Exterior Cladding and Fireproof Cladding

Ash and Lacy are specialists in the supply of exterior cladding for recladding projects that require UK fireproof cladding to replace materials removed as part of the UK government safety initiative. All External Fire Resistant Cladding meets minimum A2,s1-d0 and Fire Rating Class 0.

Since 2017, over 2000 residential buildings have been identified as high risk, with some form of dangerous cladding.
