Encapsulate & Protect: Professional Asbestos Roof Sealing & Recoating
With Western Australia’s harsh climate, the cement matrix in asbestos roofing breaks down over time as constant soaking and drying weakens the sheets. This releases hazardous fibres that need to be contained.
At Rainbow Roof Restorations, we apply a specialised binder/sealer followed by two coats of durable acrylic roof coating to encapsulate fibres and provide long-term protection.
Weatherproofing and Fibre Containment for Aging Asbestos Roofs
This sealing and encapsulation process locks in fibres, containing them in a protective barrier. This stops further breakdown while keeping your roof weatherproof. It’s a simple but highly effective way to improve asbestos safety and protection on your roof without the cost and disruption of removal.
Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan with Expert Asbestos Roof Sealing
A professional asbestos roof restoration involves more than just recoating—it helps extend the lifespan of your roof, improves insulation, and cuts down on ongoing maintenance. Our sealing and resurfacing techniques ensure a safe and compliant solution for older roofing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in asbestos roof coating?
We inspect the roof to ensure it’s stable and then carefully clean the surface without disturbing the asbestos fibres. We apply a specialised sealer that binds any loose material. After that, two coats of high-build acrylic roof coating are applied to encapsulate the entire surface. This coating acts as a long-term protective barrier and weatherproofing designed especially for asbestos.
Why can an asbestos roof be dangerous?
Because as it weathers, it breaks down. When asbestos cement sheets are exposed to any sun, wind, or rain, the surface starts to erode. That erosion releases microscopic fibres into the air and ifinhaled, those fibres can lodge in the lungs and cause serious long-term health problems. Even undisturbed asbestos roofing becomes a notable health risk once the structure weakens. That’s why sealing, coating, and encapsulating are critical for safe fibre containment.
Can asbestos roof coatings stop fibre release?
Our high quality roof coatings create a sealed barrier that prevents asbestos fibres escaping all year round, even under the harsh WA weather.
What is asbestos roof encapsulation?
It’s the process of sealing asbestos sheets with our specialist coatings to keep dangerous fibres contained and stop deterioration. It’s a compliant, low-disruption alternative to having to pay for structural restoration services.
How much does asbestos roof restoration cost in Perth?
Costs vary based on roof size, condition, and access. Most asbestos roof coatings fall between $4,000–$12,000. We’ll quote it properly after a quick inspection.
