Commercial asbestos roof overcladding & replacement

Commercial asbestos roof overcladding and replacement are common considerations for older industrial buildings. To avoid the risks associated with asbestos and comply with safety regulations, it’s essential to manage asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) safely.

At Roofclad Systems, we specialise in managing the disposal of asbestos found on industrial roofs. Strictly adhering to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, we ensure all asbestos-containing materials are handled and disposed of safely.

Alongside asbestos roof overcladding and full roof replacements, we can also replace guttering systems and rooflights at the same time.

When to consider asbestos roof replacement or overcladding

Older commercial and industrial buildings often contain asbestos in their roof and cladding. Over time, weathering or damage can disturb these materials, posing a health risk and increasing the need for professional management.

Addressing asbestos before planned works begin or before deterioration occurs can reduce risk, avoid disruption to operations and support long-term building performance.

Signs your building may require an asbestos roof overcladding or replacement

  • Ageing roof materials: your building’s roof has asbestos cladding that’s showing visible signs of wear, damage or deterioration
  • Compliance requirements: previously identified asbestos risks may require ongoing checks to meet health & safety or legal obligations
  • Structural concerns: signs of sagging or movement are visible within the existing roof structure

How can Roofclad Systems help?

At Roofclad Systems, we manage commercial asbestos roof replacement, overcladding and removal projects from initial survey coordination through to completion. We have years of experience in safe chrysotile asbestos removal, and our team is trained and accredited by ARCA (Asbestos Removal Contractors Association).

When replacing or overcladding an asbestos roof, we manage the process from start to finish, working closely with licensed asbestos surveyors on your behalf. We coordinate all stages to ensure work is completed safely and with minimal disruption to your operations.

In some cases, asbestos roof replacement works can qualify for UK Land Remediation Relief. This allows companies to claim 100% of corporation tax costs back, plus a possible 50% deduction on top for cleaning up contaminated land. Read the government’s guide to find out more.
