Asbestos Over Cladding in Workington and the surrounding area
Two conditions decide it. Are the asbestos cement sheets stable, and is the frame beneath them sound? Meet both and over-cladding is the better answer on an older farm or industrial building, fixing a new insulated roof over the top so the old sheeting is encapsulated and the leaks stop without licensed removal or downtime. Fail them and we say so, then arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
We over-clad farm and industrial roofs throughout Workington and the surrounding area, Lamplugh, Sandwith, Senwick, Knockbrex and Townhead among them, and across the wider Cumbria. Send the postcode and we will come and assess the sheeting.

Farmers and rural businesses come back to us
You do not re-roof often, and it is rarely cheap. These are the reasons owners across the country come back to ESW Contractors each time.
Agricultural specialists
Week in, week out we are working on agricultural buildings, so how they are built and how they are used is second nature.
The full job, one contractor
All of it, new roofs, repairs, cladding, gutters, maintenance, comes from one team, so nothing is left between trades.
Minimal disruption
The schedule is built around your operation and the building stays weathertight while we are on it, so work continues.
Straight answers
We are straight about the condition. Repair, over-clad or full replacement, the recommendation follows the roof, not the invoice.
Safe at height
Safe working methods and proper access on every roof, no matter how tricky the building.
Nationwide coverage
One point of contact, working out of Darlington and South Wales, and we will travel for sizeable agricultural and industrial jobs.
