What Asbestos Products are Likely to be found in Your Roof?

Asbestos was commonly used in the construction industry until the late 1990s. As such, any building constructed before 2000 is likely to contain asbestos. Asbestos cement was often used in roofing sheets, gutters, downpipes, and even the buildings wall cladding. If you feel unsure, contact us, and we will help you identify the presence of asbestos and provide the necessary services.

The Removal Process

Removing asbestos is a risky process that requires a precise and systematic approach to avoid disturbing the fibers. Here is a step by step overview of how we approach asbestos removal:

1. Preparation We start by isolating the area with plastic sheeting, creating a containment barrier. Further, we ensure no dust or debris will leave the site.
2. Disconnection We disconnect the guttering, downpipes, and other fixtures from the roof.
3. Water Down We wet the roof with water to suppress any dust that may be generated during removal.
4. Dismantling We remove the fasteners and dismantle the roof into manageable pieces, taking care not to break or damage the asbestos cement in any way.
5. Collection We collect and place the removed sheets in a marked container for disposal. We then double-check the site to ensure no asbestos fibers are present before breaking down the containment barrier.

What Must Never Be Done

It is important to know what must not be done before, during, and after the removal of asbestos roofing. Here are some important points to consider:

1. Never attempt to remove asbestos without professional training or guidance.
2. Never use power tools or abrasive materials on asbestos-containing materials.
3. Never break, drill or cut asbestos sheets.
4. Never reuse or recycle products containing asbestos.
5. Never dispose of asbestos products with general waste.
