Asbestos Over Cladding in Sedbergh and the surrounding area
Older farm and industrial roofs are commonly asbestos cement, and removing one is expensive and disruptive in equal measure. Where the sheets are stable and the frame sound, over-cladding puts a new insulated roof over the top, encapsulating the old sheeting and stopping the leaks, with no licensed removal and no downtime. Where a roof is too far gone for that, we tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
Sedbergh and the area around it, including Millthrop, Ingmire Hall, Gawthrop, Dent, Low Haygarth and Lea Yeat, is covered for over-cladding, together with the wider Cumbria. Send the postcode and we will come and inspect the sheeting.
