We repair asbestos cement roofs on commercial and industrial properties. Our work covers Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East. Services include leak repairs, panel replacement, cut-edge treatment, overcladding, encapsulation, and full strip-and-replace projects.
Many clients start with our asbestos roof repair service. They then use our wider roofing support. Our roofing surveys for industrial buildings help plan future capital works and maintenance budgets.
Every project starts with a structured condition assessment. We carry out a visual inspection from safe access equipment. We review previous repair history. We check drainage, fixings, flashings, and rooflights for damage or deterioration.
On larger or hard-to-access sites we support traditional inspections with drone surveys.
Not every asbestos roof needs full replacement. Sometimes targeted repairs or overcladding deliver better value. They cause less disruption. We assess water ingress, sheet condition, and structural performance. We review your long-term plans for the building. Then we recommend the best route.
| Option | When it suits your roof | Typical project scope |
|---|---|---|
| Local repairs | Isolated leaks, generally sound sheets, limited damage | Patch repairs, sealants, local sheet or flashing replacement |
| Encapsulation / coatings | Weathered surface, fibres need sealing, structure still sound | Cleaning, treatment, and coating to seal asbestos surface |
| Overcladding | Frequent leaks, ageing sheets, better insulation required | New metal system over existing roof, upgraded insulation |
| Full replacement | Severe damage, structural issues, or redevelopment plans | Controlled asbestos strip, new roof structure and coverings |
