Got an Old Asbestos Roof?

Asbestos cement roofing is still on plenty of houses, garages, sheds and older commercial buildings around Melbourne. While it is intact and undisturbed it sits there, but once it starts to crack, break up or leak the situation changes.

It also cannot be treated like any other roof. It cannot be pressure cleaned, cut into, or taken to the tip, and getting that wrong creates a much bigger problem than the roof you started with.

That is what stops most people dealing with it. The removal is the complicated part, and it usually means finding a licensed removalist and then a roofer, and coordinating between them.

One Company, Start to Clearance Certificate

We are licensed to remove asbestos roofing and manage compliant disposal, so the containment, the removal and the new roof all run through one company on one schedule.

Once the old roof is off and the site is clear, the new Colorbond roof goes on with new flashings, gutters and downpipes. You end up with a modern roof rather than a cleared roof space and another contractor to find.

You receive the asbestos clearance certificate as part of the handover documentation, along with the Colorbond warranty paperwork. On commercial sites that also includes the Safe Work Method Statement and WorkSafe notification.

No need to waste time getting multiple quotes, this company is very competitive with value and quality for the money. I felt Alex, Ben, Daniel and Liam were always updating me with the staging and were all great to work with. I would highly recommend the company to anyone needing roof care.Happy customer Caroline Russell Briar Hill.

Common Questions

Asbestos Roof Questions

  • Yes. Our licensed team manages containment, removal and compliant disposal in-house rather than subcontracting it, which is why the whole job runs on one schedule.

  • Yes. You receive the asbestos clearance certificate as part of the handover, along with the warranty documentation for the new roof. On commercial sites the WorkSafe notification and Safe Work Method Statement are included.

  • For a house, generally no. The work happens outside and the removal area is contained, and we will tell you at the inspection if anything about your property changes that.

  • Age and appearance are strong indicators, and cement sheet roofing on a building from before the late 1980s should be treated as suspect until tested. We will tell you what we think at the inspection, and testing gives you certainty.

  • There is additional cost, because licensed removal, containment and compliant disposal all have to be done properly. Handling the removal and new roof through one company simplifies the project and avoids coordinating separate contractors.
