2. Should I Get My Asbestos Roof Removed? If you have an asbestos roof, you're probably wondering whether it's worth the expense to have it removed and replaced with asbestos-free material. There's currently no requirement in NSW to remove asbestos roofs, so the decision is yours. Obviously you will need to take into account the cost of removal and replacement. However, you should balance this against the factors in favour of having your asbestos roof removed: 1. The more weathered your roof gets, the more risk there is of deterioration, which might expose your family and neighbours to harmful asbestos fibres. 2. We've heard from some property owners that asbestos roofing makes a property more difficult to sell. 3. Homes with asbestos roofs are also likely to be more expensive to insure. Some insurance companies may even decline to insure homes with asbestos roofs. 4. You will almost certainly want to replace the roof at some point. Doing it sooner rather than later minimises the possibility of complications. It also means you avoid the possible rush if asbestos roof removal ever becomes compulsory, or if the risks become better-known.

3. How to Know if Siding or Roofing Has Asbestos? One of the most stressful things about owning a home is uncovering potentially hazardous materials in your home. Asbestos ranks high on the list of dangerous substances because of its toxic and carcinogenic properties when airborne. While older homes will likely contain asbestos in roofing, insulation, and tiles, it can also be present in exterior siding. If you suspect that your siding may contain asbestos, there is no need for alarm. CHOMP will inspect your ceilings for synthetic mineral fibre batts, typically in the form of loose fill cellulose based insulation or a loose fill synthetic mineral fibre that could expose you to loose asbestos fibres.
