Roof

Removing abestos sheeting

If you have an asbestos roof, it's important to have it removed by a professional asbestos removal contractor who has experience with this type of work. The removal process is not as simple as ripping off the old roofing sheets and replacing them with new ones, and it's important to take the necessary precautions to avoid releasing asbestos fibres into the air, where they can be inhaled by anyone in the vicinity.

Professional roof removal services

The first step in removing an asbestos roof is to have the area tested for asbestos fibres. As a professional asbestos testing company, Irwin Asbestos can inspect your roof for asbestos. If asbestos is found, the next step is to make plans to have the roof removed. Our qualified team has experience with all types of asbestos roof removal work from commercial to domestic asbestos roof removal. Because the removal process is not as simple as removing the old roof sheeting, it's important to implement an asbestos removal plan to avoid contaminating the air, surrounding the building where they can harm people and animals within the vicinity.

Asbestos roof removal process

If you have an asbestos roof, the best thing you can do is leave it in place and have it regularly inspected by a qualified professional. If there's any damage, they can make repairs to prevent asbestos fibres from becoming airborne.

Asbestos roof testing

The first step is to have the area tested for asbestos. If asbestos is present, you'll need to hire a certified asbestos removal contractor to do the job. The process of removing an asbestos roof is complex and should only be done by trained professionals.

Asbestos removal planning

The next step is to develop a removal plan. This plan should be designed to minimise the release of asbestos fibres into the air, which can happen if the roof is simply torn off.

Removing asbestos roof material

Once the removal plan is in place, the next step is to remove the asbestos roofing material. This must be done very carefully to avoid releasing asbestos fibres into the air. The roofing material will need to be cut into small pieces and then wrapped in heavy-duty plastic before it can be removed from the site.

Cleaning up after removal

After the asbestos roofing material has been removed, the area will need to be cleaned up. This includes vacuuming up any asbestos fibres that may have been released into the air during the removal process. Once the area has been cleaned, it should be inspected to make sure that all of the asbestos has been removed.
