The Roof Savers Highlight Encapsulation Solutions For Commercial Roofs

The Roof Savers, a specialist in roof protection and restoration, is focusing on encapsulation solutions for commercial properties across New Zealand. The company provides alternatives to traditional re-roofing by offering commercial roof repairs and asbestos encapsulation services designed to extend the life of existing roofing structures.

According to The Roof Savers, many commercial buildings face challenges such as leaks, rust, and the presence of asbestos in older roofing materials. Rather than opting for full roof replacement—which can be costly and disruptive—the company applies Rust-Oleum Noxyde, a flexible, anti-corrosive waterproof membrane. This method is designed to restore and protect roofs, with the company noting that it can be less than half the cost of replacement and comes with a 10-year pro rata warranty.

For asbestos-containing roofs, The Roof Savers employs asbestos encapsulation, which involves applying a durable seal directly onto the surface. This process locks asbestos fibres in place, preventing them from becoming airborne and reducing health risks. The encapsulation also creates a waterproof and weather-resistant barrier, aiming to minimise operational downtime for businesses and avoid the expense and complexity of full asbestos removal.

The company’s approach is intended to meet safety and compliance standards while minimising disruption to daily operations. The Roof Savers’ in-house team carries out all work, ensuring quality control throughout the process. The encapsulation method is applicable to a range of surfaces, including metal and asbestos roofs, cladding, and other structures.

The Roof Savers reports that their solutions have enabled businesses to continue operating during repairs, with the encapsulation process designed to be less invasive and more cost-effective than conventional alternatives.
