Older sheet fences between yards were often made with asbestos cement.

We take them down, wrap the panels and dispose of them,

with fence removal from around $1,650. Storm damage gets priority.

Guide only. We confirm your fixed price in writing after a free on-site quote.

Prices include GST.

Fences sit between two properties, so two owners usually care about the result.

We talk to both sides about access and timing so nobody gets a surprise.

After a storm or a car hit

  • Keep children and pets away from broken pieces

  • Do not mow, whipper-snip or sweep near the fragments

  • Lightly wet visible debris and cover it with plastic

  • Send us photos and we will prioritise make-safe work

Putting up a new fence

Once the old panels are gone and posts are out,

any fencer can install the new one. We can leave posts in place if your fencer

prefers to reuse the line.

Questions locals ask us

Can I remove it myself?

The law lets a person without a licence remove up to 10 m² of bonded asbestos in

total for the job. SafeWork NSW still recommends a licensed removalist for any

amount, and homeowners must never remove friable asbestos.

If you do go ahead with a small bonded piece,

it cannot go in your bin or a council clean-up.

Will my neighbours be told?

Yes. We give your neighbours notice before licensed removal starts, with the

dates and what to expect. Most people just want to know when to close their

windows and where the trucks will park.

Do I get disposal receipts?

Yes. Every load goes to a licensed facility and you get the paperwork.

Loads of 100 kg or 10 m² and over are also tracked through the NSW EPA's

Integrated Waste Tracking Solution, so there is a record from your driveway to

the gate.

Who pays for a shared fence removal?

That is between neighbours, and NSW has its own rules for dividing fences.

We are happy to quote both owners on one document so the split is clear.

Can you leave the fence until the new one goes up?

We can remove and replace with temporary fencing if a pet or pool needs a

barrier. Tell us at the quote.

Is the free NSW disposal scheme open yet?

Not yet. The NSW EPA announced a free household asbestos collection trial in

July 2026, expected to start in 2027.

It covers collection of small household amounts, not removal,

so it will not take a roof or a wall off for you.
