Asbestos cement roof sheets or “AC Sheets”, is a roofing / cladding material, in which asbestos fibres have been used to reinforce thin rigid cement sheets. Asbestos Cement was widely used as a building material until it was outlawed in the UK in 1999.

The product life of asbestos roofing sheets can vary but generally will last between 25 – 40 years. This means that products that were installed before asbestos was outlawed as a building product are coming towards the end of their usable life.

If your roof is leaking or roofing materials have been damaged, you will need to contact a specialist. That is where we come in.

Asbestos Roofing is not a problem if it is undamaged and likely to be undisturbed. In this situation you should monitor it as per your asbestos management plan.

Asbestos over sheeting allows you improve thermal elements, whilst introducing a new roof covering.

Over sheeting allows you to:

  • Improve external appearance
  • Improved thermal performance
  • Less disturbance than full strip and re-sheet
  • Less costs than stripping the roof, may be more cost effective

The following factors will need to be considered:

    • Structural ability of the existing roof to accept additional weight
    • The disturbance to occupants whilst the works is being undertaken
    • Access and storage requirements needed for the works i.e. skips and material storage
    • The contractors proposed method for drilling and phasing of the works
