Asbestos Roof Replacement
Having asbestos on your failing Gold Coast roof is a concern that should be taken seriously and addressed urgently. At Professional Roof Repairs Gold Coast, our licensed roofers specialise in asbestos roof replacements on the Gold Coast.
We will test your roof for asbestos, safely remove and dispose of the old materials, and install a new roofing material.
With a fresh roofing system expertly installed by professionals, you can once again feel protected and comfortable in your own home.
The Asbestos Risk in Old Roofing
If your home was built before the 1990s, there’s a good chance your roof contains asbestos. The material was commonly used in Australian buildings until the late 1980s.
It was hailed as a “miracle material” at the time, but proved to be hazardous when the material started to deteriorate.
Intact asbestos roofing isn’t immediately dangerous. The risk begins when the material ages, weathers, or becomes damaged, which releases dangerous airborne fibres that cause severe lung diseases.
If you suspect your roof was made with this material, it’s best to have it tested by experts right away.
Signs You Need Asbestos Roof Replacement
Here are common signs that your home needs a roof replacement:
- Roof sheets that are cracked, broken, or damaged
- Visible moss or lichen growth
- Roof leaks or water damage
- Sagging roof sections
- Corroded fixings or flashings
If your roof is over 30 years old, it’s best not to wait for visible damage before you replace your roof. Aside from risking major damage to your home, the dangerous asbestos fibres may already be in the air you’re breathing.
