Martin Hool Construction Ltd

2026 is off to a flier!👷‍♂️The team from Martin Hool Construction Ltd got straight to it after Christmas and the scaffolding went up with Ulverston's own Cumbria Design Scaffold
They're on with preparing for the new roof, peeling back the steel sheets and removing the soggy old insulation.
The next step is to remove the asbestos cement panels that were used on the Mart's roof (the sort of stuff you might see on old garages). While this is a low risk product, we are taking no chances. Kendal based Air Asbestos Management Services will start the careful task of removing it, panel by panel, in February. They will be booted and suited and operate an approved safe system of work for this activity, in PPE that is standard industry practice to protect those who do this work every day.
When they’ve finished (hopefully later in February) we will be completely asbestos free!!
Then we'll be able to get going with the new roof, with composite cladding that will look similar but is thicker, really well insulated and will have clearer insulated skylights to let the light shine in ☀️
Thanks to all our neighbours for bearing with us through this patch involving all the scaffolding and construction traffic.
Hopefully the weather will be kind and come Spring the big exterior works will be done and we'll be on with getting the inside ready for you 💪
