Key Points

Watch the episode below to find out about :

• Asbestos facts,
• What you need to know about an asbestos roof replacement, and
• The importance of finding out who will be conducting your asbestos removal.

It's a naturally occurring mineral with extremely durable, re and chemical resistant microscopic bres. If you live in Queensland in a home built before 1990, there is a high chance that your property has some asbestos sheeting. Before the health risks were known, asbestos was thought of as a great material to use due to it's strength, durability and heat resistance.

Do I need to replace my asbestos roof?

If in good condition and left untouched, an asbestos roof is considered a negligible risk to homeowners. If the material has deteriorated (cracked, etc) however, asbestos roof removal may required.

Can anyone replace my asbestos roof?

For removal of asbestos roof sheeting, a Class B Asbestos Removal License is required. For peace of mind we recommend checking who will be removing your asbestos roof and whether they have the appropriate licensing.

Vantage Point Roofing believes that asbestos removal should be done thoroughly and safely. For this reason we utilise a third-party specialist company to remove all the asbestos and engage an independent hygienist to inspect and sign off on your roof being 100% asbestos free.
