Asbestos Removal in Sydney, Start to Finish

Removal and testing for Sydney homes and businesses.

We'll be in touch within 30 minutes.

Older brick home with a wide front veranda and garden

We remove bonded and friable asbestos from Sydney homes and businesses,

from one broken sheet to a whole roof.

You get a written fixed price, notice to your neighbours,

SafeWork NSW notified when required, independent clearance and disposal

receipts.

Most calls start the same way: a reno has uncovered grey sheeting,

a fence has cracked after a storm, or a building report has flagged something

near the eaves. You want to know what it is, what it costs and how long it will

take. That is the whole job of this page.

We handle the work from the first look to the last receipt.

No passing you to someone else halfway, and no surprise bills at the end.

Bonded or friable: why it matters

Bonded asbestos is locked into cement sheet, like most fibro.

It is stable when left alone. Friable asbestos crumbles by hand, like old pipe

lagging or some insulation, and releases fibres far more easily.

The difference decides who is allowed to remove it, how the area is sealed,

and whether air monitoring is required.

We tell you which it is in writing before any price is final.

What removal looks like on the day

  • Work zone fenced and signed, windows on that side sealed

  • Sheets kept damp and unscrewed rather than snapped

  • Everything double-wrapped in heavy plastic and labelled

  • Surfaces cleaned and checked before the clearance visit

What changes the price

Every quote is fixed and written. These are the things that move it up or down.

  1. 01

    How many square metres come out, and whether the sheets are whole or broken

  2. 02

    Access: height, stairs, tight side passages and how far to the truck

  3. 03

    Bonded or friable material, which decides the licence class and controls

  4. 04

    Whether air monitoring is needed, and the independent clearance

  5. 05

    Disposal weight and tip fees, shown as its own line

    work starts.

    Sheets are wetted, taken off whole where possible, double-wrapped and sealed.

    The area is cleaned as we go.

  7. 07Independent clearance

  • Without a licence, a person can remove 10 m² or less of bonded asbestos in total

    for the job. SafeWork NSW recommends a licensed removalist for any amount.

    Homeowners must never remove friable asbestos.

  • Licensed removalists notify SafeWork NSW 5 calendar days before removing more

    than 10 m² of bonded asbestos or any friable asbestos.

  • Clearance must be independent of the removal business and happen before the area

    is used again. Class A work needs a licensed assessor and air monitoring.

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.

What if more asbestos turns up mid-job?

We stop that part of the work, show you what we found and give you a written

price for it before going further. Nothing extra is added to your bill without

your yes. Older homes do hide sheeting behind newer linings, which is why the

quote lists exactly what is included.

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.

Can I stay home while cladding comes off?

Often yes, when the work is outside and bonded.

We seal the windows and doors on that side,

fence off the work zone and keep the sheets damp so they come off whole.

If the job is inside, or the material is friable,

we will tell you at the quote that it is better to be out for the day and when

you can come back.

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.

How fast can you start?

Small bonded jobs can often be booked within days.

Larger licensed removal has to wait at least 5 calendar days after SafeWork NSW

is notified, so we plan the date around that from the start.
