Asbestos Management for Schools

Asbestos has once again become a hot topic for schools. The Education Funding Authority (EFA) has recently asked schools to complete their ‘Asbestos data collection’ survey.

As such, current estimates suggest 75% of the UK’s school estate contains Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs). Worryingly, the expenditure on removal of ACMs by Central Government has slowed with no mass-removal programmes currently afoot. Managing Asbestos Most of us appreciate the risk of Asbestos to health, but many are still unsure on […]

M+C Receives High Praise For Freshly Completed Church Refurbishment

Munday + Cramer have handed back possession of St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in East Ham to The Diocese of Brentwood following an extensive internal refurbishment.
