What we remove, inside and out
Before you call
It is difficult to identify asbestos by sight.
The structures built before the middle of the 1980s frequently contain asbestos and those built until 1990 are also at risk. Specific indicators exist but a laboratory test of a sample is the only method to confirm the presence of the material.
The material likely contains asbestos if
- The house or structure dates to a year before 1985.
- The sheets are grey, hard plus brittle with a surface that is weathered and dimpled.
- The fences but also roofs have corrugations that are deep and rounded.
- The capping or trims consist of the same grey cement.
- The edges are broken and appear fibrous or layered.
Avoid the actions
- Do not drill, cut, sand or snap the sheets.
- Do not use a pressure cleaner or scrub the surface.
- Do not pile soil, sleepers or garden beds against the material.
- Do not put broken pieces in the household bin or a skip.
- And do not start demolition before you know the composition of the material.
The 10 m² rule: in WA, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and friable (crumbly) asbestos always does.
Why it's still around
Why Perth has so much of it
Huge parts of Perth went up in the decades straight after the war. That timing matters: it was the peak era for asbestos cement in Australian houses. Drive through older suburbs from Morley to Fremantle and you'll still see original grey sheet fences running down the side of quarter-acre blocks. A lot of those blocks are now being renovated, split or rebuilt, and that's usually the moment the old sheeting has to come out.
We arrange removal across the whole metro area, from Two Rocks down to Mandurah and out to the Hills.

Six things to ask any asbestos removalist
Whoever you use, these questions separate the professionals from the cowboys.
What's your licence number?
Every WorkSafe WA licence can be checked. Make sure the class covers your job.
Is disposal in the price?
The quote should include wrapping, transport and tip fees, not add them later.
How will you control dust?
Expect wetting, whole-sheet removal and immediate wrapping, never cutting or breaking.
Will I get a clearance certificate?
For indoor work especially, get written confirmation the area is safe.
What happens below ground?
For fences, buried sections should come out too, not be snapped off at ground level.
Is the quote fixed?
Get it in writing before work starts, with anything that could change it spelled out.

Questions
Straight answers
How do I book a quote?
Call 08 6365 5402 or send the short form with your suburb and what needs removing. A licensed removalist gets back to you to arrange a look at the job and a written quote.
Do I need a licensed removalist?
In WA, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and friable asbestos always does. Most fences and roofs are well over 10 square metres.
Can you tell me if it's asbestos over the phone?
Not for certain. Age and appearance give a strong hint, but only a laboratory test of a sample can confirm it. If you're unsure, treat it as asbestos until you know otherwise.
Where does the asbestos go?
It's kept wet, wrapped in heavy plastic, labelled and taken to a facility approved to accept asbestos. It never goes in a household bin or a general skip.
What areas do you cover?
We arrange removal right across Perth, from Two Rocks down to Mandurah and out to the Hills.
Who actually does the removal?
Every job is done by an independent removalist licensed by WorkSafe WA. We match your job with one who covers your area and holds the right licence for it.
