Asbestos Removal

The pernicious risks associated with asbestos products have been widely recognised for several years due to their potential to induce life-threatening conditions, including asbestosis and lung cancer. If an asbestos roof remains in sound condition and undisturbed, the likelihood of it posing harm to household occupants is minimal. However, as time wears on and the asbestos ages, starts to deteriorate, or suffers damage from external factors like storms or falling objects, its fibres are released into the atmosphere, setting the stage for severe health issues.

Can You Repair an Asbestos Roof?

While an asbestos roof can be cosmetically painted, provided strict guidelines are followed, when an asbestos roof commences deterioration, replacement is typically the sole viable recourse. As soon as an asbestos roof begins to exhibit leaks or cracks, expeditious replacement becomes imperative. At this juncture, the potential for water infiltration, causing damage to your home and valuable possessions, escalates significantly. Moreover, there is an elevated risk of exposure to hazardous asbestos fibres in the air, putting you and your loved ones in jeopardy.
