Asbestos Over Cladding for farms across the country
Asbestos cement roofs are common on older farm and industrial buildings, and stripping them out is expensive and disruptive. Where the sheets are stable and the frame is sound, over-cladding is often the better answer: a new insulated roof fixed over the top, so the old sheeting is encapsulated and the leaks stop, without the licensed removal and downtime. Where a roof is too far gone to over-clad, we will tell you straight and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
