Asbestos Cladding
Safe, fully compliant survey, removal and disposal of asbestos cladding, or encapsulation where that's the better option.
Asbestos cladding needs handling with care and full compliance. We survey, remove and licence-dispose of asbestos safely, keeping disruption to your operations to a minimum.
Where removal isn't the right call, over-cladding can isolate and seal the affected areas instead.
Overcladding an asbestos roof is a cost-effective refurbishment process that minimises disruption on site and avoids the costly disposal of existing asbestos roof sheeting to licensed landfill.
What’s included
Benefits of asbestos overcladding
The new roofing scheme is insulated to current warm-roof regulations for improved thermal efficiency, and existing or new rooflights can be renewed to maximise natural daylight. The overclad system is installed with a 0.7mm outer roofsheet, step-safe rooflights and roof-line systems for safe future maintenance. We offer asbestos cladding services nationwide.
How it works
Rather than stripping and re-cladding, a new layer of insulation and roof sheeting is installed over the existing structure: a good option where budget or site disruption are concerns. Asbestos should only ever be handled by an approved, licensed installer: because asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye, a commercial roof must be properly tested before any work.

Asbestos cladding questions answered.
Can't see your question here? Our team is happy to talk it through.
Does my asbestos roof have to be removed?
Not necessarily. Where removal is not the right call, over-cladding can isolate and seal the affected areas instead, and avoids the costly disposal of existing asbestos sheeting to licensed landfill.
Does the roof need testing before any work starts?
Yes. Asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye, so a commercial roof must be properly tested before any work. Our service starts with an asbestos survey and identification, and we are happy to discuss testing and the safest approach.
How is asbestos cladding removed and disposed of?
Asbestos should only ever be handled by an approved, licensed installer. We provide licensed removal and safe disposal in full compliance with regulations, followed by replacement cladding systems where needed.
What do I gain from overcladding an asbestos roof?
The new roof is insulated to current warm-roof regulations for better thermal efficiency, and existing or new rooflights can be renewed to maximise natural daylight. It is installed with a 0.7mm outer roofsheet, step-safe rooflights and roof-line systems for safe future maintenance.
Can our operations continue during asbestos works?
We plan asbestos work to keep disruption to your operations to a minimum, and overcladding in particular is a good option where site disruption is a concern. Get in touch and we will talk through the safest approach for your site.
