Professional asbestos roof removal, safe wet-method dismantling, and licensed disposal—ready for re-roofing.
C&A Asbestos Removal provides Australia-wide licensed removal of asbestos roofing and corrugated sheeting. We prioritise safety, compliance and tidy sites — you deal directly with the team, not a call centre.
Licensed removal, wet methods, EPA-compliant disposal and full documentation.
Why getting rid of asbestos roof matters
Asbestos-cement roofing and corrugated sheeting were commonly used in Australian homes and commercial buildings built before the 1990s. When intact, these materials may pose a lower immediate risk, but weathering, renovations or re-roofing can release dangerous fibres into the air.
Removing asbestos roofing without proper containment, wet methods and licensed handling can expose occupants, neighbours and trades to asbestos fibres. C&A handles the entire process safely and legally, preparing your building for a safe re-roofing.
Comprehensive asbestos roof removal — scope of work
From initial assessment to licensed disposal, we provide end-to-end services designed to make your site safe and re-roofing-ready.
Site assessment & testing
We inspect roof condition, check access and, where needed, arrange asbestos testing or sampling to confirm material type and risk.
Safe access & fall controls
We set up scaffolding, fall-arrest systems and safe access per Australian WHS requirements before any work at height begins.
Wet-method dismantling
Roof sheets are thoroughly wetted to suppress fibres, removed carefully panel-by-panel and handled to avoid breakage and dust generation.
Containment & negative pressure
Where required, we establish controlled zones with tarps, sealed drop sheets and air-control measures to prevent fibre migration to the surrounding areas.
Double-bagging & licensed disposal
All asbestos waste is double-bagged, labelled and transported to EPA-licensed facilities with full waste tracking documentation supplied to you.
Clearance & re-roofing prep
We leave the structure clean and ready for your roofer. Where required we coordinate with hygienists to confirm clearance for re-roofing work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove an asbestos roof myself?
DIY removal is strongly discouraged. Roof work involves working at heights and handling asbestos materials that can release fibres when disturbed. Licensed removalists have the training, PPE, containment and waste-handling processes to keep everyone safe.
What is a wet-method removal?
Wet-method removal means keeping asbestos-containing sheets damp during dismantling to suppress airborne fibres. Sheets are handled carefully to avoid breakage, then double-bagged and labelled for transport to licensed disposal facilities.
How do you protect surrounding areas and people?
We establish exclusion zones, use drop sheets and tarps, control access, set up fall protection and, where necessary, use air-control measures. Our team follows Safe Work Australia guidance and uses appropriate PPE on every job.
Will I get documentation after the job?
Yes. We provide full waste tracking and disposal documentation from EPA-licensed facilities. If post-removal air monitoring or a hygiene clearance is required, we can coordinate that with an independent hygienist.
