Please note that the guarantees offered do not reflect the life expectancy of Asbestosafe® in fact the systems should far exceed the guarantee period by many years. This is because of the insulation value Asbestosafe® provides, is enough to make the existing Asbestos sheets inert to the various change of temperatures that a roof experiences in its lifetime, causing movement and fatigue as a felt roofing system on a traditional ply or timber decked roof experiences.
When the day does come that the roof needs attention, Asbestosafe® would not need replacing like many timber roofs, just simply overlaid with some new felt as Asbestosafe® does not rot, split or suffer from any other defects that traditional timber decking can suffer from after a time.
As well as the benefits listed above, the installation of Asbestosafe® compared to taking the existing Asbestos roof off completely and re-decking with either new cement fibre sheets or new joists, timber decking and a new felt roofing system, are as follows:
No need to empty the inside of the building as in most cases we cause absolutely no disruption to the interior at all and the new finished Asbestosafe® will look and be exactly the same as new joists, re-decking etc, but can save up to 40%. And remember, the roof is no longer fragile and cannot be easily vandalised, plus of course it is also maintainable. In short, yes there are other systems on the market, but none so robust, maintainable and comprehensively guaranteed.
Please note that although we use the descriptive “Encapsulation” we actually do not treat the underneath surface as it is generally not considered necessary. If left untouched the underneath does not present a health hazard unless of course it is drilled, sawn or broken while the doors or windows are shut, if there are any splits or cracks currently present on the corrugated sheets they can be sealed with any solvent based varnish or similar, also as a personal (your) choice, the underneath can be coated with a water based paint like "Sandtex" or a suspended ceiling could also be erected. These suggested works should be carried out by a separate contractor or the house holder as it is a service we do not provide.
