Asbestos encapsulation: seal it safely in place

Encapsulation seals asbestos-containing material in place under a protective coating or enclosure, rather than removing it. Because removal itself carries the greatest risk of releasing fibres, encapsulation can be the safer and more cost-effective option when the material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed.

A survey determines whether encapsulation or full removal is the right approach for your building. Where encapsulation is suitable, our specialist contractors apply the appropriate sealant system and record the work, so the asbestos is managed safely and can be monitored over time as part of an ongoing management plan.

Asbestos Encapsulation FAQs

When is encapsulation used instead of removal?
Encapsulation seals asbestos in place under a protective coating rather than taking it out. It can be the safer, lower-cost choice when the material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, since removal itself carries the biggest risk of releasing fibres. A survey decides whether encapsulation or removal is the right call.
Does my property contain asbestos?
If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it may well contain asbestos, which wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999. It commonly turns up in roofing sheets, textured coatings like Artex, floor tiles, pipe lagging and insulation board. The only reliable way to know for certain is a professional survey.
Is disturbed asbestos dangerous?
Yes. Asbestos is generally low-risk while it's intact and left alone, but disturbing it is where the danger lies. Drilling, cutting, sanding or breaking it releases microscopic fibres that are harmful when breathed in. If you think a material contains asbestos, leave it be and arrange a professional survey or removal before any work starts.
