Asbestos Removal Brisbane

If your home was built before 1997, there’s a good chance there are ACMs present somewhere. Asbestos was often used in roofs, fences, eaves, sheds and other cement-based products. While some ACMs have a fibrous texture, visual signs can be misleading.

If you think your home could contain asbestos, get in touch with Adios Asbestos to organise professional asbestos testing to confirm the presence of asbestos.

Asbestos removal costs tend to vary based on several key factors, including the size of your property, material type, access requirements and safety protocols. Here are some price ranges to give you an idea of rough asbestos removal costs:

• Roofing (residential): $25 – $50 per sqm
• Wall and ceiling removal (residential): $30 – $55 per sqm
• Soil remediation (outdoor areas): $50 – $80 per sqm

These costs typically cover labour, equipment, safety measures and disposal fees, but the final price is likely to vary based on your project.

When it comes to asbestos removal, it pays to work with professionals. Here’s what you should look for:

• Extensive industry experience: Expertise and knowledge come with experience, so opt for an established company.

• Positive reviews from previous clients: Explore their Google reviews for positive past experiences. 

• Track record of safety: A professional asbestos removal company shouldn’t have any past records of poor compliance or safety issues.

At Adios Asbestos, we’ve developed a proven asbestos removal process to ensure every project is completed to the highest standard. Here’s what you can expect from us:

• Consultation and assessment: We kick things off with an in-depth consultation and site assessment, complete with asbestos testing if required.

• Customised plan: From our findings, we craft a tailored strategy with defined timelines and upfront costs, so you know exactly what to expect.

• Safe removal: Our qualified team takes care of the removal and/or replacement safely and efficiently, following best-practice methods.

Final inspection and support: Once the work is complete, we’ll conduct a final inspection and provide you with a detailed report and certification to verify your property is free from asbestos and safe to inhabit.

Asbestos is incredibly hazardous, so we don’t recommend you remove asbestos yourself, even if it doesn’t call for licensed removal. Professional asbestos removal specialists have been specially trained and equipped to remove and dispose of asbestos safely. It’s for this reason that we always suggest hiring a licensed expert for any asbestos-related work.

Asbestos removal can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of your property and the scope of the project. After our team completes an initial site inspection and assessment, we’ll be able to provide you with a more accurate timeline based on your specific situation.

In Brisbane and across Queensland, asbestos removal is regulated under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and overseen by WorkSafe Queensland (WHSQ). Asbestos removal professionals must hold the relevant license to remove friable asbestos (which is more hazardous and requires a Class A licence) and more than 10 square metres of non-friable (bonded) asbestos. After the removal, an independent licensed assessor must inspect the site and confirm it’s safe before anyone can re-enter the area.

For your safety, we recommend leaving your property during asbestos removal. While our team takes every precaution to contain the affected areas and minimise exposure, staying away during the process is the best way to avoid asbestos exposure.

If you think your home could contain asbestos, it’s important to avoid the suspected materials and contact the team at Adios Asbestos. We’ll be able to inspect your property and take samples to test to confirm the presence of asbestos. From here, we’ll create a tailored plan with clear timelines and costs so you understand exactly where you stand.
