Undercloaking Asbestos
Our Story
Asbestos undercloaking was once a common material used in roofing construction, positioned beneath roof edges to provide support and weather protection. Typically made from asbestos cement, it was favoured for its durability and resistance to fire and moisture. However, as awareness of asbestos-related risks has grown, many property owners are now seeking to address these materials to prevent potential fibre release caused by wear, damaged asbestos, or renovations.
Asbestos undercloaking, often hidden beneath tiles, garage roofs, or along eaves, can pose a health risk if disturbed, making its careful management essential. Some types of asbestos, including white asbestos, were commonly mixed into cement board and cement mix for added strength, making them harder to identify without professional assessment.

Our Team
Asbestos undercloaking, once valued for its durability, fire resistance, and weatherproofing properties, now poses a hidden risk in many older buildings. While it may remain intact for years, any disturbance from weathering, roof repairs, or general wear and tear can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air, increasing the risk of serious respiratory diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Some types of asbestos, including white asbestos, were commonly used in roof sheeting, cement board, and garage roof materials, making them harder to detect without professional expertise.
The benefits of removing asbestos undercloaking extend beyond eliminating health hazards—it also ensures compliance with UK asbestos regulations, protects the structural integrity of your roof, and makes future renovations safer and more straightforward. By taking action now, you can safeguard your property and the well-being of those inside, ensuring a cleaner, safer environment free from unnecessary risks.
