Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials due to its strength, durability, and fire-resistant properties. It was commonly used in Australian homes and commercial buildings until the late 1980s and was completely banned in 2003.

A licensed contractor has the training, experience, equipment, and procedures to safely identify, remove, transport, and dispose of asbestos while complying with Queensland WHS legislation.

Most laboratory results are available within 2–5 business days, depending on the laboratory's workload.

The only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos is through laboratory testing. If your property was built before 1990, it's safest to assume some building materials may contain asbestos until proven otherwise.

Asbestos in roofing can pose risks if damaged or deteriorating. It’s best to have it assessed and possibly removed by professionals. 

We provide asbestos inspections, testing, registers, management plans, and removal services throughout Central Queensland, including Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Emerald, Blackwater, Biloela, Bundaberg, and surrounding regions. We also travel to remote locations for larger projects. Call us to see if we service your area?

In Australian homes built before early 1990s, asbestos was commonly used in many building materials. You may find it in:

- Roofing and wall cladding (fibro or cement sheeting)

- Eaves, soffits and gables

- Fences and sheds made from fibro sheets

- Gutters, downpipes and water tanks

- Vinyl floor tiles and backing

- Old insulation around pipes or hot water systems

- Textured ceilings (popcorn ceilings) and old ceiling tiles

- Backing boards in electrical meter boxes

If your home was built before 1990, it’s best to assume asbestos may be present and have materials inspected by a licensed professional before disturbing them.

Air monitoring is not required for every job, but it may be recommended or required for higher-risk work, commercial projects, or where specified by legislation or the client.

Hire a qualified inspector to assess the property—especially if it was built before the 1990s.

No, any material containing asbestos should be handled with care by licensed professionals. 

You need a permit to remove more than 10 square meters of bonded asbestos or any friable asbestos. 

We can do the complete roof restoration, with all work carefully managed and carried out in accordance with appropriate safety practices

An Asbestos Management Plan outlines how asbestos will be managed to minimise the risk of exposure. It includes procedures for inspections, maintenance, and emergency situations.

An Asbestos Register should be reviewed at least every five years, or sooner if asbestos is removed, disturbed, or if the condition of the materials changes.

Yes. We can arrange asbestos clearance inspections following removal works where required. Clearance inspections help confirm that the removal area has been visually inspected and is suitable for reoccupation, in accordance with applicable regulations and project requirements.
