Asbestos Roof Over Cladding For Commercial & Industrial buildings
NWIR are commercial asbestos roof overcladding specialists that offer a tailored service for dealing with asbestos
What is asbestos roof overcladding?
If you own an older commercial or industrial property, there’s a possibility that asbestos was used in its construction.
Overcladding installs a new roof system directly over your existing asbestos cement roof. The old roof is sealed in place, not removed. A new insulated, profiled metal skin goes on top, fixed through a spacer system that lifts it clear of the original sheets.
You get a roof that performs like new. The asbestos stays undisturbed underneath.
The Benefits of Asbestos Overcladding
Asbestos overcladding is an excellent solution for managing asbestos in your commercial roof with lots of benefits to it. We’ve listed some of our favourite benefits below:
- Cost-effective: Asbestos overcladding is a cost-effective roof refurbishment solution that minimises site disruption. This method significantly reduces the expenses associated with disposing of existing asbestos roof sheeting, as it eliminates the need for costly disposal and transportation to licensed landfills.
- Regulatory compliance: Overcladding helps ensure the property meets current asbestos management regulations, reducing potential legal liabilities. The overcladding process ensures that the new roofing system is insulated according to current warm roof regulations, enhancing thermal efficiency for our clients.
- Enhanced safety: Asbestos roof overcladding effectively contains existing asbestos materials, preventing the release of harmful fibres and lowering health risks.
- Economical solution: Overcladding is generally more cost-effective than complete asbestos removal, reducing both labour and material expenses.
- Minimal disruption: This process is less invasive, allowing businesses to continue their operations with minimal disturbance compared to more extensive asbestos removal methods.
- Improved weather resistance: Adding a new cladding layer enhances protection against weather conditions, prolonging the roof and building’s lifespan.
