Insulation, Lagging & Cladding

Thermal and acoustic insulation systems with weather-tight metal cladding for long-term performance.

Effective insulation cuts energy losses, protects personnel and stabilises process temperatures. Our crews design and install full systems — from mineral-wool or foam insulation through to aluminium or stainless cladding. All work is finished to a high cosmetic standard and detailed for ease of future inspection and removal. When existing insulation contains asbestos-cement materials, our registered asbestos abatement crew handles the safe removal before new insulation goes on.

Insulation rarely sits in isolation: most contracts include companion scopes such as pipeline fabrication and lagging, roof and side sheeting installation where cladding ties into the building envelope, and industrial lining and coating of the underlying steel before the insulation is fitted. Access is supplied through our own scaffolding and rope-access crews.
