Asbestos Removal Wierdapark — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Wierdapark homeowners mostly meet asbestos when they start altering the house — a solar installer refuses to drill a roof, or an extension means cutting into old eaves and ceilings.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Wierdapark QuotesWhich Wierdapark Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original suburb houses | Largely 1970s – 1980s | Eaves and soffit boards, some ceilings |
| Garages and carports | 1970s – 1980s | Corrugated roof sheeting |
| Later add-ons | 1980s – 1990s | Patio and lean-to roofs, boundary panels |
| Recent extensions | 2000s+ | None in the new work; check where it joins the old |
The risk sits at the joint between old and new: where an extension ties into an original roof or ceiling.
Solar On An Old Roof
- Brackets mean drilling. Panel mounts are fixed through the roof covering. On asbestos cement sheeting that is regulated work, and many installers will not do it.
- Weight on brittle sheets. Installers walk the roof during fitting. Old asbestos cement can crack underfoot, which is a fall risk as well as a fibre one.
- Panels last decades. Fitting new panels to a roof that will need replacing in a few years means paying to lift them off again. Re-roofing first usually works out cheaper.
Extensions And DIY
Breaking through an external wall into the eaves, opening a ceiling for new downlights or replacing fascias can all disturb asbestos boards. Before a builder starts, have the affected areas tested. If it is positive, the asbestos section is removed by a registered contractor and the builder carries on afterwards. Do not sand, drill or angle-grind suspect boards yourself.
Tell your builder and electrician what was found. Trades who unknowingly cut into asbestos expose themselves and leave contamination in the roof space.

Compare Wierdapark QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Can solar panels go on an asbestos roof?
It is possible but rarely sensible. Drilling is regulated, the sheets are brittle, and the roof will likely need replacing within the panels’ lifespan.
Should I replace the roof before the solar install?
Usually, yes. Coordinate the two quotes so the new roof is ready for the installer.
Are my eaves boards asbestos?
In a 1970s or 1980s house they may be. A laboratory test is the only reliable answer.
Can my builder remove a few boards?
Not unless they are a registered asbestos contractor. Small sections still require the regulated method and proper disposal.
