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.
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.
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.
Why does a small area cost more per metre?
Sealing a room, protective gear, clearance and disposal cost much the same
whether it is 3 m² or 15 m². That fixed part is spread over fewer metres.
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.
