Asbestos Roof Replacement in Birmingham

A large number of the older industrial and commercial roofs across Birmingham were originally sheeted in asbestos cement, and where that material is degraded or being disturbed by other works, it needs to be dealt with properly rather than worked around.

What's included

Surveys to confirm the condition and extent of asbestos cement sheeting
Removal carried out in line with current asbestos regulations
Coordination with licensed asbestos contractors where required
Replacement with modern, non-fragile roof sheeting systems
Full weatherproofing of the new roof on completion

Asbestos cement sheeting in reasonable condition and left undisturbed doesn't automatically need removing, but once it's degraded, damaged, or has to be worked on or through, the regulatory position changes. We'll be straightforward about which category a roof falls into rather than assuming the answer before a survey.

Where removal is needed, work is planned and carried out in line with current asbestos regulations, with licensed asbestos removal contractors brought in for notifiable work. Once the old sheeting is off, we replace it with a modern, non-fragile roofing system so the new roof doesn't carry the same fall-through risk during future maintenance.

Overcladding

Overcladding an asbestos cement roof

If the existing asbestos cement sheets are stable and don’t need to be disturbed, taking them off isn’t always necessary. Overcladding encapsulates the old roof under a new profiled sheet system fixed to a new support structure. The building gains a weathertight, non-fragile roof while the original sheets stay safely in place.

This is one of Profile Cladding’s specialist services. A survey establishes whether the existing sheets and structure are suitable, and the work is planned and carried out in line with current asbestos regulations and HSE guidance.
