Asbestos Encapsulation

When asbestos roof surfaces are exposed to the elements over the years
a loose surface layer develops which on roofs becomes colonised with
lichen.

The lichen attacks the cement which causes the exposure of
Asbestos Fibres. Asbestos weathered roofs that remain untreated give
off dangerous fibres.

When weathered Asbestos becomes unstable it poses a significant risk to
the community. In this situation, roof removal is always the preferred
option.

Asbestos encapsulation is only permitted on stable Non Friable Asbestos.
Allstate Asbestos & Demolition Pty Ltd can apply a stabilising coat followed
by a finishing coat to the roof in line with the manufacturers instructions.
