Corrugated cement roofing is on the Better Health Channel list of common Victorian asbestos locations, and garage and shed roofing is listed separately.
Read the Victorian home asbestos guidanceWhy height safety affects price
Removing roof sheeting combines working at height with handling old asbestos cement. Scaffolding or edge protection, steep pitches and second storeys all add set-up and slower, careful work.
That is the main reason two similar-sized roofs can be quoted differently.
Weathered sheets, gutters and extras
Weathered sheets are handled slowly, kept wet and wrapped before transport to an EPA Victoria-authorised facility. Gutters, downpipes and ridge capping may also contain asbestos and are best priced into the same visit.
If eaves are coming off too, book them together. One clearance inspection can cover both. Replacement roofing is a separate trade and a separate figure, and our roof removal page explains the method.
