Asbestos Over Cladding in Longlands and the surrounding area
Older farm and industrial buildings are full of asbestos cement roofing, and stripping it out costs a great deal while putting the building out of use. Stable sheets and a sound frame allow the alternative: a new insulated roof over the top, the old sheeting encapsulated, the leaks stopped, no licensed removal needed. Where the roof will not take an over-clad, we say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
Our over-cladding work reaches Longlands and the area round about, Skinburness, Little Orton, Highlaws, Drumburgh and Gretna Green included, and extends through the wider Cumbria. Give us the postcode and we will come and assess the condition of the sheets.
