Asbestos Removal Sunshine Coast

If your shed was built before the 1980s, there is a high likelihood that it contains asbestos roofing materials. Asbestos was commonly used in fibro cement sheeting and other building materials during that time.

• Appearance: Asbestos roofs are often corrugated, grey or brown in colour, and have a fibrous texture.
• Damage: Signs of wear such as cracking, flaking, or discoloration can be indicators that asbestos materials are breaking down.

However, the only definitive way to confirm whether your shed contains asbestos is through professional asbestos testing. Our licensed asbestos removal specialists can inspect your roof and perform the necessary tests to determine the presence of asbestos, ensuring that the proper steps are taken to safeguard your health and your property.

The cost can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Size of the shed: Larger sheds will naturally require more time and materials for both the removal of the asbestos and the replacement process.
• Condition of the roof: If the roof is heavily damaged or deteriorating, it may require more intensive work.
• Type of replacement material: We offer a range of modern roofing materials such as Colorbond, zincalume, and other durable options, each with different price points.

We believe in transparent pricing, so we’ll provide you with a detailed, no-obligation quote after a full inspection of your shed. This ensures that there are no hidden fees, and you know exactly what to expect in terms of cost.

The timeline for replacing your asbestos shed roof can vary depending on factors like the size of the shed and the condition of the roof. On average, the entire process takes between 1 to 3 days.

• Day 1: We will begin by safely removing the asbestos roofing materials, which is the most time-sensitive and delicate part of the process.
• Day 2: After the safe removal of asbestos, we will replace the old roof with new, durable materials such as Colorbond or zincalume.
• Day 3 (if needed): Depending on the size of the shed, the final clean-up and inspection will take place, ensuring everything is up to standard.

Throughout the process, our team works efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily routine, and we aim to finish the job as quickly and safely as possible.

For your safety and the safety of others, we strongly recommend that you avoid staying in the shed during the roof replacement process.

• Asbestos removal is a hazardous procedure, and we take every precaution to ensure the area is properly sealed off to prevent any exposure to asbestos fibres.
• We will establish a contained environment around the work area, ensuring that harmful asbestos fibres do not escape into the air.
• While we are performing the roof replacement, it’s important that no one enters the work area until it is fully safe to do so.

Once the job is complete, we perform a thorough clean-up and final inspection, so you can rest assured that your shed will be safe to use once the work is done.
