Asbestos Over Cladding in Barrow-in-Furness and the surrounding area
Licensed removal is the expensive, disruptive route, and on most older farm and industrial buildings it is not the necessary one. Where the asbestos cement sheets are stable and the frame is sound, a new insulated roof goes over the top: the old sheeting is encapsulated, the leaks stop, and the downtime never happens. Where a roof is too far gone to over-clad, we will tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
Over-cladding takes us across Barrow-in-Furness and the area around it, including Vickerstown, Roosecote, Newbarns, Stainton with Adgarley, Dendron and Roa Island, and the wider Cumbria. Tell us the postcode and the age of the building, and we will come and look at the sheets.
