Safe asbestos encapsulation solution for commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties. Licensed coating specialists apply protective waterproof sealing systems that contain asbestos in place, eliminating removal costs and business disruption. Serving all 32 counties with free site assessments and transparent quotations.
HSA-approved alternative to removal with proven long-term performance
Your facility remains fully operational throughout the entire encapsulation process. No production stoppages, no revenue loss, no temporary closures. Work is conducted during normal operating hours with minimal disruption to daily activities.
Encapsulation eliminates asbestos removal expenses, waste disposal fees, replacement roofing costs, and temporary weatherproofing requirements. An economically sound solution for industrial and commercial properties requiring HSA-compliant asbestos management.
Our encapsulation systems deliver backed by 10-year workmanship warranty. HSA-compliant containment engineered for decades of protection. All materials meet Irish Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2006-2010.
Approved asbestos management strategy that avoids fibre disturbance during removal. Encapsulation seals asbestos in place using protective coatings, eliminating exposure risks associated with dismantling and disposal. Fully compliant with HSA guidance on asbestos management in workplaces.
Advanced polymer coating systems create seamless, impermeable barriers against water ingress, UV degradation, and harsh Irish weather conditions. Prevents deterioration that causes asbestos fibre release whilst providing superior waterproofing for decades.
Most industrial encapsulation projects completed within depending on roof area. Rapid application compared to multi-week removal timelines. Weather-dependent work scheduled during suitable conditions to ensure optimal coating adhesion and curing.
HSA-compliant 5-step encapsulation methodology from assessment to certification
Our HSA-licensed surveyors conduct comprehensive site assessments to identify asbestos-containing roof materials, evaluate their condition, and determine encapsulation suitability. We assess roof structure, existing damage, and environmental factors. Detailed reports include material identification, condition ratings, and encapsulation recommendations with no obligation.
Based on assessment findings, we provide detailed quotations covering all encapsulation costs including surface preparation, coating materials, labour, and HSA-compliant documentation. Our quotes include project timelines, weather dependency considerations, and method statements explaining every stage of work with no hidden fees.
Before encapsulation, asbestos roof surfaces undergo controlled cleaning using low-pressure washing techniques and approved cleaning agents. All wastewater is filtered and contained to prevent environmental contamination. Surfaces are thoroughly dried and inspected to ensure optimal coating adhesion. Work is conducted following strict HSA safe work procedures.
Licensed operatives apply multi-layer protective coating systems using specialist airless spray equipment. Base coats penetrate and seal asbestos fibres, mid-coats provide reinforcement and waterproofing, whilst topcoats deliver UV protection and weatherproofing. All coatings are HSA-approved materials specifically designed for asbestos encapsulation applications.
Upon completion, we conduct thorough quality inspections verifying complete coverage, uniform coating thickness, and absence of defects. Photographic documentation records all work stages. We provide HSA-compliant completion certificates, material safety data sheets, and maintenance guidance for your records and future property transactions.
When encapsulation is the right choice for your property
Keep your facility running throughout the project. No temporary closures, no production delays, no staff displacement.
Lower overall project costs with reduced labour hours, no waste disposal fees, and minimal site disruption.
Protective coatings add decades of service life to existing roof structures whilst containing asbestos safely.
Asbestos remains undisturbed and sealed in place. No fibre release risks associated with removal activities.
Coating systems strengthen and protect existing roof materials, improving load-bearing capacity and weather resistance.
No landfill disposal required. Reduces environmental impact whilst achieving HSA-compliant asbestos management.
Expert answers about asbestos encapsulation services, suitability, regulations, and long-term performance in Ireland
Encapsulation is suitable for asbestos cement corrugated roof sheets, asbestos cement flat sheets, industrial warehouse roofs, agricultural building roofs, and commercial property roofs. The asbestos materials must be in reasonable structural condition (not severely deteriorated or damaged). Our HSA-licensed surveyors assess suitability during free site inspections and recommend encapsulation or removal based on material condition, roof access, and structural integrity.
Professional encapsulation systems provide 25-year service life expectancy when correctly applied and maintained. We provide 10-year workmanship warranties covering coating adhesion, waterproofing integrity, and material performance. Lifespan depends on coating quality, application standards, weather exposure, and regular maintenance. Annual inspections identify any maintenance requirements before they become problems.
Yes, encapsulated asbestos roofs can accommodate foot traffic for maintenance when proper safety precautions are followed. Protective coatings create durable, trafficable surfaces. However, we recommend using roof walkways, crawl boards, and appropriate PPE to prevent coating damage. Regular maintenance activities such as gutter cleaning, roof inspections, and equipment servicing can proceed normally with sensible access precautions.
Encapsulation requires dry weather conditions with temperatures above 5°C for optimal coating curing. Work cannot proceed during rain, heavy winds (above 30km/h), or freezing conditions. Surface moisture prevents proper coating adhesion. In Ireland, encapsulation is typically scheduled between March and October when weather conditions are most favourable. We monitor weather forecasts closely and schedule work during suitable windows to ensure quality results.
Yes, asbestos encapsulation is recognised by the Health and Safety Authority as a compliant asbestos management strategy under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006-2010. Encapsulation must be performed by licensed operatives using approved materials and methods. We provide HSA-compliant documentation including method statements, risk assessments, and completion certificates proving regulatory compliance for workplace safety audits and property transactions.
Yes, encapsulated roofs can be recoated when topcoat weathering occurs (typically after 15-20 years). Recoating involves surface cleaning and application of fresh topcoat layers without disturbing the base encapsulation system. This extends protection for another 10-15 years. Recoating is significantly cheaper than initial encapsulation and requires only 1-2 days for most projects. Regular maintenance recoating maximises lifespan and maintains waterproofing integrity.
Minor damage (small cracks, scratches) can be repaired using patch coating applications. Our team conducts damage assessments and applies localised repairs using compatible coating materials. Severe damage (large tears, structural failures) may require full recoating or removal depending on extent. We recommend annual inspections to identify and repair minor damage before it worsens. All repair work follows HSA safe work procedures to prevent asbestos fibre release.
