ASBESTOS TAKE CARE!

Submitted by admin on Wednesday, 12 September 2018 - 10:05
During the installation of new box gutters at a Sydney facility with asbestos roofs, on site testing detected the presence of asbestos fibres in the gutters. This is a timely reminder to those who work near, or with materials containing asbestos, to take care and follow the correct work procedures, to protect your client, but just as importantly your employees. Weathered asbestos roof sheets are in a constant state of breakdown, due to the presence of lichen, secreting oxolic acid, which breaks down the cement content of the roof sheets, over time exposing the previously bonded asbestos fibres. Currently there are only two ways to stop this breakdown process, one is to remove and replace

Fibro Asbestos Roofing

Submitted by admin on Monday, 13 August 2018 - 08:53
Fibro asbestos roofs undergo a breakdown process similar to the rusting of metal roofs.   Asbestos roof sheets were constructed using Portland cement, water, then reinforced with asbestos fibres.   This photograph shows the extent of the breakdown of the surface of aged asbestos roof sheets. Losing the surface cement through weathering, the roof sheets become thinner from the upper surface. They then change to a darker colour and so attract more heat, being of limited flexibility, the roof sheets then expand and contract and eventually crack. You can liken this process to a metal roof undergoing the process of becoming rusty; you can treat the rusted areas, or wait until the roof sheet disintegrates

ASBESTOS ROOFS – ARE THEY A DANGER TO HEALTH?

Submitted by admin on Monday, 21 May 2018 - 06:39
Asbestos Roof Solutions News – May 2018 As evidence that fibres do become loose from the surface of asbestos roofs, the accompanying photographs, show fibres, from a weathered asbestos cement roof, In recently cleaned box gutters, at a job site in April 2018, in Sydney NSW.   Weathered asbestos cement roof sheeting, (Fibro) undergoes a weathering process after many years of exposure and a loose surface layer develops, which on roofs becomes colonised with dark coloured lichen.

The surface becomes unstable, the asbestos cement sheeting is weakened and the darkened colour causes a substantial increase in roof

The accompanying photographs in our web site gallery show the results of before and after photographs of a recently completed job in Concord, Sydney.  In this instance we were employed by a major Industrial strata management company.

Following site inspections and meetings with Insurance assessors, our quotation was accepted by the insurance company involved and the
