Reliable Roof Asbestos Removal

At Ron Nickel Roofing, we can help with roof asbestos removal in Tweed Heads, on the Gold Coast and in the surrounding areas. To help you identify the risks and understand the importance of asbestos removal, we’d like to give you some information on this subject.


Asbestos is found in older homes and it can present itself in various forms. The three main types of asbestos are:


  • Chrysotile (white asbestos)
  • Amosite (brown asbestos)
  • Crocidolite (blue asbestos)

Asbestos Can Present As Insulation

Asbestos can present as insulation in walls or roofing and it looks very fibrous. It may resemble chipboard or a fluffy, cotton-wool-like material. If you find this material, you must report it to your local council. You must also take all precautions to avoid contact with it.


Asbestos causes a medical condition called mesothelioma and has also been linked to a range of lung cancers and respiratory conditions. Asbestos-related conditions are contracted by inhaling the particles. These illnesses are often fatal and can take many years to manifest.

Residential Roof Asbestos Removal

Asbestos removals have been carried out since the material was first banned for use in residential premises. Most homes built from the 1990s onwards will not contain asbestos, but older homes – particularly those of the 1950's to 1960's – may still contain the material. If you’re unsure whether you have discovered roof asbestos, always contact a professional.


Asbestos removal must be carried out by a licensed professional to ensure the safety of both homeowners and the general public. Residents will be advised of the removal process at the time of the site inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my home or workplace has roof asbestos?

    It’s difficult to spot asbestos by sight alone. However, if your residential or commercial building was constructed, or had a great amount of building work done, before 1999 it is likely that asbestos was used. If you are worried about the risk – especially if you’re considering further construction, feel free to contact us at Ron Nickel Roofing for advice.  

  • Is roof asbestos okay if left undisturbed?

    This depends significantly on your building usage, the location of the asbestos or if you’re planning further construction. If there is any chance that the asbestos particles will be released into the surroundings, they can pose a risk to your health and therefore should be treated.

  • Does my home need an asbestos survey?

    Although there is no legal requirement, if you are selling your home and it was built before 2000, then you may need to have an asbestos survey. It’s worth keeping in mind that asbestos work can be expensive, so it will affect the price of your property. If you rent a house it is your landlord’s responsibility, and the appropriate checks will be carried out by them. If there is asbestos present, then all residents will be moved to a safe place while the asbestos removal is taking place – in some cases you may be asked to evacuate the premises.

  • Does my business need an asbestos survey?

    You must, by law, have an asbestos register if you’re responsible for a workplace that was built before the year 2000. If asbestos is found, it must be reported to the council. Like with residential buildings, you will be moved to a safe location while the asbestos is removed. In commercial buildings, public safety issues are very important. So, you are strongly advised to take into consideration any legal liabilities and risk-management issues surrounding asbestos removal.

  • What could happen if I am exposed to asbestos fibres?

    Unfortunately, the inhalation of asbestos fibres has been linked closely to asbestos-related diseases – all of which could become fatal. They have a latency period of between 40 to 50 years before they take effect. There are currently no cures for asbestos-related diseases, so taking the correct preventative measures is crucial.
