Roof Replacement
If your existing asbestos roof is deteriorating, we offer a complete replacement service. We ensure the safe disposal of hazardous materials before installing a modern, high-performance roofing system that enhances insulation, durability, and weather resistance. As per HSE guidelines.
Overcladding
For a cost-effective and non-intrusive solution, we provide asbestos roof overcladding. This method involves installing a new roofing system over the existing asbestos roof, encapsulating hazardous materials while improving thermal efficiency and waterproofing. Overcladding is a practical option for clients looking to upgrade their roofing without the need for full asbestos removal.
Roof Repairs & Maintenance
We provide expert advice and maintenance plans to extend the life of asbestos roofs, addressing minor issues such as leaks, damaged sheets, and insulation concerns. Our solutions ensure ongoing compliance with UK asbestos regulations while keeping your building protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main reasons for replacing an asbestos roof?
Replacing an asbestos roof is essential for health and safety compliance, as asbestos fibres pose serious health risks. UK regulations require strict compliance for asbestos management and removal. Additionally, modern roofing materials provide better insulation, improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. If your existing asbestos roof is deteriorating, leading to leaks or structural damage, replacement ensures long-term protection. A new, compliant roof also enhances property value, making your building more attractive to tenants or buyers.
How do I know if my roof needs full replacement?
You should consider full replacement if the roof has severe deterioration, structural issues, or widespread damage. If the roof is leaking significantly and repairs or overcladding won’t provide a long-term solution, replacement is the best option. Additionally, if asbestos removal is legally required for compliance with health and safety regulations, a full replacement is necessary.
What are the benefits of asbestos roof overcladding, and when is it suitable?
Overcladding is a cost-effective solution that allows a new roof to be installed over the existing asbestos roof, avoiding the expense and disruption of removal. It is ideal if the existing roof is still structurally sound and does not pose an immediate asbestos risk. Overcladding also improves insulation, enhances energy efficiency, and enables businesses to remain operational during installation.
Is it necessary to remove an asbestos roof, or can it be repaired?
Over time, asbestos roofing deteriorates due to weathering, leading to cracks and fibre release. Exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health issues, including lung diseases. Additionally, buildings with asbestos roofing may face compliance issues, affecting property value and insurance.
It’s best to talk to our team and we’ll assess your roof to help you understand the best course of action.Â
What are the risks of leaving an old or damaged asbestos roof in place?
While minor repairs might be possible, they often disturb the asbestos, increasing the risk of fibre release. The safest and most effective long-term solution is a full asbestos roof replacement, which eliminates health risks and ensures compliance with UK regulations.
What are the benefits of replacing an asbestos roof with modern materials?
A new roof offers improved safety, energy efficiency, and durability. Modern roofing materials, such as insulated metal cladding or composite panels, enhance thermal performance, reduce maintenance costs, and increase the property’s value while ensuring full regulatory compliance.
