Asbestos Removal for Your Home
Finding asbestos in your home can feel overwhelming. We make the process straightforward — from assessment through to removal and disposal — so you can get on with your renovation, sale or peace of mind.
Asbestos in Older Homes
Asbestos was widely used in Australian homes built before 1990. It was mixed into fibro sheeting, roofing, eaves, floor tiles, internal linings and many other building products because it was cheap, durable and fire-resistant.
In most cases, asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and left undisturbed do not pose an immediate risk. The concern arises when materials are damaged, deteriorating, or are about to be disturbed during renovation or demolition work.
If you are planning a renovation, selling your home, or have noticed damaged fibro or other suspect materials, having them assessed by a professional is the right first step.
When Should You Act?
Before any renovation or demolition
Cutting, drilling or breaking asbestos-containing materials releases fibres. Always have suspect materials assessed before work begins.
When materials are damaged or deteriorating
Cracked, crumbling or weathered fibro or other asbestos materials should be assessed and may need to be removed or encapsulated.
When buying or selling a property
Many buyers and lenders now expect an asbestos assessment as part of the due diligence process for older properties.
After storm or impact damage
If asbestos-containing roofing, eaves or cladding has been damaged by a storm or impact, it should be assessed before any clean-up work.
When you are simply not sure
If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, testing is the only reliable way to find out. Visual identification alone is not sufficient.

How the Process Works
Contact us
Call or submit a quote request. We will ask about the materials, location and scope so we can give you an accurate quote.
Assessment or testing
If the material has not been tested, we can arrange sampling and laboratory testing to confirm whether asbestos is present before any removal work begins.
Removal
We prepare the work area, use appropriate containment and PPE, and carefully remove the asbestos-containing materials. Your family and pets should not be in the work area during removal.
Disposal and completion
All asbestos waste is double-bagged, labelled and transported to a licensed disposal facility. We clean the work area before we leave and walk you through the completed work.
What to Expect from Us
We understand that dealing with asbestos in your home is stressful. We aim to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible — explaining what we find, what the options are, and what the work involves before anything begins.
We will let you know what to do before we arrive, how long the work is expected to take, and what the site will look like when we are done. If you have questions at any point, just ask.
