Why sheds are tricky
Garage and shed roofing is on the Better Health Channel list of common asbestos locations, and walls are often sheeted in the same material. Old sheds are also in poor shape, so sheets crack easily.
Read the Victorian home asbestos guidanceNever demolish an old shed with a machine. In March 2023, WorkSafe Victoria reported a demolition company was fined $25,500 plus $3,999 in costs after asbestos sheeting at a Watsonia North home was loaded into a skip with an excavator.

Roof only, or the whole structure
Some owners want the roof replaced and the frame kept. Others want the whole shed gone. We quote both. Roof-only work starts from $1,200 for a shed or carport, and a single garage roof is $2,500–$3,500.

Rules and disposal
Notification and clearance follow Victorian rules, and waste goes only to an EPA Victoria-authorised facility, recorded in Waste Tracker. Victorian rules differ for private householders and businesses. For any renovation involving asbestos, use a WorkSafe Victoria-licensed removalist.
Combine with a fence or eaves job to need only one clearance visit.
