This Deadly Toxin (asbestos) Hides in 1 in 3 Aussie Homes Built Before 1990
Asbestos removal is often an essential stage in any residential or commercial demolition. Found inside almost a third of Australian homes built before the 1980s, asbestos poses severe health risks when fibres become airborne through deterioration or damage.

Our licensed technicians then thoughtfully plan equipment logistics and safe pedestrian controls. Step-by-step asbestos sequences meet NSW safety standards.
Asbestos Inspections Finding Hidden Risks
Even if purchased decades later, properties constructed before 1990 can still contain asbestos in walls, flooring, ceilings, insulation or cement sheets.
Visual confirmation proves difficult. Our accredited asbestos assessors carry out methodical material sampling. We send portions for lab testing to confirm if asbestos exists onsite so locations become documented for future tradesperson awareness.
During renovations or demolition projects disturbing suspect areas, licensed removal should happen first. Our asbestos testing inspections provide homeowners, builders and developers peace of mind. You can confidently move forward with redevelopment plans after eliminating environmental health dangers professionally.
Safe Asbestos Removal Company Protecting Sydney Families
Asbestos requires proper handling by licensed removal professionals to avoid fibre inhalation triggering severe lung conditions like mesothelioma or asbestosis over the years.
Our asbestos removal process encapsulates contaminated areas completely using plastic sheeting, warning signs and overhead scaffolding. Directing pedestrians away from work zones near schools or commercial districts is important.
Negative air pressure units ensure no fibres spread beyond containment zones. While working inside isolations, technicians wear proper PPE, such as respirator masks and medical monitors.
Friable asbestos, classified as easily crumbled, gets misted to control dust portions during careful extraction. Disposal is secure to allow for safe renovations. We provide total contamination solutions.
Licensed Asbestos Removalists – Trust The Demolition Team
We maintain all mandated asbestos licenses and insurances verified through the NSW EPA. This allows for legal transport and disposal coordination after methodical site remediation.
Annual refresher courses guarantee our asbestos removal staff and assessors implement responsible protocols. These include staged clearance inspections and proper documentation protecting residents’ neighbouring project sites across Sydney.
Client references also showcase a long history of safely clearing asbestos during home renovations or commercial demolitions. Older buildings may contain legacy materials. Review our testimonials and know you are partnering with one of New South Wales’s most transparent removal teams.
Commercial and Residential Asbestos Removal in Sydney
Residential containment and disposal can revitalise family homes with fresh renovations.
Our asbestos removal services also cater to large-scale commercial needs, including shopping centre overhauls, factory decommissioning and apartment complex refurbishments. In these larger projects, widespread testing and staggered abatement prove necessary before reconstructions can commence.
Heavy equipment access, surrounding occupancy factors and material volumes differ greatly from single-dwelling asbestos jobs. Our varied experience shines through. We tailor turnkey project solutions specific to risks upon rigorous site evaluations.
Licensed and Experienced Asbestos Removalists
Our asbestos removal teams maintain formal licenses issued by SafeWork NSW, allowing legal handling and transportation of contaminated waste.
Licenses get reviewed annually with technicians undergoing regular medical checks, given the risks of fibre inhalation. We proudly undergo extra screening, showcasing our commitment to public and personnel safety across all Sydney and wider NSW projects.
Asbestos Inspections Pinpointing Affected Materials
Trained specialists conduct asbestos inspections utilising samples sent for lab testing since varieties like bonded asbestos prove hard to identify visually.
We methodically check properties with suspected lagging water pipes, walls and roofing for positive results. If asbestos exists onsite, it’s labelled clearly on our asbestos register, including material types and positioning details.
Some removals happen immediately if homes become unsafe.
Safe Asbestos Removal Protects Families
Families should stay outside containment zones in their homes or neighbouring commercial sites during removals. Warning signs are also placed visibly for pedestrians and visitors to affected properties.
Our strict safety protocols protect clients and technicians, minimising exposure when removing damaged asbestos materials commonly hiding out of sight within wall cavities and ageing cement sheets containing traces.
Licensed Asbestos Removal Protecting NSW Residents
Our entire asbestos removal process complies strictly with SafeWork NSW rules around containment, exposure prevention and lawful waste disposal. Before receiving clearance certificates, sites undergo extensive final inspections verifying that there are no lingering traces. Workcover licensed technicians across assessment and removal guarantee projects finish safely.
Identifying Asbestos Before Sydney Demolition Jobs
During demolition planning, asbestos inspection forms a key first phase. We check walls, insulation, flooring and roofing sheets for contamination.
Around 30% of Aussie structures built pre-1990 used asbestos-containing materials, which were banned finally in 2003. We utilise previous building records and send samples for testing if unsure.
Handling Asbestos Waste and Disposal Safely
Bagged asbestos gets double-wrapped in thick plastic and approved for safe transportation from our Sydney containment zones to waste facilities, eliminating exposure risks.
We comply with EPA regulations, recording load details through formal waste consignment notes and tracking the hazardous material to final disposal points.
Final Clearance Inspections Certifying Projects
Our thorough inspection process does not conclude when initial asbestos extraction finishes. We conduct staged clearance testing across removal zones using specialised instruments, detecting lingering traces down to airborne fibres until levels measure zero.
These final clearance documents certify that properties become safe for demolition crews, traders and your family before major renovations.
Asbestos Removal Costs in Sydney
Pricing depends on asbestos form, quantity, positioning, neighbouring site logistics, and disposal transportation factored in by our NSW team assessing your unique contamination situation.
Ballpark figures when budgeting – single suburban homes usually fall between $15,000 to $35,000 for testing through final air clearances. High-density blocks range from $100,000 to $250,000+.
With possible long-term health ramifications, financial savings utilising illegitimate removalists proves too risky compared to qualified companies like ours getting the job done correctly.

Frequently Asked Asbestos Questions
Q: Do all Sydney homes built before 1990 contain asbestos?
A: While around 30% of Aussie homes built pre-1990 used some asbestos materials, visual confirmation remains difficult. Get inspections done before renovations or demolition for certainty.
Q: Can you describe the difference between friable and non-friable asbestos?
A: Friable asbestos, classified as materials like insulation prone to crumbling, poses higher inhalation risks requiring abatement by licensed technicians. Non-friable bonded traces within cement sheets get handled through cautious extraction and disposal.
Q: What disposal process do you use for collected asbestos wastes?
A: Bagged asbestos first gets double-wrapped in thick plastic approved for transportation to licensed waste facilities, safely eliminating exposure risks. We comply with EPA regulations, tracking the hazardous materials to final disposal points.
Q: Do clearance certificates verify a property becomes asbestos-free?
A: Final clearance certificates verify properties reach contamination levels well below regulated asbestos exposure thresholds after thorough occupant safety testing, making sites safe for renovations or demolition crews to proceed.
