asbestos roof
Licensed asbestos roof removal, wet-method dismantling, and EPA-compliant disposal across Australia.
If your home or commercial building has pre-1990 roof sheeting, corrugated fibro, or asbestos cement ridge capping, don't risk DIY removal. C&A Asbestos Removal provides safe, compliant roof removal with full documentation and tidy site handover.
Licensed removal — we follow Safe Work Australia Code of Practice and EPA disposal rules.
Why asbestos in roofs is a serious health risk
Asbestos cement (commonly called "fibro") was widely used in Australian roofing and eaves up to the late 1980s. Weathering, drilling, cutting or accidental damage can release microscopic fibres that remain airborne and pose long-term health risks when inhaled.
Roof removal requires experienced contractors, specialised PPE, wet-methods to suppress fibres, and controlled removal and transport. Incorrect handling can contaminate your property and surrounding areas.
C&A Asbestos Removal specialises in roof sheeting, ridge capping, eaves and soffit removal with licensed, documented disposal to EPA facilities — and we provide a free, no-obligation quote.
Common Australian roof types that may contain asbestos
If your roof was installed before the early 1990s, it may contain asbestos. Typical asbestos roof components include:
Corrugated asbestos roof sheeting (fibro)
Long, corrugated cement sheets used across suburban homes and sheds. Often brittle with age — removal requires panel-by-panel wet-methods.
Ridge capping & hips
Cement ridge capping and flashings can contain asbestos and must be removed carefully to avoid breakage and fibre release.
Eaves, soffits & fascia boards
Asbestos cement was commonly used in eaves and soffits — repairs or renovations can disturb these areas and release fibres.
Roof tiles & cement sheets
Flat cement sheets and older tile underlays sometimes contain asbestos and need specialist assessment and removal.
Industrial and commercial roof panels
Small-to-medium commercial roofs can contain asbestos sheeting — C&A manages projects with minimal disruption to business operations.
Damaged or weathered roofing
Aged or cracked roofing often sheds fibres more easily and should be handled by licensed professionals.
How C&A safely removes asbestos roofs — our licensed wet-method process
Free quote and onsite assessment
We assess roof type, access, and condition, and provide a clear written quote. Photos and recommendations supplied where needed.
Risk assessment & control plan
We prepare a site-specific control plan aligned with Safe Work Australia guidance — including exclusion zones, access control and PPE requirements.
Containment and wet-method dismantling
We use wetting agents to suppress fibres, remove panels methodically, and use temporary containment where required to prevent spread of fibres.
Double-bagging, labelling & licensed transport
All waste is double-bagged and labelled on site. We transport to EPA-licensed facilities using licensed carriers and provide waste tracking documentation.
Final clean and documentation
We perform a site clean and provide disposal receipts and completion paperwork. Independent air monitoring can be arranged where required.
We follow Safe Work Australia's Code of Practice for asbestos removal and keep the process transparent — you deal directly with our team, not a call centre.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?
Roofs installed before the early 1990s are more likely to contain asbestos cement. We can assess photos or visit site to inspect and advise—testing can be arranged if there's uncertainty.
Can I remove asbestos roof sheets myself?
DIY removal is strongly discouraged. Roof work is hazardous — being at height increases risk and incorrect handling can spread fibres. For most roof removals a licensed removalist is required by regulation.
How long does roof removal take?
Duration depends on roof size, access, and complexity. Small residential jobs are often completed in a day or two; larger or commercial jobs take longer. We'll provide a timeline in your quote.
What documentation will I receive after removal?
You receive a completion certificate, EPA disposal receipts and a job summary. Independent air monitoring reports can also be provided if requested.
