Asbestos Roofs, Sheds & Fences in Ballarat

Why weathered outdoor asbestos comes first

Asbestos cement is at its safest when it's sealed and undisturbed. Forty years of Ballarat frost, hail and sun does the opposite. Roof sheeting and fences go brittle, the cement matrix erodes, and the surface can start releasing fibres, particularly when moss gets scrubbed off, panels crack in a storm, or someone walks on a fragile roof. If your corrugated roofing or fencing pre-dates 1990 and is showing its age, plan the removal now rather than waiting for storm damage to force it.

What we arrange

• Garage and shed roofs: corrugated AC sheeting removed whole, ready for your roofer to replace with steel, or demolition of the whole structure if it's past saving
• Whole backyard sheds and sleep-outs. Many older Ballarat sheds are asbestos walls and roof both, and full demolition with safe handling is usually simpler than part-removal
• Super six boundary fencing, removed panel by panel, including liaison where the fence is shared with a neighbour
• Dairies, outbuildings and farm structures, common right across the district from Buninyong to Creswick

How the job runs

1. Photos and measurements. Often enough for a firm quote without a site visit.
2. Removal: sheets wetted down, fixings out, panels lowered whole, never dropped or broken, then stacked and double-wrapped on site.
3. Transport to a licensed facility, with disposal documentation available for your records.
4. Ground sheets up, visual clearance done, site left clean so the next trade can start straight away.

Any roof over 10 square metres legally requires a licensed removalist in Victoria, and that's practically every roof. Every job arranged through this service is done by one. Not sure it's asbestos? Test first.
