Safe Asbestos Removal Services
On receipt of the asbestos survey a site review is conducted with a comprehensive quotation then provided for the removal and disposal of the materials.
An ARCP (Asbestos Removal Control Plan) is then developed and Worksafe Notification is submitted.
Our workers wear asbestos protective equipment and clothing appropriate to the category of asbestos material identified, with the materials removed carefully to mitigate the release of airborne fibres when transferring them into polythene lined transportation containers.
Once safely transferred, we send these containers to a licensed and approved disposal facility, with full documentation of all disposal dockets provided to the client.
Clearances are provided by and independent third party on completion of the works.
We follow strict guidelines to ensure the safety of our workers, the public, and the environment during all steps of the asbestos removal and disposal process.

What are the dangers of Asbestos?
Excessive asbestos exposure is as worse as it it can get. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre, once widely used in many industries due to its heat-resistant and insulating properties. However, we now know asbestos poses serious health risks when inhaled.
Fibres can become lodged in the lungs and cause many health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma (a rare and aggressive cancer of the lining of the lungs), and asbestosis (a chronic lung disease that can lead to respiratory failure). The symptoms of these diseases often do not appear until years or even decades after asbestos exposure.
Proper asbestos removal and disposal services are crucial in renovation or demolition sites.
