FASCIA COVER | low-maintenance finish:

Complete your roof’s transformation with Colorbond® fascia covers, built to handle the harsh South Australian sun. They permanently shield your timber from rot and pests while eliminating the need for painting. A seamless, low-maintenance finish that ties your entire roof together.

INSULATION BLANKET

Maximise your new roof’s performance with a foil-faced insulation blanket that works year-round. It cuts energy costs by up to 30%, reduces rain noise by up to 50%, and adds BAL-rated fire protection. One layer that makes your home quieter, safer, and more energy efficient.

SOLAR ROOF VENTILATION

Once your roof space hits 28°C, our self-powered, thermostat-controlled system automatically expels trapped heat. Solar-powered ventilation creates a thermal buffer that stops heat radiating into your living areas before it starts. Lower cooling bills and better AC performance, with zero running costs.

Why Choose a Colorbond® Metal Roof Over Asbestos?

LOW MAINTENANCE

Maintaining your new COLORBOND® steel roof is simple. Regular washing with fresh water prolongs its life and maintains its premium appearance. In Adelaide, natural rainwater usually handles this, ensuring a low-maintenance care routine that protects your asset for years.

LESS STRESS ON YOUR HOME'S STRUCTURE

Replacing heavy asbestos with lightweight metal significantly reduces structural stress. While asbestos sheeting weighs up  to 25–30kg/m², COLORBOND® is just 5–7kg/m². This massive weight reduction removes unnecessary strain from your home’s frame, ensuring long-term stability and safety.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Unlike heavy, heat-retaining asbestos, metal roofing reflects up to 90% of solar energy. This keeps your home significantly cooler in summer, reducing air conditioning costs. Combined with modern insulation and solar ventilation, it creates a powerful year-round thermal barrier.

RESISTANCE TO PESTS

Old, brittle roofs often provide easy entry points for rodents and insects to nest. Metal roofing offers a tightly sealed, seamless surface that blocks these access points. This prevents pests from entering your roof cavity, protecting your home from damage.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Replacing asbestos with COLORBOND® steel is a sustainable, eco-friendly decision. Its extreme durability reduces the need for future replacements, and the material is 100% recyclable. By choosing locally-made steel, you support a circular economy and minimize your environmental footprint.

INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE

Removing hazardous asbestos and installing a modern metal roof is a high-yield investment. It can increase your property’s value by up to 20%, offering a strong return on investment through improved street appeal, modern aesthetics, and long-term structural durability.

FIRE RESISTANCE

COLORBOND® steel is non-combustible and provides vital protection against ember attacks. For maximum bushfire safety, we install compliant blanket insulation as a critical complement. This system prevents ignition in the roof cavity, offering peace of mind for families in South Australia.

SUPERIOR SECURITY

Large, continuous steel sheets and tamper-proof fasteners make forced entry nearly impossible without specialized tools and significant noise. Unlike tiled or old asbestos roofs, the inherent strength of metal acts as a powerful visual deterrent, keeping your family well-protected.

Asbestos to Metal roof replacements Top FAQs

Can't find what you're looking for?

Is asbestos roof removal safe?

Yes, when carried out by licensed professionals. Roof & Render SA is fully licensed (EPA & SafeWork SA) and follows the strictest regulations for the safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials. Our controlled process is designed to protect your family, your neighbours, and the environment, ensuring full legal compliance from start to finish.

Do you handle both removal and installation in one process?

Yes. Roof & Render SA is fully licensed to remove and replace asbestos roofing in-house. Because we do not outsource this work, we maintain absolute control over safety, scheduling, and quality which results in a faster, more seamless process for you.

Safety & Compliance: In South Australia, asbestos removal is strictly regulated by SafeWork SA and the EPA. To guarantee the safety of your family and the community, we manage the entire compliance process:

  • Notifications: We notify SafeWork SA at least five days before work begins.
  • Community Safety: We inform your neighbours and set up secure site barriers and signage.
  • Air Monitoring: We engage independent licensed assessors to conduct daily air monitoring, ensuring no fibres escape the work zone.
  • Clearance: Once complete, an independent assessor provides a Clearance Certificate, confirming your home is 100% safe to reoccupy.
How long does an asbestos roof replacement take?

Most residential asbestos roof replacements are completed within 3 to 5 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

While the removal phase is highly regulated and requires more time than a standard roof removal, our process is designed for maximum efficiency:

  • Careful Staging: We work in sections to ensure your home remains watertight at all times, your property is never left exposed to the elements.
  • Expert Transition: Once the asbestos is safely removed and the site is cleared, we move immediately into the installation of your new COLORBOND® steel.
  • Safety First: Our expertise ensures that while we follow every strict safety regulation, we still minimise disruption to your daily life.
