Commercial Asbestos Roof Removal & Repair
Our Core Commercial Asbestos Services
We offer two distinct solutions based on the condition and risk level identified in your Asbestos Survey: complete removal or secure repair.
1. Safe Asbestos Roof Removal (A Complete Solution)
When asbestos material is heavily degraded, damaged, or when planning for demolition or major refurbishment, full removal is the safest and most permanent solution. This process eliminates the hazardous material entirely, removing your long-term duty to manage it.
The CoreSafe Removal Process:
- HSE Compliance: All removal projects are carried out under the strictest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines by our licensed teams.
- Controlled Environment: We establish sealed working areas, often using scaffolding and enclosures, to prevent the escape of any asbestos fibres into the environment.
- Safe Disposal: All removed material is double-wrapped, sealed, and transported directly to a licensed hazardous waste facility. We provide you with the necessary legal documentation (Consignment Notes) to prove compliant disposal.
- Reassurance: We guarantee that the area is thoroughly decontaminated and certified safe following the removal process.
2. Asbestos Roof Repair & Encapsulation (A Protective Solution)
For materials that are structurally sound but exhibiting surface deterioration or minor damage, repair and encapsulation provide a cost-effective, protective, and legally compliant solution. Encapsulation is the process of coating the material to seal the asbestos fibres and prevent them from becoming airborne.
Benefits of Encapsulation:
- Fibre Sealing: A heavy-duty, reinforced liquid membrane is applied to the roof surface, effectively binding and sealing all exposed asbestos fibres.
- Extended Roof Life: The coating provides a new, durable, and seamless weatherproof layer, protecting the existing structure from water ingress and UV degradation.
- Cost-Effective: This method is significantly cheaper and faster than full removal, offering an excellent solution for management compliance.
- Minimal Disruption: The repair work is non-intrusive and can often be completed with minimal downtime to your commercial operations.

When is Removal Necessary?
The decision between removal and encapsulation depends entirely on the risk assessment score from your official Asbestos Survey. You should opt for removal if:
- The material is severely damaged (cracked, crumbling, or friable).
- The area is subject to frequent high-impact work or maintenance.
- You are planning a complete change of use, refurbishment, or demolition of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Roof Removal & Repair
Encapsulation is not permanent, but it is a highly effective, long-term solution. By applying a durable, reinforced liquid membrane, we **seal the asbestos fibres** and protect the roof from weathering, extending its lifespan by many years. It is a cost-effective alternative to full removal for materials in good condition.
The decision is based on the **Asbestos Survey Report** and the material's condition. If the asbestos is severely cracked, crumbling, or friable, full **removal** is mandatory. If the material is structurally sound but needs weatherproofing or minor damage repair, **encapsulation** is usually the recommended route.
Project length varies significantly depending on the roof size, accessibility, and the need for scaffolding/enclosures. A typical removal project can take anywhere from a **few days to a few weeks**. We work closely with your business to schedule the work and minimize operational downtime.
Following removal, you receive the **Consignment Notes**, which are the legal proof that the hazardous waste was transported and disposed of at a licensed facility. We also provide a **Certificate of Reoccupation** (if necessary) to confirm the area is clean and safe for continued use.
