Frequently
asked questions.

Ask us anything at all.

We help organise a custom scope of works with you, using our proprietary roof report generator. Then send the report to eligible roofing companies in your are and collect your quotes.
Asbestos removal pricing can vary greatly depending on a large number of factors. Type of asbestos, type of structure, access requirements, condition of the material & geographic location around the country. We will discuss the requirements with you and be able to return prompt quotes back to you no matter the situation.
There is no hard and fast rule here but it is definitely advisable not to plan any outdoor events during the process of asbestos removal at the property. Occupants are fine inside the structure or coming and going during asbestos removal but this will be discussed with you on a case by case basis by the removal company responsible for the health and safety plan at your property.
Asbestos removal is heavily regulated so every single legitimate asbestos removal company is audited by a third party independent assessor on every single job. The purpose of this audit is to confirm the work was done is compliant and there is no contamination or risk at the property following the removal of asbestos.
Roofbuddy specialises in making things easy for our customers. We will procure all the quotes for each part of the job you require & then handover to the respective companies so they can coordinate their scheduling, scaffolding, access and completion timeframes with each other - often times these companies have worked together before and will have a good track record of coordination and cooperation to complete these projects.
Yes. Asbestos, a confirmed human carcinogen that poses a dose-dependent cancer risk; with higher exposure and prolonged duration amplifying the likelihood of asbestos-related diseases. Inhaling significant amounts of airborne asbestos leads to conditions such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, pleural plaques, and cancers in the lung, larynx, and ovary. Symptoms encompass breathing difficulties and detectable lung scarring via x-ray. Overall, asbestos exposure correlates with increased potential for various serious health issues, emphasizing the importance of minimizing contact with this hazardous substance and removing it from living or working spaces.
Asbestos removal and re-roofing is a project requiring excellent cooperation and coordination between the different companies involved & planning with respect to weather events. The project will either be done in stages or tackled in one go, the handover between the roofer and asbestos removal company may involve temporary waterproofing measures or strict timelines for arrival to execute required works and secure the roof for waterproofing. The companies we work with have an excellent track record of execution on these projects so you can proceed with confidence.
Roofbuddy specialises in real people. We answer the phone, visit your property and take the time to talk you through the entire process. Proceed with confidence knowing that you have the best information and quotes at your fingertips and impartial advice from a Roofbuddy consultant to assist you throughout the process.
Roofing is a high demand industry and roofing companies and roofers are extremely busy. Attracting customers, answering the phone, doing site visits and preparing quotes are very time consuming workloads for roofers.

Along with our excellent customer service skills we have proprietary report generating software that helps for quoting accuracy. Roofing companies pay a fee to Roofbuddy to partner with us and receive the opportunity to quote on jobs listed with us.
