Asbestos Removal Gold Coast

Companies began making asbestos roofing and building materials for buildings in the Gold Coast back in the 1930s because of perceived benefits that it brought to the construction industry: both higher durability and strength. But in the decades that followed, researchers began to discover that asbestos fibres took a terrible toll on human health. People exposed to asbestos commonly developed conditions like asbestosis and lung cancer.

Unfortunately, the truth about the harmful health effects of asbestos only emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, by which point, thousands of buildings already contained the material. At Manchester Roofing, our mission is to help property owners in the Gold Coast area remove harmful asbestos-containing products from their properties using state-of-the-art methods. Once the material is gone, the risk of asbestos poisoning disappears.

Asbestos roof sheeting is safe, so long as the asbestos remains encased in concrete. Unfortunately, concrete roofing degrades over time, just like any other roofing material, releasing asbestos fibres into the environment, potentially damaging the lungs of colleagues, clients, customers and members of your family.
