Overview
Anglia Industrial Roofing completed the safe removal of 2,000m² of asbestos roofing and installed a new high-performance Kingspan composite roof system on a busy industrial building. The works upgraded a tired, weathered asbestos cement roof into a clean, modern, fully insulated envelope that delivers measurable performance benefits to the building owner. The job was led by Aaron and the wider Anglia Industrial Roofing team, who delivered the project to a high standard for both quality and on-site safety.
Health, Safety and Environmental Management
Asbestos removal on an industrial scale requires layered safety controls rather than reliance on any single measure. We had full HSE measures in place across the project from day one:
- Underside safety netting installed beneath all working areas to protect personnel below
- Full perimeter edge protection installed before any roof works commenced
- Daily air monitoring throughout the asbestos removal phase
- Detailed RAMS and asbestos plans of work approved prior to start on site
- Licensed removal and certified waste disposal through approved facilities
Asbestos Removal
The 2,000m² of existing asbestos cement roofing was removed under a fully licensed process in compliance with current HSE regulations. Controlled removal methods, continuous air monitoring, and certified waste disposal kept the site safe for our operatives, the building occupants, and the surrounding properties. The works were phased so that no section was left exposed at the end of any shift, protecting the building from weather ingress throughout the strip-out.
Kingspan Composite Installation
The replacement specification was a Kingspan composite roof system, installed on the existing structure with new perimeter detailing, ridge cappings, and rainwater goods as required. Kingspan composite panels are an insulated panel system designed for long-term industrial use, delivering excellent thermal performance, weather resistance, and longevity in a single product.
The Real Benefits to the Building
A roof upgrade of this type is not just a cosmetic improvement. The benefits to the building owner are measurable and long term:
- Improved EPC rating, supporting the building’s energy performance compliance
- Enhanced insulation and energy efficiency, reducing heat loss through the roof envelope
- A long-term solution to leaks, ending the cycle of temporary patch repairs that come with an aged asbestos roof
- A clean, modern finish that lifts the appearance of the entire industrial building
The Team
A great job delivered by Aaron and the Anglia Industrial Roofing team, showcasing the quality, safety, and long-term performance the team consistently brings to industrial re-roofing projects of this scale.
