After spending three weeks onsite during the Christmas holiday period, ACR Roofing are excited to share with you the transformation of an asbestos roofing removal and replacement, to both the roof and wall cladding on this huge factory for Sutton Tools in Thomastown.
The total asbestos to be removed and replaced was approximately 4,400m2, ACR Roofing contractors knew this project would be massive and all hands on deck would be required to have this asbestos removal in Melbourne completed within the proposed time frame.
The ACR Roofing team take pride in their professionalism, organisation and communication when it comes to large projects and with a team of experienced Melbourne roofers, this roof replacement was no different.
Once the old asbestos was removed, ACR roofers installed BlueScope Plain Zincalume Corrugated material to the roof and BlueScope Colorbond Corrugated wall cladding, in the colour Paperbark. The asbestos removal is completed in sections; each day an area of asbestos is removed, wrapped & disposed of according to regulations, whilst the new metal material is installed in its place to ensure the area remains watertight.
The end result of the asbestos removal and roof replacement has left the factory looking brand new; the Colorbond wall cladding and trim flashings visible from the ground provide a better look as opposed to plain Zincalume.
Safelock Pty Ltd removed the previous walkway system prior to ACR Roofing commencing the asbestos removal. Upon completion of the installation of the new metal roof, Safelock re-instated the walkways and certified to Australian Standards.
Both ACR Roofing and the client, Sutton Tools, are extremely happy with the result.
Peter, Managing Director of Sutton Tools, provided ACR Roofing with fantastic feedback on this asbestos removal in Melbourne;
“Congratulations to the team at ACR for the fantastic works completed in the recladding of our Thomastown facility. We were highly impressed with the organisation and overall professionalism of the entire team. Exceptional planning and communication through the project were two keys to its success“
