Overview

Asbestos Over Cladding in Crooklands and the surrounding area

A strip-out brings licensed removal, real expense and a building you cannot use. Over-cladding brings none of those, provided the asbestos cement sheets are stable and the frame is sound: the new insulated roof goes over the top, the old sheeting is encapsulated and the leaks stop. Where a roof is beyond over-cladding, we will say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.

Our work takes in Crooklands and the area nearby, Hincaster, Heversham, Storth, Rigmaden Park, Yealand Redmayne and Yealand Conyers among them, plus the wider Cumbria. Let us have the postcode and we will come and assess whether the roof will take an over-clad.

FAQs

Asbestos Over Cladding in Crooklands: common questions

Is over-cladding cheaper than removing asbestos?

Cheaper in most cases. The licensed removal, the disposal and the lost use of the building are what cost the money, and over-cladding avoids them. Stable asbestos on a sound frame is the requirement.

Is the asbestos safe once it is over-clad?

Encapsulated and undisturbed is the answer. Where the sheets are already broken, or the roof cannot take an over-clad, we say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.

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

Your site rules first, your insurer second, and both before work starts. We work to the relevant guidance for working near asbestos and will talk you through a straightforward over-clad.

Will over-cladding make the building warmer?

It normally will. Insulation is built into the over-clad, bringing down condensation and heat loss for livestock buildings and workshops.

How long does an over-clad roof last?

Long term, and not on our word alone: measured in decades rather than years, with manufacturer guarantees on the steel or composite sheets.
