Spray Cork Asbestos Encapsulation
Encapsulate asbestos roofs, soffits, AIB ceilings and industrial cladding in-situ with a certified spray cork system — HSE-compliant, ~60% cheaper than removal, with full CAR 2012 documentation.
The problem
Why this matters
Asbestos removal is invasive, expensive (£60–£120/m² plus disposal), and risks fibre release. Yet leaving weathered asbestos exposed is a growing long-term liability under CAR 2012.
Our solution
How we fix it
Where the asbestos is stable, encapsulation locks the fibres in place under a flexible, weatherproof spray cork layer. The HSE recognises encapsulation under HSG264 and regulation 4 of CAR 2012 as an accepted long-term control measure.
What you get
- Typically 50–65% cheaper than licensed removal
- HSE-recognised under HSG264 and CAR 2012
- No fibre disturbance — coating binds fibres in place
- Suitable for asbestos cement, AIB ceilings, soffits, cladding
- Ideal for farm barn roofs, industrial roofs and garages
- Restores full weatherproofing in the same visit
- Full method statement, RAMS and 25-year warranty

Common questions
People often ask
- Is asbestos encapsulation legal and HSE-approved in the UK?
- Yes — it's an HSE-recognised management option under HSG264 for stable, non-friable asbestos, and satisfies CAR 2012 duty-holder obligations.
- How much does asbestos encapsulation cost per m²?
- Typically £20–£45 per m² in the UK in 2026 — roughly 50–65% cheaper than licensed removal at £60–£120/m² plus waste disposal.
- Can you encapsulate asbestos cement barn roofs?
- Yes — asbestos cement farm barn roofs are the single most common substrate we encapsulate, across Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey.
- Can you encapsulate AIB ceilings and soffits?
- Yes — AIB ceilings, soffits and internal partitions are all suitable when the material is stable and non-friable. Full HSG264 procedures apply.
- How long does the encapsulation last?
- Our spray cork encapsulation system carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty; real-world service life on UK roofs regularly exceeds 30 years.
- Do you provide asbestos management plan documentation?
- Yes — every job leaves site with warranty, product data, RAMS, photo record and a register update wording for your duty-holder.
