Asbestos Removal
Asbestos was commonly used in many building materials between the 1940s and late 1980s because of its durability, fire resistance and excellent insulating properties. Since the discovery of its highly hazardous properties, the use of asbestos has been made illegal in the building and construction industry, though it can still be found in many properties today. If undisturbed, asbestos poses little threat, but it can cause serious health problems if damaged. For assurance that your building is safe and free from asbestos, we offer a thorough and professional removal service, causing minimal disturbance in your home or construction site.

Do you need a qualified asbestos remover?
As a homeowner, you are legally allowed to remove up to 10 m2 without the need for a licensed removalist, though the risks of exposure need to be considered beforehand. Proper precautions need to be observed, such as wearing proper protective equipment. For commercial projects, you’ll need to employ the services of a reputable, licensed removalist.
