Professional Asbestos Roof Removal and Replacement

Asbestos was once used in the manufacture of over 3,000 products, largely building products including roofing materials. Asbestos roofing is very common in older properties on the Sunshine Coast and throughout Australia. If your property was built prior to 1990, it could still contain this potentially dangerous material.

Whilst intact, bonded asbestos cement is quite safe. However, with age and weather damage, the asbestos can start to break down and shed harmful fibres. This can not only affect your health, but also the value of your home. Potential property buyers tend to shun asbestos-clad homes or argue a substantial drop in price.

If you suspect that there is asbestos in your roof or anywhere else on your property, we can make it safe. Do not delay, if you have any suspicions that asbestos may be present on your roof or in your gutters contact Stormguard Roofing.

We have been providing asbestos sheet removal on the Sunshine Coast for over 10 years and will be happy to provide you with a professional inspection.

Where Was Asbestos Commonly Used?

Asbestos was commonly used as roofing material in Australia until the 1980s. The most common form was a corrugated fibrocement sheet product manufactured by James Hardie Ltd called ‘Super Six’.

Corrugated asbestos roofing is easy to spot. It is thicker than corrugated iron, has a dull lacklustre appearance and weathers heavily over time.

The greater the weathering, the greater the risk of deterioration with potentially dangerous implications. Weathering causes asbestos roofs to become friable and disintegrate. Asbestos fibres accumulate in gutters and then blow away in a strong wind.

To make matters worse, asbestos roofing contains a higher concentration of asbestos than other types of fibrocement building materials, and it contains all three major types of asbestos—crocidolite (blue asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos) and chrysotile (white asbestos)—to make the roofing more durable.

Choose the Right Asbestos Removal Team

We have been removing asbestos roofing materials for over 10 years. It is a specialist area — not all asbestos removalists are equally knowledgeable or experienced in this niche trade. When you choose us, you are choosing a team of dedicated, expert professionals.

To remain legally compliant and be confident that all asbestos is removed, you need to find a team with the right qualifications and experience.

Asbestos in roofing and other building materials is usually found in one of two forms: friable or non-friable. Inhaling either can, over time, lead to dangerous lung diseases. As a result, asbestos removal is tightly regulated and rightly so. Separate licences are required to tackle each type. At Stormguard Roofing, our QBCC licenced roofers are qualified to remove both friable and non-friable asbestos.

Asbestos was commonly used to manufacture cement roof tiles, corrugated cement sheets and cement gutters and downpipes. Sunshine Coast residents can trust Stormguard Roofing to remove all forms of roofing materials containing asbestos.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I think there is asbestos in my home?

Only a licensed professional has the experience and training to safely remove asbestos. If you think you may have asbestos in your home or business, it’s important to contact your local specialist ASAP for removal services. You should avoid any contact with dangerous asbestos materials, as well as take every precaution not to damage it.
Where is asbestos commonly found?

Asbestos is often found in insulation, flooring, shingles, siding and pipe coverings.
How often should I have my home inspected for asbestos?

If your home or commercial building was built before 1990, it could contain asbestos and therefore requires an inspection. You should also book one before any home renovations or maintenance work that could expose residents to the material.
