The Risks of Weathered Asbestos Roofs
Newcastle Asbestos Removals connects you with licensed removalists for asbestos roof sheeting across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, including corrugated cement roofing, gutters, downpipes and ridge capping. Decades of sun, salt air and storms along the coast from Merewether to Swansea wear down corrugated cement roofing. As the cement binder breaks down, hazardous asbestos fibres are exposed to the elements and can wash into gutters and soil.
Removing an asbestos roof combines two high-risk activities: working at heights and handling friable or severely weathered asbestos. This needs scaffolding, edge protection and a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist. Friable material needs a Class A licence (SafeWork NSW).
A full roof assessment covers the corrugated sheeting, gutters, downpipes, and ridge capping, all of which may contain asbestos materials in older homes. If you're unsure whether your sheeting contains asbestos, asbestos testing can confirm before removal work is quoted. All removed material requires compliant licensed disposal at a facility licensed to take asbestos.
