Asbestos roof removal in Geelong

Old corrugated cement roofs are common on garages, sheds and some homes around Geelong. As they age, they can become brittle and weathered, and you should never walk on or water-blast them.

Removal and replacement

Many people coordinate removal with re-roofing so the building isn't left open. Some removalists can recommend roofers, or you can ask your roofer to work with a removalist of your choice.

Working at height means safety equipment such as scaffolding or edge protection may be required.
Gutters and nearby areas may also need cleaning of debris.
The clearance inspection should cover the roof area and surrounds.

Frequently asked questions

Can an asbestos roof be painted or sealed instead?

Encapsulation is sometimes possible for roofs in reasonable condition, but surface preparation must not disturb fibres. Ask a licensed professional whether it suits your roof.
