It's worth remembering that buildings move all the time, particularly large-scale industrial ones. Our asbestos roof coatings are designed to have enough flexibility to adapt and shift with these movements, ensuring your roof remains sealed and water-tight, despite the weather. Our Specialist Roofing System has 340% elongation properties – so you know you are protected from cracks and movement.
GLS Coatings' professionalism and performance to the tasks in hand was exceptional. From the initial meeting and planning the work to the operatives onsite and the QA procedures undertaken during and after. I cannot fault GLS and would happily employ them again.

Thank you for your enquiry, one of our team will be in contact shortly to discuss your requirements.
Stage One - Cleaning the Asbestos Roof
Stage 2 - Applying the Structural Stabilising Layer to the Asbestos Roof
This stabilising layer is spray-applied under high pressure and it fills any small voids or cracks, before expanding and setting to form a lightweight layer – sealing the whole roof.
It also secures any loose or broken fixings, which are common on old asbestos roofs.
Stage 3 - Applying Advanced Waterproofing Layer to the Asbestos Roof
Finally, a technologically advanced waterproof barrier is applied over the structural stabilising layer. Using the latest chemical technology, this layer is spray-applied and forms a complete, seamless coating over the entire roof area.
The duty to manage asbestos is directed at those who manage non-domestic premises: the people with responsibility for protecting others who work in such premises, or use them in other ways, from the risks to ill health that exposure to asbestos causes.

‘Asbestos still kills around 5000 workers each year – this is more than the number of people killed on the road, with around 20 tradesmen dying each week as a result of past exposure.’ Source: Health & Safety Executive.
But asbestos isn’t just a thing of the past – it can still be found in any building that was built or refurbished before 2000.
It is easy to see why asbestos was hailed as being a brilliant solution for the building trade – it has many applications from lining airing cupboards to providing durable asbestos cement roofs which have lasted for decades.
However, many of these roofs are now failing and letting in water. Yet it is an extremely costly business to over-clad or replace an asbestos cement roof, with the possibility of the release of harmful asbestos fibres.
This is where GLS Coatings Asbestos Encapsulation System proves extremely cost-effective – WITHOUT disrupting the business.
