We take asbestos roof sheeting off, wrap it and dispose of it,

with roof removal from around $2,750.

Putting a new roof on is a separate job with its own price.

We keep the two apart so you can compare roofers fairly.

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

Prices include GST.

Corrugated cement roofs were common on houses, garages and carports for decades.

Weathered sheets grow moss, crack along fixings and get brittle near gutters.

None of that means they are about to fall apart,

but it does mean nobody should walk on them or pressure-wash them.

Removal is not re-roofing

A full roof replacement has two parts: taking the old sheeting off,

and building the new roof. Removal of asbestos sheets is licensed asbestos work.

New battens, sarking, sheeting, flashings and gutters are roofing work.

Our price covers removal, wrapping, disposal and the independent clearance.

If you also want a new roof, get roofing quotes for that part separately.

You will know exactly what each dollar buys,

and the roof stays weatherproof between stages because we plan the timing with

you.

Making the roof safe while it is open

  • Edge protection and safe access before anyone climbs

  • Sheets wetted and unscrewed, lowered rather than dropped

  • Gutters cleaned of old sheet debris as part of the job

  • Temporary covering if your roofer is not starting the same day

  • Class A licences cover friable and bonded asbestos. Class B covers bonded only.

  • Licensed removalists notify SafeWork NSW 5 calendar days before removing more

    than 10 m² of bonded asbestos or any friable asbestos.

  • Clearance must be independent of the removal business and happen before the area

    is used again. Class A work needs a licensed assessor and air monitoring.

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

    Waste Tracking Solution.

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.

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.

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.

Does your price include a new roof?

No. Our price is for removal, disposal and clearance only.

New roofing is quoted by a roofer. Keeping them separate stops the asbestos part

being buried in a bigger number.

Can a cement roof be painted or sealed instead?

Sealing is sometimes used on sheets in fair condition,

but it does not remove the asbestos, and any prep that involves pressure-washing

or sanding is a bad idea. If the sheets are failing, removal is usually the

honest answer.

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.
