Asbestos Over Cladding in Millom and the surrounding area
An honest answer comes before anything else. Some asbestos cement roofs on older farm and industrial buildings cannot be over-clad, and for those we say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist. For the rest, where the sheets are stable and the frame is sound, a new insulated roof over the top encapsulates the old sheeting, stops the leaks and avoids the cost and downtime of a strip-out.
Asbestos cement roofs across Millom and the surrounding area, Haverigg, Whicham, Duddon Bridge, Biggar and Gleaston for instance, are regular work, plus the wider Cumbria. Send over the postcode and we will come and assess them.
