Asbestos Over Cladding in Bowness-on-Windermere and the surrounding area
Most older farm and industrial buildings still carry asbestos cement roofs, and the cost of taking one off is considerable. Over-cladding avoids it where the sheets are stable and the frame is sound, fixing a new insulated roof over the top to encapsulate the old sheeting and stop the leaks. Where the roof cannot take one, we tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
Older roofs in Bowness-on-Windermere and the surrounding area, including Troutbeck Bridge, Hawkshead, Satterthwaite, Newby Bridge and Stribers, fall within our patch, as does the wider Cumbria. Tell us the postcode and we will come and look at the sheets.
