Overview

Asbestos Over Cladding in Brampton and the surrounding area

The expense of a licensed strip-out, and the weeks a building spends out of use, are what push most owners towards over-cladding. On older farm and industrial buildings with stable asbestos cement sheets and a sound frame, a new insulated roof is fixed over the top: old sheeting encapsulated, leaks stopped, no removal required. Where a roof is too far gone, we will tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.

Brampton is well covered for over-cladding, as is the area nearby including Cardurnock, Kirkbride, Gaitsgill, Stockdalewath and Newby West, and the wider Cumbria. Give us the postcode and the age of the roof, and we will come and inspect it.

FAQs

Asbestos Over Cladding in Brampton: common questions

Is over-cladding cheaper than removing asbestos?

It typically is, on a roof whose asbestos is stable and whose frame is sound. Licensed strip-out, disposal and downtime all fall away, replaced by a new insulated roof over the existing one, where the asbestos is stable and the frame is sound.

Is the asbestos safe once it is over-clad?

The sheets are encapsulated in place and not disturbed by the work. Where they are broken already, or the roof cannot support an over-clad, we say so and arrange licensed removal.

Do I need to tell anyone before over-cladding an asbestos roof?

Check with whoever insures the building and against any site rules that apply. We work to the relevant guidance for working near asbestos and will set out what a straightforward over-clad involves.

Will over-cladding make the building warmer?

It does, typically. Insulation is included in the over-clad, cutting condensation and heat loss for stock buildings and workshops alike.

How long does an over-clad roof last?

A long-term fix, in the order of decades rather than years, and the steel or composite sheets have their own manufacturer guarantees.
