Flat sheets under the roof overhang were often made with asbestos in older

homes. We remove eaves sheeting for the whole house or one side, with

whole-house jobs usually $1,650–$4,400 depending on length and height.

Guide only. We confirm your fixed price in writing after a free on-site quote.

Prices include GST.

Eaves get disturbed more than people expect: new downpipes, solar cables,

gutter guards, a possum hole. Before anyone drills or cuts up there, find out

what the sheeting is.

What makes an eaves job harder

  • Two-storey runs that need scaffold or a lift

  • Battens and timber trims that must come off first

  • Gutters that need to be removed and refitted

  • Sheets that have been painted many times and are brittle

Replacing them afterwards

Once the old sheets are gone and the area is cleared,

any carpenter can fit new non-asbestos lining.

We leave the battens clean and ready so that next step is simple.

Questions locals ask us

Can I stay home while cladding comes off?

Often yes, when the work is outside and bonded.

We seal the windows and doors on that side,

fence off the work zone and keep the sheets damp so they come off whole.

If the job is inside, or the material is friable,

we will tell you at the quote that it is better to be out for the day and when

you can come back.

Will my neighbours be told?

Yes. We give your neighbours notice before licensed removal starts, with the

dates and what to expect. Most people just want to know when to close their

windows and where the trucks will park.

What if more asbestos turns up mid-job?

We stop that part of the work, show you what we found and give you a written

price for it before going further. Nothing extra is added to your bill without

your yes. Older homes do hide sheeting behind newer linings, which is why the

quote lists exactly what is included.

Can I just paint over eaves sheeting?

Painting sheets in good condition is generally fine,

as long as there is no sanding, scraping or pressure-washing.

If you are about to drill, cut or remove them, get them tested first.

Can I remove it myself?

The law lets a person without a licence remove up to 10 m² of bonded asbestos in

total for the job. SafeWork NSW still recommends a licensed removalist for any

amount, and homeowners must never remove friable asbestos.

If you do go ahead with a small bonded piece,

it cannot go in your bin or a council clean-up.

Do I get disposal receipts?

Yes. Every load goes to a licensed facility and you get the paperwork.

Loads of 100 kg or 10 m² and over are also tracked through the NSW EPA's

Integrated Waste Tracking Solution, so there is a record from your driveway to

the gate.
