Asbestos roofs consist of a material known as Asbestos cement, a blend of cement with roughly 15% Asbestos content. When hardened, it forms a rigid corrugated material commonly utilised in roofing structures for garages, sheds, and industrial facilities. These roofing types encompass three main Asbestos varieties: chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite, all of which pose dangers during removal if not handled by properly trained professionals. 

  

Identifying an Asbestos roof can be challenging, but certain indicators suggest its presence. Asbestos roofing typically appears as a grey corrugated material and lacks a 'NT' stamp. However, if uncertainty persists, reaching out to professionals, like our team at 0800 644 62 62, can provide clarity. 

  

The removal of Asbestos is hazardous due to associated health risks, including Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer, Asbestosis, and Diffuse pleural thickening. Although Asbestos roof removal carries fewer risks than other forms of Asbestos, such as pipe insulation or insulation panels, it remains critical to enlist trained experts for safe removal procedures. 

  

Asbestos roofs often deteriorate with age, necessitating professional removal services to mitigate associated risks. DC Roofing's trained experts are equipped to handle Asbestos roof removal safely and efficiently. 

  

The cost of Asbestos roof removal varies based on several factors, including the building's composition and the extent of Asbestos present. Materials like wood pose challenges for removal, while smaller areas of Asbestos may be less costly to address. Some local councils may offer assistance with removal costs for council-owned properties, contingent on location and regional policies.
