Asbestos Cement Roofing & Cladding
In the UK, asbestos cement was commonly used in the production of roofing & cladding materials from the 1920s right up until the UK Government banned the import of asbestos in 1999. Due to the hazardous nature of asbestos products and health issues, it can cause.
Mixing asbestos fibres with fibre cement offered robust, fire-resistant products that were relatively inexpensive. Making them a favoured choice for roofing & cladding materials.
Moving on to the current day, many of these dated products are still in commission and past their life expectancy. Common signs of aged materials are water ingress, holes and harder to see hairline cracks fissure.
In our experience, once these problems start to occur, the roofing materials gradually deteriorate into a state of disrepair & become a hazard to anyone in contact with them.
Our experienced tradesmen are trained and certified to work with asbestos cement products. We can carry out isolated repairs (if feasible) or we can offer over-cladding and roof replacement as refurbishment options.
