What is asbestos removal and asbestos roof removal?
Asbestos removal and roof removal are the processes of safely removing and demolishing structures that contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos is a naturally occurring material that was once widely used in various construction materials due to its fire resistance, durability and insulating properties. It’s for this reason that many older homes and buildings around Brisbane constructed before 1997 are more likely to contain ACM. While undamaged, fully intact asbestos materials pose no great risks, damaged or disturbed ACMs are extremely hazardous, releasing tiny asbestos particles into the air. These particles are invisible to the naked human eye and easily inhalable. Over time, long-term exposure can lead to irreversible diseases, like mesothelioma and asbestosis.
Asbestos removal and roof removal are highly specialised services that require licensed professionals who have been specifically trained and equipped to remove and dispose of the ACMs safely. The end goal of asbestos removal is to completely remove and dispose of any hazardous asbestos materials while minimising exposure to workers, the public and the surrounding environment. Not to mention, professional asbestos removal is often required for compliance and planning procedures. Once the professional removal is complete, the team will conduct a final inspection and prepare a report, which is often required for property transactions, renovations or insurance claims.

FAQs
How can you tell if there’s asbestos in your property?
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.

Is asbestos removal safe for homeowners?
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.
How long does asbestos removal take?
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.
What are the legal requirements for asbestos removal in Brisbane?
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.
Do I need to leave my home during the removal?
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.
What should I do if I suspect asbestos in my Brisbane home?
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.
