Older brick home with a wide front veranda and garden

We remove asbestos wall and ceiling sheeting from inside homes,

usually at $40–$100 per m². Inside work needs the room sealed off, so we plan

the job around how you live in the house.

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

Prices include GST.

Internal sheeting turns up during kitchen, bathroom and extension work,

often behind a newer layer of plasterboard.

The moment a builder finds it, work should stop until it is identified.

Sealing an internal room

Plastic sheeting over doors, vents and openings
Furniture moved out or wrapped before we start
No power tools on the sheeting itself
Fine cleaning of every surface before clearance

Ceilings need extra care

Ceiling sheets are overhead, so anything loose falls toward the person removing

them. Some older ceilings have friable material above them as well.

We check the roof space before giving you a price.

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.
Source: SafeWork NSW
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 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 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.

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.

My builder found sheeting behind plasterboard. What now?

Stop work in that area, keep people out and close the room up. Send us a photo.

We can usually test or quote quickly so your builder is not held up for long.

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.
