roof with asbestos
Licensed, wet‑method asbestos roof removal and re‑roofing preparation for homeowners across Australia.
If you’ve found a roof with asbestos on your property, getting it removed safely and legally is essential. C&A Asbestos Removal provides direct, professional service — free quotes, clear communication and EPA‑compliant disposal.
Licensed removal, wet methods, containment zones and full disposal paperwork.
Why a roof with asbestos is a health and legal issue
Asbestos cement roof sheeting (commonly called fibro, corrugated cement or fibrous cement) was widely used in Australia until the late 1980s. When intact and undisturbed it poses limited risk, but any cutting, drilling, demolition or weathered deterioration can release microscopic fibres that cause long‑term respiratory illnesses.
State and territory workplace and environmental regulations require licensed removal for many asbestos roof jobs — and EPA‑approved disposal. C&A Asbestos Removal follows Safe Work Australia's Code of Practice and manages every step so homeowners are safe and compliant.
We offer same‑day phone support, on‑site inspection and free quotes for typical residential asbestos roofs — and we work closely with your roofer to prepare the structure for re‑roofing.
Common asbestos roof types we remove
We remove asbestos roofing across a variety of residential roof types — each has its own safe removal method.
Corrugated fibro roofs
Corrugated cement sheets commonly used on older houses and outbuildings. We remove panels using wet methods and controlled disassembly.
Sheeted hip and valley roofs
Larger sheet systems over complex roofs — we plan safe lifts and temporary supports and coordinate with your roofer for re‑roofing prep.
Eaves, flashings & ridges
Smaller components and flashings can contain asbestos. We remove and dispose of these parts carefully to avoid fibre release.
How licensed asbestos roof removal works
Free inspection and quote
We inspect the roof to confirm material type, condition and access. You receive a clear, written scope and no‑obligation price for removal and disposal.
Risk assessment & controls
We prepare a risk assessment and control plan including scaffold or elevated work platforms, exclusion zones and PPE requirements tailored to your roof.
Wet-method removal & containment
We suppress dust with wetting agents, remove sheets systematically, double‑bag waste on site and maintain containment to prevent fibre spread.
Licensed transport & EPA disposal
Waste is transported in accordance with regulations to EPA‑licensed facilities. You receive disposal dockets and a job completion report for records.
Preparing your roof for re‑roofing
After asbestos sheeting is removed, the underlying battens, underlay and structural timbers may need inspection and repair before new roofing is installed. C&A coordinates with your chosen roofer to ensure a smooth handover.
- We clear and clean the work area so roofers have safe access.
- Damage to battens or flashing is documented and we can recommend reputable roofers.
- We provide disposal dockets that your builder will need for compliance and warranties.
Our aim is to leave the roof structure clear and ready, saving you time and preventing delays to your re‑roofing project.
Licensed disposal and paperwork you can trust
C&A transports asbestos waste only to EPA‑licensed facilities and provides chain‑of‑custody documentation so you have proof the material was disposed of correctly.
Disposal dockets
Full EPA dockets provided at completion for your records and any future sale or renovation paperwork.
Licensed transport
Waste is loaded and transported by licensed carriers to EPA‑approved facilities only.
Compliance & reports
You get a job completion report confirming methods used, controls in place and disposal details — useful for council, insurer or buyer queries.
How much does asbestos roof removal cost?
Costs vary depending on roof area, access, roof height and condition. After an inspection we provide a clear fixed price — no hidden fees for disposal dockets or travel within our service area.
Free quotes and local service across Australia. You deal directly with our team — no call centres.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if my roof contains asbestos?
We assess the roof visually during the free inspection and, if required, can arrange an asbestos sample test. Many pre‑1990 corrugated and sheet roofs are asbestos cement but condition and composition vary.
Can you remove the roof myself to save costs?
DIY removal is strongly discouraged and may be illegal depending on your state/territory and the amount of asbestos. Licensed removal ensures legal compliance, correct PPE, containment and safe disposal to EPA‑approved facilities.
Will removal delay my re‑roofing project?
We coordinate with your roofer and aim to complete removal and leave the structure ready for immediate re‑roofing. Good planning minimises downtime — talk to us about scheduling before purchasing new roofing materials.
Do you provide disposal documentation?
Yes. After removal we provide EPA disposal dockets and a job completion report confirming the method and disposal location. This documentation is important for insurance, sale or council queries.
