Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?

Many homes built before 1990 used asbestos cement sheeting. Age and material type are strong indicators. If unsure, we can inspect and scope safely.


Is bonded asbestos dangerous?

Bonded asbestos can be stable when intact, but becomes hazardous when broken, drilled, sanded or deteriorated.


Can I pressure wash an asbestos roof?

No. Pressure washing can disturb fibres and contaminate surrounding areas. Seek licensed advice.


How long does asbestos roof removal take?

Most residential roof removals are completed within 1–3 days depending on size and access.


Do you provide clearance certificates?

Yes. Independent clearance can be arranged where required for compliance and peace of mind.


Do I need to leave the property during works?

It depends on scope and containment needs. We’ll advise during inspection.


Can you remove asbestos from bathrooms and laundries?

Yes. Bathroom/laundry wall sheeting is a common asbestos location. We remove under controlled containment.


Do you remove asbestos eaves and soffits?

Yes. We remove external asbestos materials and manage compliant disposal.


Do you remove asbestos fences?

Yes. Fencing panels can contain asbestos cement. We remove and dispose legally.


What if asbestos breaks during renovation?

Stop work, keep people away, avoid sweeping/vacuuming, and call a licensed removalist immediately.


Do you do emergency storm damage jobs?

Yes. We offer urgent response for storm damaged asbestos roofs and disturbed materials.

Can you coordinate strip-outs and asbestos removal together?

Yes. We are licensed asbestos specialists and can coordinate hazard-aware strip-outs so your project continues safely.

Do you remove asbestos in garages and sheds?

Yes. Garages/sheds commonly use asbestos cement roofing and wall panels.


Do I need council approval?

Most residential removals do not require council approval, but all works must comply with regulations. We guide you based on scope.


Can I do DIY asbestos removal?

DIY removal is high risk and may be illegal depending on scope. Licensed removal is strongly recommended.


Do you supply documentation?

Yes. We provide documentation suitable for compliance and project records, including disposal and clearance where applicable.


Will you remove all waste?

Yes. Hazardous materials are wrapped/sealed and transported to approved disposal facilities.


Do you service outside Brisbane?

What should I do before your inspection?

If safe, take a few photos from a distance and note access details. Do not disturb suspected materials.
