ARSN specialises in safe asbestos roof removal and replacement across Sydney, removing the entire roof intact with no power tools, no high-pressure cleaning, and full encapsulation before sealed transport to an EPA-licensed facility. Asbestos roof removal Sydney typically costs $55–$95 per m² for removal-only and $130–$220 per m² removed and replaced with new Colorbond.

Top Questions
Can I just paint or seal my asbestos roof instead?
Encapsulation (sealing) is permitted in some cases but is only a temporary solution — it doesn't remove the underlying hazard, the sealant degrades within 5–10 years, and it can complicate eventual removal. For sale, renovation or peace-of-mind, full asbestos roof removal is recommended.
Do you remove asbestos roofs on garages and sheds?
Yes — small asbestos garage and shed roofs are one of our most common Sydney jobs. Same-day completion is often possible, with removal starting from around $1,800 including disposal and clearance.
Asbestos cement roofing — typically the corrugated 'Super Six' sheets installed across Sydney from the 1950s to the late 1980s — is one of the most common (and most dangerous when weathered) asbestos products still on Sydney homes, factories, garages and sheds. ARSN specialises in safe asbestos roof removal and replacement across Sydney, removing the entire roof intact with no power tools, no high-pressure cleaning, and full encapsulation before sealed transport to an EPA-licensed facility.
Weathered asbestos roofs release fibres every time it rains, hails or storms — the binding cement matrix breaks down with UV exposure, leaving fibres free to wash into your gutters, drinking water tank and soil. SafeWork NSW specifically prohibits the use of high-pressure water blasters, abrasive discs or power tools on asbestos roof sheets. ARSN removes Super Six and asbestos cement tiles by hand, screw-by-screw, with PVA encapsulation spray, edge protection harnesses, and sealed lowering to ground level.
We can replace your asbestos roof with new Colorbond, Zincalume or modern fibre cement sheeting in the same project — saving you mobilisation costs and ensuring your home is weatherproof from day one. Every roof job ends with gutter cleaning, ceiling-cavity HEPA vacuuming (where fibres may have settled), an independent clearance certificate and EPA waste manifest.
