Asbestos Encapsulation and Repair across Cumbria
Farm buildings with cement sheet roofs, shipyard and industrial sites on the west coast, and Lake District guest houses all need asbestos surveys before work starts.
Encapsulation means coating or enclosing an asbestos material to stop it releasing fibres. A specialist sealant soaks into or coats the surface, and damaged edges are repaired.
Guide price: From £350.
When you need it
- A survey has rated a material as low risk but slightly damaged
- Removal would be disruptive or very expensive
- Cement roofs need weatherproofing
- Asbestos boards are behind fittings you do not want to disturb
- You need a quick, safe fix before a tenancy
What you get
- Condition check
- Minor repairs to damaged edges
- Encapsulant coating or boxing in
- Asbestos warning labels
- Updated register entry
