From Carports to Full House Roofs
Perth Asbestos Removals prices roof work by area, and the bands sit within our full Perth asbestos removal cost guide. A single carport or garage is the cheap end — from around $2,500. A typical three-bedroom pre-1990 home in suburbs like Morley or Kelmscott usually lands between $5,000 and $9,000, while large, steep or two-storey roofs run to $12,000 or more. Every roof is quoted on site.
Why Height Safety Is a Big Line Item
Removing corrugated asbestos cement sheeting combines work at heights with handling amosite- and chrysotile-bearing material, so WorkSafe WA requires scaffolding or edge protection on most jobs. Steep pitches and second storeys add both scaffold volume and slower, harnessed work — the main reason two similar-sized roofs can be quoted differently.
Weathering, Extras and the Bits People Forget
Decades of Perth sun and coastal exposure break down the cement binder in fibro roof sheeting, so weathered roofs approach friable condition and must be handled more slowly, wet-down and sealed in 200-micron plastic before transport to a licensed facility. Gutters, downpipes and ridge capping are usually asbestos cement too and should be priced into the same visit, along with compliant disposal and a clearance certificate on completion.
One thing we cannot do is stage the job over multiple weekends: once sheets are disturbed, the roof must be stripped, the site cleared and clearance issued in a continuous, managed sequence. All removal work is carried out by Class A and Class B licensed removalists — see the full method on our asbestos roof removal page. Replacement Colorbond or tile roofing is a separate trade and a separate figure.
