Asbestos roofs in Perth
Corrugated asbestos cement roofing was used on Perth homes, garages, carports, patios and sheds for decades. Older roofs become brittle, grow moss and crack, and they're dangerous to walk on or pressure clean.
Why use a licensed removalist
Roofs are almost always well over the 10 m² homeowner limit, so WA law requires a licensed removalist. The job also involves working at heights, keeping sheets intact and controlling dust.
What's involved
The area is set up and sealed, sheets are wetted and removed whole, wrapped and disposed of at an approved facility. The roof frame is then ready for new Colorbond or tiles.
Asbestos roof removal cost
The price depends on the roof area, its height and pitch, access for the truck, and the condition of the sheets. A shed or garage is a much smaller job than a full house roof. You get a fixed, written quote before anything starts.
