Identifying and eliminating the risk of asbestos-containing materials
These are some of the asbestos-containing materials AAA Asbestos & Roofing can deal with:
Decramastic roof tiles, also known as pressed metal tiles or stone-coated steel tiles, were made by pressing a mixture of asbestos fibres and cement, replicating the appearance of traditional roofing materials such as clay tiles or shingles. If you have decramastic roof tiles for removal or are worried about their condition, we can visit your property and take a small sample for independent laboratory tests. If the tiles are in good condition and not damaged, they may not pose an immediate health risk. However, while on-site, we'll complete a measure and full assessment. Once the results are in, we'll discuss your options.
Asbestos was prized for its durability, reinforcing, fire resistance and insulating properties which is why you can find it in many older wall claddings, including cement sheets. ACM was also used in kitchen and bathroom tiles, as well as some textured decorative or fire-resistant coatings. If you suspect asbestos in your wall cladding, our team can assess whether removal is required by inspecting the materials. If necessary, we can take a sample for laboratory testing. Should we receive a positive result, we can provide a cost for asbestos removal and disposal.
Identifying asbestos in vinyl flooring is difficult through visual inspection alone, as it often looks similar to non-asbestos flooring. Asbestos-containing flooring came in both sheets and tiles in various colours and patterns. The only way to be sure is through laboratory testing. Often, asbestos is present in the backing of the vinyl or the glue fastening. If the results are positive, we'll quote to eliminate the risk.
Your soffits and barge panels may contain ACMs. With constant exposure to the elements, these materials deteriorate over time and may require removal to maintain safety. In addition, if you plan to renovate or remove them, it's crucial to have them checked and safely removed by professionals trained in asbestos removal to prevent asbestos fibres from becoming airborne. After a visual inspection and testing, if found to be asbestos, we can discuss your options.
In addition to decramastic roofing tiles, asbestos was used in many other roofing products, including cement roof sheets and shingles. The large sheets were often corrugated and used in both residential and commercial buildings. Shingles were available in various styles, including diamond-shaped and slate-like designs. We can test samples to confirm whether your roof contains ACMs. The team has extensive expertise in removing asbestos roofs and decontaminating ceilings. We can provide removal and temporary waterproofing quotes, including heavy gauge tarpaulins and shrink-wrapping methods.

Demolition methods for asbestos-containing materials
Soft strip demolition involves removing all the asbestos-containing material (ACM) by deconstructing the building using hand tools that allow recycling or recovery and repurposing high-quality building materials. This demolition method ensures no damage to your belongings, surrounding area, or adjacent buildings occurs. Alternatively, standard demolition for larger projects involves using diggers and trucks to remove the ACM from the site.
Asbestos encapsulation helps contain fibres from becoming airborne
Asbestos encapsulation is a process of containing and sealing ACMs to prevent the release of hazardous asbestos fibres into the environment. This technique involves applying a specialised sealant to create a protective barrier that prevents the particles from becoming airborne. Encapsulation is a safer alternative to asbestos removal in some cases, as it reduces the risk of exposure and avoids the associated costs and disruptions of full asbestos removal. We can also use encapsulation as a temporary measure while permanent removal options are determined. Call AAA Asbestos & Roofing now to discuss your options.
