Everything you need to know about an Asbestos Roof Replacement

If you have an asbestos roof, replacing it is a critical step in ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials decades ago, including in roofing. However, its health risks are now well-documented, and removing asbestos roofing has become a priority for many Adelaide homeowners.

Why Replace an Asbestos Roof?

The main reason to replace an asbestos roof is the health risk. Asbestos fibres can become airborne when the material is disturbed, leading to serious respiratory issues if inhaled, including conditions like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Additionally, an asbestos-free roof can improve the overall appeal and value of your property, as many prospective buyers see asbestos as a red flag.

Is Asbestos Roof Removal Legal in Adelaide?

Yes, asbestos roof removal is legal in Adelaide, but it must be carried out in strict accordance with safety guidelines. Only licensed professionals are authorised to handle and remove asbestos materials to ensure both public and environmental safety. Attempting to remove asbestos on your own is not only dangerous but also illegal.
