Asbestos Roof Removals Brisbane

Asbestos Roof Removal

Rooftop Restorations specializes in the safe removal and disposal of Asbestos Roofs, then replacing them with modern Colorbond and Zincalume Steel roof sheeting. Asbestos material should be repaired or removed if it is damaged, in poor condition, or could possibly be disturbed by building works.

Our procedure for removing asbestos starts with the preparation of the work method statement - an 11 page document which covers your and our obligations under the NOHSC: 2002 (2005) National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Code of Practice for the safe removal of Asbestos 2nd Edition. Safety and environment policies are in place and adhered to at all times. Click here to view more details on Asbestos Health & Safety.

Re-roofing your home increases your property’s value, ensures easy maintenance and provides an overall longer lasting result. Most importantly your roof will look fantastic, bringing your home into the 21st Century!

Asbestos Roof Removal & Re-Roof Process

Below are a set of photographs which portray the process for a particular project and should be viewed as a guide only. Individual projects can vary depending on elements that are required for example: handrails, cranes, scaffolding, removal of asbestos, tiles etc. All work carried out on this project followed all rules and regulations from the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.

1. Before – Highset Fibro roof Being a highset roof - Safety rails are erected before work begins.
2. Removal of old roof Sheeting The old fibro Sheets are safely removed and disposed of.
3. Vacuum Debris – Fibro Roofs All debris is vacuumed using a certified asbestos HEP3 vacuum cleaner from inside the roof space to ensure no asbestos fibres are left behind.
4. Cleaned and Sealed Site With fibro (asbestos) roofs like the one you see here, extra care is needed to ensure the site is clean and safe before the new roof is fitted. A sealer is sprayed over the entire ceiling space to ensure any possible remaining fibres are encapsulated.
5. Laying of the insulation blanket Insulation blankets come in 2 different thicknesses: 50mm and 75mm. This insulation both reduces noise and creates comfort inside the home.
6. Laying of new Colorbond sheeting In older style homes (like the home featured here) Zincalume® roof sheeting is commonly used to compliment the period of the home. For a more contemporary look the wide range of Colorbond® colours offer a fantastic range of choice to modernise your home. (See our Colours page to get some ideas).
7. Safety rails are removed After the roof sheeting has been laid (and optional extras like ventilators and skylights have been fitted) the safety rails are removed and the work can be inspected.
8. After – The finished project
