Eaves & Shed Asbestos Roof Removal

Safe, Professional Asbestos Removal for Shed Roofs and Eaves Across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane & Surrounding Areas

What is Asbestos Shed Roof & Eaves Removal?

Asbestos barn roof and eaves removal is the process of safely extracting asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from the roofs and eaves of barns, sheds, and other agricultural structures. Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral once prized for its heat resistance and durability, was commonly used in construction materials before the 1980s, particularly in rural and agricultural buildings. However, asbestos is now known to be highly hazardous to human health.

Why It’s Important:

Asbestos fibers, when airborne, can be inhaled, leading to severe health conditions such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Removing the asbestos from barn roofs and eaves is crucial to ensuring a safe environment for you, your family, and your animals, while also preserving the structural integrity of your barn.

Signs Your Barn Roof or Eaves May Contain Asbestos

One of the most common types of asbestos roofing materials used in barns and outbuildings is corrugated fibro cement sheets. These sheets often show visible signs of aging and deterioration, which can be key indicators that asbestos is present:

  • Cracking
  • Discoloration
  • Weathered Surface
  • Flaky or Crumbly Material
  • Loose or Dislodged Material

Deteriorating asbestos-containing materials should be addressed immediately. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to call a licensed professional to inspect the property and remove the asbestos safely.

How We Remove Asbestos from Barn Roofs & Eaves

Step 1: Initial Inspection & Assessment

The first step in any asbestos removal project is a comprehensive inspection of your barn roof and eaves. We start by assessing the entire structure to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). During the inspection, our certified experts carefully evaluate the condition of the roof and eaves, noting areas that are damaged or deteriorating.

Step 2: Safe Containment

Once we’ve confirmed the presence of asbestos, the next crucial step is to establish a safe work environment. We take extra precautions to prevent the spread of harmful asbestos fibres during the removal process. Our team will seal off the affected areas, including covering nearby surfaces and windows to prevent contamination.

Step 3: Asbestos Removal from Roof & Eaves

The core of the process is the asbestos removal itself, where our experienced technicians carefully remove asbestos materials from your barn roof and eaves. We use wetting methods to saturate asbestos-containing materials, which helps prevent fibres from becoming airborne and ensures they can be safely removed.

Step 4: Disposal of Asbestos Materials

Once the asbestos roofing and eaves have been safely removed, the next step is the proper disposal of the asbestos waste. We take all necessary precautions to ensure that asbestos-containing materials are packaged securely and transported to a certified disposal facility that meets local environmental regulations.

Step 5: Roof Replacement

In many cases, homeowners require not just asbestos removal, but also a new roof. If you need to replace your barn’s roof or eaves, we can help with that as well. Once the asbestos materials are safely removed, we offer high-quality roof replacements using modern, durable materials like Colorbond or Zincalume that are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of agricultural buildings.

Step 5: Final Clean-Up and Inspection

After the asbestos removal and any necessary replacements are completed, we conduct a thorough clean-up of the worksite. This includes removing all debris, vacuuming with specialized equipment, and decontaminating the area to ensure no residual asbestos remains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until the late 1980s. If your barn was built before this time, there’s a high chance that the roof or eaves could contain asbestos. However, asbestos materials can be difficult to identify just by appearance alone, especially since they can still be intact but dangerous over time.

The only reliable way to confirm whether your barn roof or eaves contain asbestos is through a professional inspection and testing. Our trained and certified specialists are experienced in identifying and handling asbestos-containing materials. During the inspection, we will assess the condition of your roof and eaves, and if necessary, take samples to send for testing in a certified laboratory. This ensures that we provide accurate information about the risks involved.

If you suspect that your barn may have asbestos but are unsure, it’s essential to get a professional asbestos inspection to ensure the safety of your property and loved ones.

The cost of asbestos barn roof and eaves removal varies depending on several factors, including the size of the barn, the extent of the asbestos materials, and the condition of the roofing and eaves. For example, a small barn with minimal asbestos contamination will generally cost less than a larger barn with extensive asbestos issues.

At Adios Roofing, we believe in transparent, competitive pricing. Our goal is to make the asbestos removal process as affordable as possible while ensuring the highest safety standards. After conducting a thorough on-site inspection, we will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote that outlines all the costs involved, so there are no surprises.

In the quote, we’ll break down the cost for asbestos removal, disposal, and any potential roof replacement or repairs you may require. Our team will work closely with you to ensure the process fits within your budget while prioritizing safety and compliance with all legal regulations.

The timeline for asbestos barn roof and eaves removal depends on the size of the barn, the extent of the asbestos contamination, and the complexity of the removal process. On average, asbestos removal can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days.

Here’s an overview of what to expect:

  • Small Barns or Sheds: If your barn is smaller with only minor asbestos contamination, the removal process may be completed in a day.
  • Larger Barns with Extensive Asbestos: For larger barns or those with significant asbestos damage, the removal process may take a couple of days. Our team will carefully assess the site and work as efficiently as possible, ensuring minimal disruption to your activities.

We prioritize safety during every step of the process, which is why we take extra care to ensure that all asbestos-containing materials are removed, disposed of safely, and that the area is left clean and hazard-free.

During the removal, we will keep you informed of the progress and let you know exactly when the work will be completed. Our goal is to perform the job efficiently without cutting corners, while ensuring complete safety for everyone involved.

For your health and safety, we strongly advise not staying in the barn during the asbestos removal process. Asbestos fibres are hazardous when disturbed, and while our team follows strict safety protocols, it’s essential to limit exposure to potentially harmful airborne particles.

Here’s why staying out of the barn during the removal is critical:

  • Asbestos Fiber Containment: During the removal process, our team will take extensive measures to seal off the work area. This includes creating a containment zone around the affected areas of the barn using plastic sheeting and barriers. However, even with these precautions, there is a small risk of airborne fibres, which is why we recommend vacating the premises until the work is complete.
  • Protective Equipment: Our team wears personal protective equipment (PPE) such as full-body suits, respirators, and gloves to ensure their safety during the removal. While we take every measure to contain the material and prevent exposure, it’s still safest for you to stay away from the area.
  • Area Isolation: In addition to sealing the work area, we use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums and wetting methods as we don’t want to release asbestos fibres, and want to keep it to a minumum. Once all asbestos materials are safely removed and disposed of, the area will be cleaned and inspected to ensure that no harmful fibres remain.
  • Air Quality Testing: After the removal, we will conduct air quality tests to confirm that the barn is safe to re-enter. Only after certified testing confirms that asbestos fibres are below safe levels will we allow you back into the barn.

Alternative Options:

During the asbestos removal, it’s safest to stay in a different building on your property or elsewhere. For your peace of mind, our team will ensure that the area is fully contained and monitored until the completion of the work. We will also keep you updated on the progress and notify you when it’s safe to return to the barn.
