Asbestos Roof Removal

Hidden Dangers of Asbestos Roofs (and How to Avoid Them)

Asbestos is a hazardous material, particularly when disturbed. It consists of microscopic asbestos fibres that, when released into the air, can be inhaled and cause serious lung diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The risk is even higher with friable asbestos, which crumbles easily and releases fibres into the atmosphere. This is why asbestos roof removal or restoration requires careful planning and must be conducted by licensed professionals who understand the risks and follow strict Australian standards for health and safety.

The Most Common Asbestos Roof Types: Challenges and Our Solutions

On the Brisbane coast, many older homes and commercial properties still have asbestos sheeting used as roofing material. Common types include:

  • Corrugated asbestos cement sheeting: Often found on older residential homes, this material can become brittle over the years, making it prone to cracking and releasing asbestos fibres during any removal, repairs, replacement, restoration, or disposal services.

  • Flat asbestos cement sheets: These are typically used on commercial buildings but may also appear on homes. They present similar challenges during asbestos roof removal or any repairs and restoration.

  • Asbestos shingles: Less common but still dangerous, asbestos shingles can deteriorate over time, requiring special care during removal and disposal.

Each type of asbestos product requires testing and specialized handling by a licensed team of professionals to avoid the release of dangerous fibres, and ICON Metal Roofing follows precise procedures for the safe removal and disposal of these materials.

Asbestos Roof Removal Costs Explained: Transparency Matters

The cost of asbestos roof removal service can vary depending on several factors, such as:

  • The size of your roof (measured in square metres) – The larger the roof, the higher the removal service cost, as more asbestos material will require careful handling and testing for safety.

  • The condition of the asbestos materials – Damaged or deteriorating asbestos may increase the cost due to the need for more extensive safety measures and additional testing.

  • The complexity of the removal (e.g., accessibility and roof height) – Hard-to-reach areas or high roofs can add to the cost, as specialized equipment and testing procedures may be necessary.

  • Additional testing, roof repairs, restoration, replacement, or modifications needed after the removal – Post-removal costs may rise due to required safety testing and structural repairs or modifications to ensure the roof is asbestos-free and functional.
