Asbestos Roof Removal in Melbourne
Corrugated cement roofing is one of the most serious asbestos jobs on a house. We remove sheets, gutters and ridge capping safely at height, and pack them for licensed disposal.

Shed or carport asbestos roof removal in Melbourne is from $1,200 and a single garage roof is usually $2,500–$3,500. Full house roofs are from $55 per m². The work combines working at height with weathered asbestos cement, so it needs a licensed removalist, scaffolding and edge protection.

Why weathered roofs need care
Corrugated cement roofing is on the Better Health Channel list of common asbestos locations, and so are garage and shed roofs. Decades of sun and rain break down the cement binder, which can expose fibres that wash into gutters and soil.
A full assessment covers the sheeting, gutters, downpipes and ridge capping. If you are unsure what the roof is made of, testing confirms it before quoting. All waste is taken to an EPA Victoria-authorised facility, as explained on our disposal page.
Eaves often come off with the roof. Booking them together means one clearance visit. See eaves removal.

Erect scaffolding and edge protection
