We are well experienced with Asbestos
Our operatives undergo annual UKATA asbestos and face fit respirator training to ensure that they always remain up to date on current health and safety legislation.
The first step in the process when working with suspected asbestos is to take a sample and have it analysed to determine what type it may be. Once we have this information we can then plan accordingly.
Asbestos enquiries begin with a site survey, cleaning, inspecting and checking specific areas of concern. Moss and vegetation is common place and water ingress from gutters, worn fixing bolts and cracked sheets are a regular occurrence.
Upon areas of asbestos roofing suffering more escalated cracks or wider damage, Filon DR sheets (great for corrosive environments) can be fitted over the top as a new roofing layer.
Asbestos gutters can be treated with superior products such as Giromax HPG, and Giromax Delglaze can be applied to roof lights to prevent further degradation.
In more extreme cases where the asbestos roof is failing, a new metal profile roofing layer can be fitted over the top, to overclad and fully encapsulate the asbestos roofing. Alternatively the asbestos roofing can be safely removed and disposed of in the correct manner, then replaced with a new single skin, built up or composite cladding system as required by the client.
