This work was completed without any disruption to the routine or safety of the pupils at the school.

Following the re-encapsulating soffits work, we will now carry out an annual inspection to ensure they continue to be protected against the elements, keeping the pupils and staff safe.
