Asbestos Removal Lynnwood — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Many Lynnwood family homes had the main roof replaced years ago, but the earlier owner stopped there — and the asbestos cement on the wings, outbuildings, patio covers, flues and gutters is still in place.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.

| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Re-roofed main houses | Largely 1960s – 1970s stock | Original gutters, fascias and flue pipes left behind |
| Side wings and later bedroom extensions | 1970s – 1980s | Separate low-pitch roofs never included in the re-roof |
| Garages, staff rooms and stores | 1960s – 1980s | Corrugated sheeting, eaves boards |
| Patio and braai-area covers | 1970s – 1980s | Ribbed sheeting tied into the house wall |
The giveaway is a mismatch: a newer main roof with grey cement sheeting or gutters around it.
Re-Roofed, But Not Finished
- Budget re-roofs stopped at the main span. Wings, outbuildings and patios with their own roofs were left for later.
- Gutters and flues stayed on. New sheeting was sometimes fitted against the original asbestos cement gutters, downpipes and geyser or fireplace flues.
- Old sheets were not always taken away. Off-cuts and whole sheets turn up stacked behind the garage or buried as fill.
“The roof was replaced” is not the same as “there is no asbestos”. Buyers, builders and solar installers should not assume it — check the rest of the property first.
Tracing What Was Left Behind
Walk the property roof by roof, not house by house. Count every separate roof and note what each is covered with. Then look at the edges: gutters, fascias, downpipes and any pipe through the roof. A surveyor does the same, tests anything uncertain and writes it up as an inventory.
Finishing The Job In One Visit
The crew call-out, protective equipment, wrapping and disposal haul are paid every time a contractor comes back. Clearing the wing, garage, patio, gutters and flue together costs far less than four separate visits, and the replacement sheeting can be matched to the main roof in the same order. Book it for the dry winter months, before the summer storms.

Compare Lynnwood QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Our main roof was replaced. Can there still be asbestos?
Often, yes. Wings, outbuildings, patio covers, gutters and flues were frequently left as they were.
The seller says the roof is new. Should I still check?
Yes. Ask which roofs were replaced and have the rest inspected before the offer goes unconditional.
We found old grey sheets stacked behind the garage. What should we do?
Leave them where they are, keep people away and include them in the removal quote. Do not break them up.
Will the replaced wing roofs match the newer main roof?
They can. Ask for replacement sheeting in the main roof’s profile and colour as part of the same quote.
