No Removal Required
The encapsulation system seals and protects without disturbing asbestos fibres. No stripping, no hazardous waste disposal, and no risk of fibre release during the process.
Professional asbestos roof encapsulation and waterproofing for commercial and industrial properties across Dublin. Safe, HSA-compliant solutions without removal — protecting warehouses, factories, and business premises throughout Dublin city and county.
Dublin's commercial landscape — with its ageing industrial estates, corrugated asbestos cement roofing, and exposure to persistent rain and coastal winds — demands specialist waterproofing expertise that goes beyond standard roofing contractors.
Operating from our Ballymount base in Dublin 12, we deliver rapid-response asbestos roof encapsulation and waterproofing for commercial and industrial buildings across the county. Our teams regularly work in Park West, Dublin Airport Logistics Park, and Sandyford Business District — areas with significant concentrations of asbestos-roofed commercial premises.
As the video demonstrates, our encapsulation system seals and waterproofs asbestos roofs without removal, providing a safe, cost-effective alternative to full replacement. The process is designed specifically for occupied commercial buildings where business continuity is paramount.
Our commercial asbestos roof services include:

Why encapsulation suits commercial buildings:
For detailed information about our encapsulation methodology and the systems we use, visit our national asbestos roof waterproofing page. We also offer flat roof waterproofing and metal roof treatments for commercial properties.
Every project follows a proven four-stage methodology — because thorough preparation is the foundation of any lasting encapsulation system.
The entire roof surface is carefully cleaned using specialist low-pressure equipment to remove accumulated dirt, moss, lichen, and biological growth — without disturbing or damaging asbestos cement sheets.
Thorough preparation ensures maximum adhesion for the encapsulation system that follows.
Once clean, every section of the roof is inspected to identify cracks, broken fixings, failed overlaps, and areas of deterioration. Particular attention is given to junctions, ridge lines, and roof light surrounds where leaks most commonly originate.

All identified weak points are addressed before encapsulation begins.
This typically includes:
Expanding sealant materials are used to fully close overlaps and eliminate voids across the roof surface.
With all repairs complete, the encapsulation system is applied across the entire roof.
The system is built up in stages:
The completed coating forms a fully bonded, weather-resistant membrane that seals asbestos fibres and prevents water penetration for years to come.
The completed system forms a fully bonded, weather-resistant encapsulation membrane — sealing asbestos fibres, eliminating leak paths, and extending the functional life of the roof by decades.
For Dublin commercial property owners, encapsulation delivers measurable advantages over full removal — safer process, lower cost, and decades of proven protection.
Watch: Benefits of asbestos roof encapsulation
The encapsulation system seals and protects without disturbing asbestos fibres. No stripping, no hazardous waste disposal, and no risk of fibre release during the process.
Fully certified in line with Health and Safety Authority regulations. We handle all compliance documentation, risk assessments, and notification requirements on your behalf.
Encapsulation typically costs a fraction of full removal and re-roofing. No skip hire, no scaffolding for demolition, and no licensed asbestos disposal fees — real savings for commercial property budgets.
Work is scheduled around your operations. No need to vacate the premises or halt production — the encapsulation process is carried out from the roof with negligible impact on day-to-day business.
With its proven safety record, minimal disruption, and long-term durability, asbestos roof encapsulation consistently outperforms full removal — making it the preferred choice for commercial property managers who demand reliable, cost-effective results.

When full encapsulation isn't yet needed, our targeted spot leak repair service offers a fast, cost-effective interim solution for commercial buildings with isolated leak points on asbestos cement roofs.
As the video shows, our team safely accesses the roof via temporary walkway systems, identifies each active leak point, and applies targeted repairs using specialist mastics and waterproofing compounds. The entire process is carried out without disturbing asbestos fibres, in full compliance with HSA requirements.
From our Ballymount base, we can respond rapidly to urgent commercial leak situations across Dublin — minimising water damage and protecting stock, equipment, and business operations.
Spot repairs address:
Spot leak repair can serve as an effective first step before scheduling full encapsulation later. It provides immediate protection against water ingress while you plan and budget for a comprehensive waterproofing solution.

Encapsulation seals and waterproofs the existing roof without disturbing asbestos fibres.

For roofs in sound structural condition, encapsulation is the preferred approach.
