Eaves & Shed Asbestos Roof Removal

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.

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.
