Asbestos Over Cladding in Kirkby Lonsdale and the surrounding area
What stops the leaks is a new insulated roof fixed over the existing one, which also encapsulates the old asbestos cement sheeting. On older farm and industrial buildings with stable sheets and a sound frame that beats a strip-out on cost and on downtime alike. Where a roof is too far gone to over-clad, we say so plainly and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
We over-clad in Kirkby Lonsdale and the area close by, Casterton, Westhouse, Capernwray, Bullpot Farm, Kearstwick and Arkholme for example, and throughout the wider Cumbria. Give us the postcode and we will come and assess the roof.
