Asbestos Over Cladding in St Bees and the surrounding area
Asbestos cement sheeting sits on a great many older farm and industrial roofs, and it does not always need taking off. Where the sheets are stable and the frame is sound, a new insulated roof over the top encapsulates the old material and stops the leaks, avoiding licensed removal and the downtime with it. Where the roof is too far gone to over-clad, we tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
We handle over-cladding throughout St Bees and the area nearby, such as Nethertown and the villages around it, and across the wider Cumbria. Let us know the postcode and we will come out and inspect the roof.

Minimal disruption
Your operation sets the plan, and we keep buildings weathertight as we work, so the farm does not grind to a halt.
