Asbestos Roof Solutions

Asbestos sheet roofing is commonly found on older properties, garages, outbuildings, and industrial units. Due to the hazardous nature of asbestos and the difficulty of repairing or replacing it safely, any work involving these materials must be handled with great care and in line with current health and safety regulations.

There are a few practical options available depending on the condition and type of structure:

• Over-cladding: For larger industrial units, installing a new roof covering over the existing asbestos sheets can be a more cost-effective solution. This must be approved by a structural engineer to ensure the building can support the additional load.

• Full removal and replacement: On smaller structures like garages and outbuildings, complete removal of asbestos sheets is often the safest and most straightforward approach. The roof can then be replaced with a modern metal system or converted into a flat roof using boarding and felt coverings.

All asbestos removals are carried out by licensed professionals and include written certification to confirm proper handling and disposal through authorised waste facilities.
