Asbestos Roof Removal Service

Taking down an asbestos roof involves several steps to guarantee the effective, safe removal of the asbestos materials. First, we send a qualified surveyor to review the roofing to decide whether it contains asbestos.

If the roofing has asbestos, our qualified removal team will take it down and dispose of the asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) accordingly.

We carefully remove the roof with tools and techniques that minimise the spread of asbestos fibres.

The removed roofing is placed in asbestos waste bags and taken to a hazardous waste facility.

Homeowners should refrain from performing asbestos removal as it is a hazardous task requiring expertise and professional equipment.

Unqualified persons may disturb asbestos materials and release the fibres into the air. At AJC, we use specialised equipment to remove the slates and safely dispose of them in a hazardous waste facility.

Because asbestos fibres are so tiny, people rarely realise they have inhaled asbestos until it is too late. Diseases caused by breathing in asbestos fibres include mesothelioma, a cancer almost always caused by breathing in the fibres, lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural thickening, and laryngeal cancer.

Even builders and roofers may not know if roofing materials contain asbestos unless they have completed asbestos awareness training. It is better to be safe than sorry, and we recommend an asbestos survey and sampling analysis before beginning work on an older roof.
