Asbestos Roof Replacement
We work with old metal, tiles and asbestos roofs.

Rules for asbestos removal
Removing an asbestos-cement roof is regulated work in Tasmania. WorkSafe Tasmania publishes the rules and guidance that apply to it.
Fitting the new roof
The new roof is fitted in the same way as any re-roof. The frame is checked and repaired where needed, sarking or insulation goes down, and the new roof is fixed. New flashings, ridge capping, gutters and downpipes are fitted with it.
Metal sheeting is a common replacement. It is lighter than most roof coverings and comes in a range of profiles and colours.
