Our team safely removed and disposed of the asbestos roof in line with current regulations, then installed a new roofing system designed to improve the building's thermal efficiency, weather resistance and overall appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">This approach gave the client a safe, fully compliant and high performing new roof, making it a practical route for other commercial and industrial property owners in Braintree and across Essex who are dealing with ageing asbestos roofs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Asbestos Removal\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The project began with the safe removal of the existing asbestos roof. This work was carried out by trained operatives following strict health and safety procedures, with all asbestos materials removed and disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with current regulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Removing the asbestos roof cleared the way for a completely new, modern roofing system to be installed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">New Roof Installation\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">With the asbestos roof removed, a new roofing system was installed. The new roof works included:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul dir=\"ltr\">\n\u003Cli>New structural roof sheets\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Upgraded insulation\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>New rooflights\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>New gutters and gutter liners\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>New associated flashings and finishing details\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Together, these works created a brand new protective building envelope, significantly upgrading the condition and performance of the roof compared to the original asbestos structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Improved Thermal Performance\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Improving thermal efficiency was a key objective of the project. Upgraded insulation was incorporated into the new roofing system to help reduce heat loss and improve the building's overall energy performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">For commercial and industrial buildings, replacing an old asbestos roof delivers benefits that go beyond weather protection and compliance alone. Better insulation can help reduce energy consumption, improve internal working temperatures and strengthen EPC performance, an increasingly important factor for commercial landlords and occupiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">New Rooflights for Improved Daylighting\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">New rooflights were installed as part of the new roof, replacing the ageing existing units and increasing the amount of natural daylight entering the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The new rooflights were fully integrated into the new roofing system, providing a secure, weather resistant finish while helping to create a brighter, more welcoming internal environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Gutter Upgrades for Long Term Protection\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">New gutters and gutter liners were installed as part of the works to improve rainwater management and provide protection against future water ingress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Commercial gutters are particularly vulnerable to deterioration over time, so addressing them alongside the roof replacement delivers a more complete, long term roofing solution rather than storing up problems for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Long Term Protection: 40 Year Warranty\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">On completion, the new roofing system was backed by a \u003Cstrong>40 year warranty\u003C\u002Fstrong>, giving the client long term reassurance and confidence in the performance of their new roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">The Result\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The finished project safely removed a hazardous ageing asbestos roof and replaced it with a modern, insulated, weather resistant roofing system, transforming both the safety and performance of the building and securing its long term future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Dealing With an Asbestos Roof in Essex?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">For commercial and industrial property owners in Braintree and across Essex with ageing asbestos roofs, safe removal and replacement offers a compliant, long term solution, delivering significant improvements in safety, thermal performance, weather protection and longevity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cstrong>Get in touch with Cambridge Roof
