Asbestos Roof Replacement Toowoomba

At AMJ Metal Roofing, we don’t just straight dive in! We follow a careful, step-by-step process to ensure your asbestos roof replacement is smooth, safe, and stress-free. Here’s how we get the job done:

Risk Assessment & Roof Evaluation

We start by conducting a thorough risk assessment, during which we evaluate your roof to identify any asbestos materials and assess the overall condition of the structure. This gives us a clear game plan on how to safely remove the asbestos and what repairs or replacements might be necessary.

Asbestos Roofing Removal

With all safety precautions in place, we carefully remove the asbestos roofing. Our team follows strict regulations to handle asbestos safely, ensuring that everyone (your family, our workers, and your neighbours) remains safe during the process.

Review Damages & Plan Fixes

Once the old roof is off, we inspect the structure underneath to check for any hidden damage. If we spot any issues, we’ll make a plan to fix them before moving on to installing your new roof!

Installation of New Metal Sheeting, Guttering & Downpipes

Out with the old, in with the new! We install high-quality metal sheeting, which is built to last in Toowoomba’s conditions, and we upgrade your guttering and downpipes to ensure the whole system works seamlessly together, keeping your home watertight and looking sharp.

Delaying the replacement of your asbestos roof can lead to a few headaches. For one, asbestos can become brittle and break down over time, especially with exposure to the elements. When this happens, asbestos fibres can be released into the air, and that’s where it gets dangerous. Breathing in these fibres can lead to serious health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. So, delaying the inevitable only increases the risk for everyone in the home.

Beyond the health concerns, an old asbestos roof can affect the structural integrity of your home. As it deteriorates, leaks can start popping up, which can lead to water damage, mould growth, and even structural rot. These are costly repairs that could have been avoided by tackling the asbestos problem earlier. Not to mention, it might make selling your home more challenging down the track, as most buyers steer clear of properties with asbestos, and rightly so!

Not sure if your roof contains asbestos? It’s tricky to tell just by looking at it, but there are a few clues. If your home was built before the mid-1980s, there’s a good chance asbestos was used in the roof, as it was a popular building material back then. Even homes built up until the late ‘80s and early ‘90s could still have asbestos, as stocks were used up before being completely banned.

The safest way to know for sure is to have a professional inspection. At AMJ Metal Roofing, we can test a sample from your roof and confirm whether or not asbestos is present. Trust us, it’s worth finding out. After all, knowing is the first step toward making your home safer!
