Safe & Compliant Asbestos Encapsulation
If your asbestos cement roof is in good condition but requires management, encapsulation is a safe and HSE-compliant solution. We offer professional encapsulation services for asbestos roofs and cladding, preventing fibre release and extending the life of your roof without the need for costly removal.

What is Asbestos Encapsulation?
Asbestos encapsulation is a process where a specialist coating is applied directly over an asbestos-containing material (ACM). This application creates a durable, seamless, and protective barrier that seals the asbestos surface, preventing the release of dangerous fibres into the atmosphere. The process effectively manages the asbestos in-situ, protecting it from weathering and accidental damage.
Prevents Fibre Release
The primary benefit is creating a safe, sealed surface that stops harmful asbestos fibres from becoming airborne.
Minimal Disruption
Encapsulation is a carefully managed process that results in far less disruption to business operations than removal.
Highly Cost-Effective
A significantly more affordable alternative to the complex and expensive process of licensed asbestos removal and disposal.
Extends Roof Lifespan
The encapsulation coating protects the underlying asbestos cement from the elements, extending its serviceable life.

OUR PROCESS
Our Asbestos Encapsulation Process
We work in full compliance with HSE guidelines to ensure a safe and effective encapsulation process.
1.
Site Survey & Risk Assessment
To assess the condition of the ACM and conduct a full, site-specific risk assessment and method statement.
2.
Surface Decontamination
The ACM surface is carefully cleaned using HSE-approved, low-pressure methods to avoid any fibre release.
3.
Application of Sealing Primer
A penetrating sealing coat is applied to bind any loose surface fibres and prepare the substrate for the topcoat.
4.
Application of Encapsulation System
A durable, flexible topcoat is applied to the specified thickness, creating a seamless, weatherproof membrane.
5.
Quality Inspection & Handover
A final inspection is performed to ensure complete encapsulation, and all relevant documentation is provided for your records.
