Asbestos Roof Overclad Completed

The project began with an ageing asbestos roof showing clear signs of deterioration, weathering, moss growth, and overall reduced performance. The before images highlight the challenges many industrial buildings face as materials reach the end of their lifespan.

Our solution? A full 32/1000 profiled steel overclad system, installed directly over the existing asbestos roof. The transformation is immediate: a clean, durable, watertight, and modernised finish that significantly enhances the building’s appearance and performance.

Why Overcladding Was the Best Choice for This Client

Rather than opting for a complete asbestos roof removal, the client benefited from the many advantages of an overclad system, including:

  • Cost-effective approach – avoiding the high costs associated with asbestos strip and disposal.
  • Minimal disruption – allowing the business to continue operating throughout the project.
  • More sustainable – reducing waste sent to landfill.
  • Improved insulation – boosting thermal efficiency and reducing heat loss.
  • Compliance with HSE regulations – ensuring the asbestos remains safely encapsulated This method offers a long-term solution that enhances safety, performance, and energy efficiency without the downtime normally associated with full roof replacements.

A Safe and Efficient Roofing Upgrade

This project is a strong example of how industrial roofing upgrades can be completed safely and quickly, even when dealing with asbestos. With minimal disruption to daily operations, our team delivered a secure, modern roofing system that will perform for years to come.

If you’re responsible for an older building with asbestos roofing and are exploring your options, an overclad solution could be the ideal way to extend roof life, improve performance, and stay compliant — all while keeping costs down.
