Industrial Estate Asbestos Roof Waterproofing In Liverpool — Multi-Unit Programme

Yes — that is exactly what the Gaco cold-applied silicone system is for. The whole installation happens from above the roof and outside the building: non-abrasive preparation, priming, fibre-reinforced over-banding of laps and fixings, then the seamless silicone topcoat. No strip-and-recover, no licensed removal, no fibre disturbance — and tenant operations across the estate continue underneath throughout.

The complete Gaco silicone system on a Liverpool industrial estate asbestos roof typically costs £20–£40 per m² fully installed — materials and professional application in one figure. A strip-and-recover of the same roof typically runs £80–£150 per m² once licensed removal, waste and the new covering are counted. A free survey turns the range into one fixed written figure.

Yes. The system is applied from the safe side of the roof with no cutting, drilling or abrasion, so fibres are not disturbed and no HSE notification is required for the coating works themselves. Sealing and managing asbestos cement in place is an accepted in-situ management route under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 — we supply the records your asbestos management plan and register need.

No. There is no flame, no hot air and no internal scaffolding — the coating is cold-applied externally. Works are phased around tenant operations across the estate, with weekend and out-of-hours slots routine across Liverpool. Each roof section is weather-tight the same day it is coated.

Most of it. The primer flashes off in around 1–2 hours and the silicone topcoat cures in 4–8 hours, so installs run in dry weather windows across spring, summer and autumn — and in settled winter spells. The programme is sequenced section by section so the roof is never left exposed overnight.

The finished roof carries a 20-year manufacturer-backed product warranty from Gaco (Amrize) when installed by a Duratite-approved applicator. Silicone is UV-stable and rated for ponding water — and at end of term a thin maintenance coat extends the life again, still without ever disturbing the sheets.

Often, yes. Dealing with asbestos on a commercial building is frequently eligible for Land Remediation Relief — typically a 150% deduction from corporation tax for qualifying remediation expenditure. We provide the project documentation your accountant needs; your tax adviser confirms eligibility for your circumstances.

Yes. The approved contractor network that covers Liverpool works across the whole of Merseyside. One survey team, one specification, one 20-year manufacturer-backed product warranty — wherever the industrial estate building is.

Installation is carried out by Gaco-approved contractors with manufacturer training, asbestos awareness training, full public liability insurance and CSCS-qualified operatives. The products are supplied by Duratite Building Products Limited, and the 20-year product warranty is manufacturer-backed by Gaco (Amrize) — only valid when an approved applicator completes the install, which is exactly how every Duratite-managed project runs.
