Asbestos Over Cladding in Keswick and the surrounding area
Encapsulation rather than removal is the principle behind an over-clad. Fix a new insulated roof over stable asbestos cement sheeting on a sound frame and the old material stays put and covered while the leaks stop, with no licensed removal and no downtime. That covers most older farm and industrial buildings; where a roof is too far gone to over-clad, we say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
We work on over-cladding right across Keswick and the area around it, Stair, Braithwaite, Bassenthwaite, Glenridding and Loweswater among them, and into the wider Cumbria. A postcode and a note on the building are enough for us to come and assess it.
