Commercial Re-Roofing and Asbestos Roof Removal Services in Sydney



As Sydney’s commercial and industrial properties continue to age, the demand for re-roofing and asbestos roof removal has never been greater. Roof systems that were once considered industry standard in the 1960s to 1980s are now outdated, inefficient, and, in many cases, unsafe. With modern compliance, environmental, and safety expectations at an all-time high, businesses are turning to experienced professionals to ensure their roofing systems meet today’s strict performance and ISO standards.

For more than four decades, Lidoran Roofing has been a trusted name in Australia’s commercial and industrial roofing market. Over that time, many things have changed and evolved particularly in line with ISO standards in quality, Work Health & Safety (WHS), and environmental control. Lidoran not only adapted to these changes early but has become an industry leader in compliance, innovation, and large-scale commercial re-roofing solutions.

 

Why Commercial Re-Roofing Matters

Commercial buildings endure significant wear and tear from weather, operational activity, and environmental exposure. Over time, roof systems degrade leading to leaks, corrosion, reduced insulation, and even health risks when asbestos is present. Modern re-roofing delivers more than just a new surface; it brings structural integrity, energy efficiency, and compliance peace of mind.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), non-residential building maintenance and upgrade expenditure continues to rise year-on-year, with commercial property owners prioritising upgrades that improve performance, sustainability, and compliance particularly roofing.

Key Benefits of Commercial Re-Roofing:

  • Improved thermal performance and reduced energy costs
  • Enhanced safety and removal of legacy asbestos materials
  • Minimized risk of water ingress and costly interior damage
  • Compliance with ISO quality, WHS, and environmental standards
  • Improved asset value and longevity


 

The Importance of Asbestos Roof Removal

Many commercial and industrial buildings constructed before the late 1980s still have asbestos-containing materials, particularly in roofing. While stable asbestos may pose minimal immediate risk, any disturbance from leaks, damage, or re-roofing work can release hazardous fibres into the air. Asbestos roof removal must be carried out by licensed professionals under controlled conditions, with strict adherence to NSW SafeWork guidelines.

Lidoran Roofing is fully licensed and experienced in asbestos roof removal and replacement across Sydney and greater Australia. Our asbestos projects are managed to exceed safety and compliance standards, ensuring safe removal, disposal, and seamless installation of new roofing systems.
