Asbestos Removal Sydney

Bonded and friable — handled in-house

Bonded asbestos (such as fibro sheeting) and friable asbestos (loose, crumbling material) carry different risks and licensing requirements. We hold the licensing to handle both, using proper containment, negative-air where needed, decontamination and controlled removal to keep your family, staff or neighbours safe.

Because asbestos removal sits under the same roof as our demolition and excavation crews, there is no gap in the program and no waiting on an outside contractor when material is found.

Documentation you can rely on

Asbestos work is heavily regulated for good reason. We provide the paperwork that proves it was done correctly — removal control plans, air-monitoring results and clearance certificates — and dispose of all material at licensed facilities with EPA-compliant tracking.

That documentation matters for your safety, for compliance, and for the sale, rebuild or refinance that often follows.

Licensed Asbestos Removalist Sydney

In NSW, asbestos removal is licensed work. Removing more than 10 m² of non-friable (bonded) asbestos requires at least a Class B licence, and any friable asbestos requires a Class A licence. We are licensed for both bonded and friable asbestos removal in Sydney, so the same team can handle anything from a few fibro sheets to pipe lagging and damaged material, with air monitoring and clearance arranged as required.

Where Asbestos Is Found in Sydney Homes and Buildings

Asbestos was widely used in Australian buildings until it was banned at the end of 2003, and homes built or renovated before 1990 are the most likely to contain it. Common locations include:

• Eaves, external wall sheeting and fibro extensions
• Bathroom, laundry and kitchen wall linings and splashbacks
• Vinyl floor tiles and the backing under sheet vinyl
• Corrugated roofing, gutters and downpipes
• Fences, garages, sheds and carports
• Pipe lagging, boiler insulation and electrical meter boards

If you are not sure, testing is quick and inexpensive. We can arrange sampling before any renovation or demolition. Read more in asbestos in older Sydney homes.
