Why an aging asbestos roof is worth replacing
It gets brittle with age
Decades of Adelaide sun make bonded cement sheeting brittle. Cracked and weathered sheets are more likely to shed fibres, which is the whole risk with asbestos.
It cannot be safely worked on
You cannot walk it, drill it or cut it without releasing fibres, so leaks and repairs on an asbestos roof are a problem in a way a tile or steel roof is not.
It weighs on resale
Buyers and building inspectors flag an asbestos roof. Replacing it removes a known negative and modernises the house in one move.
No insulation, no warranty
These old roofs have no sarking, no insulation and no warranty. A new Colorbond roof brings all three.
The problem only grows
Weathering does not reverse. Every year the sheeting degrades further and the eventual removal does not get any cheaper.
One project, done properly
Removal and re-roof handled together means the house is never left exposed and the whole job is to the rules and to spec.
How an asbestos roof replacement is done safely
1. Confirm and plan
We inspect and, where it matters, recommend a lab-tested sample. A SafeWork SA licensed removalist is engaged and the removal is notified before any sheeting is touched.
2. Licensed removal
Sheets are kept wet, removed intact where possible, wrapped and sealed, and taken to a licensed disposal facility. Controlled, documented, to the regulations.
3. Re-roof in Colorbond
With the old roof gone we install new sarking, battens where needed, insulation and a genuine BlueScope Colorbond roof with a manufacturer warranty.
Done to the regulations, not around them
Bonded asbestos is safe while it is intact and dangerous when it is broken up. That is the whole reason removal is licensed work. On every job the removal and disposal is carried out by a SafeWork SA licensed asbestos removalist, notified in advance and disposed of at a licensed facility, and we handle the new roof as a licensed builder once the site is clear.
We are roofers and a licensed builder, not licensed asbestos assessors or a regulator. The above is practical guidance on how these projects run, not legal or work-health-and-safety advice. For confirmation that a material contains asbestos, use a NATA-accredited lab test, and for the current legal requirements as they apply to your property, SafeWork SA is the authority to check with.
Frequently asked questions
If the house was built or re-roofed before the late 1980s and has grey corrugated cement sheeting, often the Super Six profile, there is a real chance it contains asbestos. You cannot tell for certain by looking. The only way to confirm it is a sample tested by a NATA-accredited lab. We are roofers, not licensed asbestos assessors, so for anything more than a visual opinion we recommend a tested sample before work is planned.
