Asbestos Roof Overcladding solutions

Industrial & Commercial asbestos Overcladding

All industrial and commercial asbestos roofs reach a point in their lifecycle where deterioration sets in — resulting in leaks, energy inefficiencies, and safety concerns. As asbestos roof repairs cannot be undertaken, overcladding and encapsulation provide practical, non-disruptive solutions for ageing or asbestos-containing roofs, without the need for full roof removal.

At Roofing Supplies, our systems are designed to improve thermal efficiency, extend roof life, and ensure compliance with modern building standards. Our techniques allow businesses to continue operating while we upgrade the roofing system safely and efficiently.

With decades of experience, approved systems, and a commitment to sustainable refurbishment, Roofing Supplies delivers cost-effective, long-lasting overcladding and encapsulation solutions tailored to your building's needs.

What is Industrial Asbestos Roof Overcladding

Asbestos Roof Over cladding is a proven, highly effective method for refurbishing and extending the life of industrial and commercial asbestos roofs. It involves the installation of a new outer layer, commonly metal, directly over the existing asbestos roofing structure. This innovative approach, often referred to as "over cladding", "over-roofing" or "oversheeting," essentially applies a durable and weather-resistant "second skin" to your building.

What makes asbestos overcladding especially valuable is its ability to address both cost and functional challenges without the need for a full roof replacement. In addition to safeguarding your building from leaks and structural deterioration, overcladding significantly upgrades its external appearance, giving even the most dated properties a clean, modern finish.

More on Asbestos Roof Over Cladding

Asbestos Roof Over Cladding and Encapsulation are specialised refurbishment techniques used to manage and protect buildings with asbestos-containing roofing materials. These solutions provide a safe, cost-effective alternative to full asbestos roof removal, minimising disruption, avoiding hazardous waste handling, and significantly improving the performance and appearance of your roof.

Asbestos Roof Over Cladding and Encapsulation allows the original asbestos roof to remain intact and undisturbed beneath, fully sealed and protected from weather exposure.

This method not only encapsulates the asbestos safely but also enhances the building's energy efficiency, aesthetics, and weather resistance—without the high costs and risks associated with full asbestos removal.

Key Benefits of Industrial Roof Over Cladding and Roof Encapsulation:

• Extended Roof Lifespan – With up to 40 years manufacturers warranty, over cladding or asbestos roof encapsulation can greatly lengthen your roof.
• Cost-Effective Solution – Over cladding is a more affordable and cost effective solution to full roof replacement.
• Enhanced Thermal Efficiency – Over cladding significantly improves energy efficiency helping to maintain consistent temperatures, reducing heat loss and energy costs.
• Asbestos Encapsulation – Encapsulating Asbestos reduces health risks whilst avoiding expensive removal costs.
• Minimal Disruption to Operations – Over cladding and encapsulation are carried out without removing the existing roof, allowing your business to remain open throughout the project.
• Guarantee – All Over cladding and Encapsulations projects come with an in-house guarantee and the option of a third party backed guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When is Industrial Roof Overcladding the right Solution?

Industrial roof overcladding is an ideal solution when your existing roof shows signs of wear but remains structurally sound. This method allows you to enhance your building's performance without the need for a complete roof replacement.

If your business operates in a facility that cannot afford extended downtime, overcladding offers a significant advantage. The process is minimally disruptive, allowing operations to continue while the work is being carried out.

Overcladding is also a cost-effective alternative when the existing roof is still structurally sound but requires improvements in areas like insulation or weather resistance.

Additionally, overcladding is an excellent option when dealing with roofs containing hazardous materials like asbestos. Instead of removing and disposing of the asbestos, which can be costly and dangerous, overcladding encapsulates the material, reducing health risks and complying with safety regulations.
