Asbestos Roof Removal

Understanding the Dangers of Asbestos

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, replacement, and restoration requires careful planning and must be conducted by licensed professionals who understand the risks and follow strict Australian standards for health and safety.

Common Asbestos Roof Types and Their Removal Challenges

In Brisbane, 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, or restoration.

  • 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.

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

Our Safe and Efficient Asbestos Removal Process

At ICON Metal Roofing in Brisbane, we prioritize your safety and follow a structured approach to asbestos removal that adheres to Australian standards. Here’s a simple 3-step breakdown of our process:

  • Initial Risk Assessment: After initial contact, we begin with a thorough inspection of your residential or commercial roof to assess the condition of the asbestos materials and develop a plan for safe removal. This includes identifying types of asbestos present and determining if the materials are friable asbestos or non-friable. We also provide you with a free comprehensive quote.

  • Careful Asbestos Removal: Our licensed team will carefully remove the asbestos sheeting, section by section, following all safety guidelines. We minimize the release of asbestos fibres by keeping the material wet and ensuring it’s safely wrapped for disposal.
