Asbestos Disposal for Roofing Projects

Asbestos Roof Disposal

Asbestos Roof Disposal

 

Managing asbestos waste is a critical responsibility for roofing contractors. Whether you’re undertaking a small repair or a large-scale demolition, proper asbestos disposal is essential to ensure safety, legal compliance, and environmental protection.

Windsor Waste Management specialises in asbestos collection and disposal services, helping businesses handle this hazardous material with ease and efficiency.

Understanding Asbestos in Roofing Materials

Asbestos was widely used in roofing materials due to its durability, fire resistance, and insulating properties. Common applications include:

  • Asbestos cement sheets: Often used in roofing and cladding.
  • Roof tiles and shingles: Incorporating asbestos for added strength.
  • Roof coatings and felts: To improve weather resistance.

 

While these materials are effective, their hazardous nature makes safe removal and disposal essential. Exposure to asbestos fibres can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.
