  • 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.

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

    Waste Tracking Solution.

Questions locals ask us

How much will it cost before I buy?

Book an inspection with a written report, from around $250,

before you commit to the property. If a sheet needs confirming, lab testing is

around $110 a sample. The report tells you where the suspect materials are and

what removal would roughly cost, so you can negotiate or plan with real numbers

instead of guesses.

Prices include GST.

What does a clearance certificate cover?

It confirms the work area is free of visible asbestos dust and debris and safe

to use again. After Class A work an independent licensed assessor does the

clearance and air monitoring is required.

After Class B work an independent competent person or licensed assessor does it.

Either way, it must be someone independent of the removal business,

and it happens before the area is used.

Does a strata report cover asbestos?

No. A strata report looks at the scheme's records, finances and known building

issues. It is not an asbestos inspection and it cannot confirm whether a

material contains asbestos. Ask the strata manager whether any asbestos records

exist for common property, and get the unit itself inspected.

Is the inspection cost taken off the removal price?

Ask us at the time of booking. Either way, the inspection report and removal

quote are both in writing so you can see each part.

How many samples do I need?

One for each different-looking material you plan to disturb.

Two identical sheets on the same wall usually need only one.
