What Is Asbestos Roof Removal & Replacement?
Industrial asbestos roof replacement involves the safe removal and disposal of asbestos cement roofing materials, followed by the installation of a new, compliant roofing system. This process is critical in older factories, warehouses, and production facilities where asbestos roofing was commonly installed decades ago. At VBS Ltd, we provide a fully managed service from survey to sign-off, ensuring every aspect meets HSE and UK building regulations.
Benefits of Full Asbestos Roof Replacement
While overcladding is often a viable solution, full asbestos roof replacement can offer benefits also:
-
Complete removal of hazardous materials
-
Opportunity to rework internal lighting or roof ventilation systems
-
Stronger warranties and longer life expectancy
We’ll guide you through the best approach for your building, goals, and compliance obligations
Common Signs You Need Asbestos Roof Replacement:
- Leaks or water ingress
- Cracks or spalling in asbestos cement sheets
- Sagging roof purlins due to water retention
- Poor thermal performance or heat loss
- Difficulty insuring the property due to asbestos risk
If your industrial premises show any of these signs, it’s time to speak to a qualified roofing contractor with asbestos expertise like VBS Ltd.

Asbestos Roof Action
Asbestos roofing naturlly deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to vibration, weathering, or internal heat sources. This deterioration increases the risk of airborne fibre release, which poses a serious health hazard to employees and contractors. Replacing the asbestos roof with a modern, high-performance cladding system not only improves safety but also enhances the building’s thermal efficiency, appearance, and long-term value.
Dont just take our word for it, see what our clients have to say about us
“Recently used VBS to overclad an asbestos roof that had reached the end of its useful life. The roofing team that we had took great pride in "their roof" and the finished result has transformed the look of the facility.
We decided upon the overcladding approach to reduce the impact upon our production as they could overclad whilst we continued underneath once the sacrificial safety netting was installed.”
Andy Simmonds – Digital Business Transformation & Sustainability Manager
MetCom - Stafford, Staffordshire
“We own a large textile mill and having repaired the life out of the main roof decided it was time to invest and renew the roof. After 8 months of searching for a reputable roofing firm, I came across VBS and the Valentine family. Their professionalism and knowledge was so apparent and the time they were willing to spend with us in helping us decide which method to adopt was refreshing. At no point in this lengthy process did i ever feel under pressure to accept their quotes. We felt very much at ease and made a gut decision to work alongside VBS to renew our 40,000 sqft roof. Time frames were not an issue and works commenced late in 2024 and have been completed and signed off very recently. I highly recommend this lovely family firm especially on large roofing projects such as ours. thank you for a job well done! I am willing to provide photos and share our journey and experiences with VBS to interested parties.”

“Absolutely made up with this company from start to finish. They have completed all works within the promised time frame and to a very high standard. The lads who completed the works were respectful regarding our site procedures, on time every day, and courteous at all times, what a fantastic bunch. We were informed at every stage of the works as to what was required for each stage, the whole job couldn't have run any smoother. I'm not usually as kind when it comes to reviews, but this company deserve all the praise I can give them. We did our homework before choosing VBS Limited, I'm thankful we did, we chose the right company for our needs.”

“I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail of the full team including the quote, account and site team.
They overcladd my commercial unit, and the result of my roof over clad was exactly what I was hoping for.
The team were friendly and knowledgeable and answered all my questions.
Overall, I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for roof over cladding services.
They truly went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely satisfied, and it was clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!”

“Absolutely fantastic service, Excellent value, professionally managed from beginning to end of project. Couldn't recommend more highly! Will 100% use again and recommend to everyone!”
Nathan Markey - Facilities Manager
Schawk, Salford, Greater Manchester
Really pleased with the roof replacement of our old corrugated cement sheeted apex roof on our warehouse and factory in Bolton with the latest roofing panels. Thanks to the planned work being carried out efficiently and safely it was completed slightly ahead of time and disruption to our factory operation was minimised. The team kept us informed and we could plan around the situation. The new roof panels save a lot of maintenance issues and the bonus has been a huge improvement from increased natural light. It has visually transformed the whole factory, and is helping us provide and elevated impression to our customers. The outcome has been better than expected. Very impressed with VBS
