Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in wall cladding for decades – even into the late 1980s. This means that when you’re planning any kind of renovation in your home, you should be engaging licensed professionals to assist in testing for and removing asbestos-containing materials.
With nearly three decades of asbestos removal experience, we’re here to help Brisbane home and business owners make their properties safe and asbestos-free. We offer a specialised service for wall cladding removal and testing, designed to minimise risk and maximise results.
Asbestos exposure has been strongly linked to a number of life-threatening conditions. It’s been strongly linked to lung and other cancers, as well as chronic lung inflammatory diseases such as mesothelioma and asbestosis – both of which are generally considered to be incurable.
Before its health impacts were known or understood, asbestos was a widely used building material. It wasn’t until the 1990s that people began to fully understand the dangers of asbestos exposure and to legislate against its use in construction. Asbestos removal is still a work in progress across much of the nation, so you’re highly likely to have visited or lived in a building that needs or has needed asbestos removal at some point.
Here’s why removal needs to be the top priority:
We go above and beyond the typical standards of service, ensuring asbestos fibres are completely removed from the premises and disposed of correctly – with the right certification to prove it. Our comprehensive services include:

Our process has been tested and tried again and again – it’s how we get the best results every time.
A thorough site inspection and asbestos sample testing kickstarts our remediation process. Testing samples in a lab helps us understand the scale of the asbestos contamination, and whether it is isolated to your asbestos sheeting in your walls, or whether it extends to other areas in your home.. It can also help us understand what kinds of asbestos are present, using state-of-the-art equipment and testing processes to ensure we’re capturing all the important information and can create the most effective action plan.
We use specialised PPE to isolate the asbestos and conduct controlled removal, keeping the site safe with dust suppression methods that prevent the asbestos particles from becoming airborne and respirable. We work to the highest of industry standards, using top-tier equipment and highly trained staff,
We ensure that asbestos waste is properly labelled and packaged, so that safe transportation can take place. All asbestos waste is double wrapped, sealed, and clearly labelled as hazardous, and we use licensed waste transport vehicles to ensure that the waste is tracked throughout the process.
Only specific landfills will accept asbestos – we work with our partners at disposal sites to ensure that the highest environmental standards are being upheld, and that all safe handling processes are being adhered to. When it reaches the disposal site, the asbestos materials are registered, deposited in a safe, specialised landfill cell, and contained underground to ensure that they don’t contaminate other materials or environments.
We conduct a final round of testing to identify asbestos fibres that may still remain, and remove any other construction materials that may contain asbestos traces.
