Asbestos Roof Replacement and Removal
Asbestos roofs across the Sunshine Coast can pose health risks as our unique coastal climate accelerates their deterioration. Professional Roof Repairs Sunshine Coast takes this danger seriously in our asbestos roof replacement services.
Your safety is our priority in these kinds of operations. Our seasoned and licensed asbestos removal team will replace your hazardous old roof with a safe and durable alternative without compromising the air you breathe.
The Hidden Dangers of Asbestos Roofing
Asbestos was once considered a miracle building material, but we now know better.
Many homes built before 1990 across the Sunshine Coast region have roofing made with asbestos cement. These materials age faster due to the coastal salt air and intense Queensland sun.
As they deteriorate, they become friable – meaning they can easily crumble and release hazardous asbestos fibres that cause serious respiratory conditions and cancers like mesothelioma.
Signs that your asbestos roof needs replacing include:
- Holes, cracks, and frayed edges
- Flaking or powdery surfaces
- Moss or lichen growth
Given the risks associated with such roofing materials, only licensed contractors should handle their removal and replacement.

Our Safe and Efficient Asbestos Roof Removal Process
Initial Assessment and Testing
We begin with a comprehensive site inspection to confirm the presence of asbestos. If needed, samples are collected for laboratory testing to determine the exact type of asbestos present.
Our asbestos removal specialists will then develop a tailored plan specific to your property.
Site Preparation and Safety Measures
Before any removal work begins, we establish an exclusion zone around your property. We implement strict contamination control measures, including specialised barriers, negative air pressure systems, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for our team.
Careful Removal Techniques
We apply specialised binding agents to prevent fibre release as we carefully remove asbestos roof sheets. All materials containing asbestos are then immediately sealed in industrial-grade waste bags.
Professional Disposal
We transport all asbestos waste using licensed vehicles to approved disposal facilities. You’ll receive official disposal certificates for your records – essential for future property sales.
We conduct thorough site decontamination and clearance testing before declaring the area safe.
