Key Facts About Asbestos Roof Removal

• Queensland law requires licensed disposal at approved asbestos waste facilities with full tracking documentation.
• Asbestos roofing was commonly installed in Australian homes and buildings from the 1940s to late 1980s.
• If your home was built before 1990, there is a high probability your roof contains asbestos cement sheeting.
• Asbestos becomes hazardous when fibres are released into the air, typically through weathering, cracking, drilling, cutting, or removal.
• In Queensland, DIY asbestos roof removal is illegal — licensed professionals must carry out all removal works.
• Exposure to asbestos fibres is linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and chronic respiratory disease.

How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?

If your home or building was constructed before 1990, there is a strong likelihood your roof contains asbestos cement sheeting. Common indicators include:

• Corrugated cement sheeting
• Flat fibro cement panels
• Weathered or chalky surface finish

The only way to confirm asbestos is through professional sampling and laboratory testing, which Latham Projects can arrange as part of your inspection.

Is it safe to live in a house with an asbestos roof?

Yes, if the asbestos material is intact and undisturbed, it generally poses low immediate risk. However, aging, cracking, storms, renovations, or deterioration can release hazardous fibres. This is why regular inspections and proactive removal are strongly recommended.

Can I remove an asbestos roof myself?

No. DIY asbestos roof removal is illegal in Queensland. Strict safety controls, PPE, licensing, and waste tracking are legally required. Attempting DIY removal exposes you and others to serious health risks and heavy fines.
