Non-Friable Asbestos Removal Sydney
Licensed Non-Friable (Bonded) Asbestos Removal in Sydney
Non-friable asbestos, commonly known as bonded asbestos, is found in thousands of older properties across the Sydney metropolitan area. While these materials are solid, they pose a significant health risk if they become weathered, damaged, or disturbed during renovations.
In Sydney’s older suburbs, this material is most commonly found in “fibro” products such as:
- Roofing & Fencing: Corrugated "Super Six" sheets
- External Linings: Eaves, soffits, and flat wall cladding
- Internal Wet Areas: Wall sheeting in vintage bathrooms and laundries
Building the Future by Safely Clearing the Past.
At Sydney Asbestos Removal, we provide expert, licensed services to identify, remove, and dispose of bonded asbestos safely. We ensure your home or workplace remains compliant with SafeWork NSW standards, giving you total peace of mind.
Common Materials We Remove
Sydney’s “fibro” cottages and older commercial hubs often contain asbestos in specific areas. We specialise in:
- Asbestos Roof Sheeting: Corrugated roofing and ridge capping
- Eaves & Soffits: External linings under roof overhangs.
- Internal Wet Areas: Wall sheeting in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries
- External Cladding: "Fibro" walls and flat sheets
- Asbestos Fencing: Common "Super Six" or corrugated boundary fences
- Vinyl Floor Tiles: And the hazardous black bitumen adhesives underneath
- Flues & Water Pipes: Found in many older Sydney plumbing systems
Our 5-Step Safety Process
- Site Inspection & Testing: We assess the material and can arrange NATA-accredited testing if required
- Safety Setup: Installing signage, barricades, and preparing the work zone with heavy-duty plastic drop sheets.
- Precision Removal: Carefully unscrewing or lifting sheets to prevent breakage.
- Decontamination: HEPA-vacuuming the area and using "wet methods" to suppress dust.
- Certified Disposal: Transporting waste to a legal NSW landfill and providing you with the disposal receipts for your records.
When to Call the Professionals
In NSW, you are legally required to use a licensed removalist if you are removing more than 10 square meters of non-friable asbestos. However, SafeWork NSW strongly recommends professional removal for any amount to avoid contamination.
- Renovating: Before you drill, cut, or demolish walls
- Buying/Selling: To ensure the property is safe for new occupants
- Repairing Storm Damage: If fencing or roofing has cracked or shattered
- Managing a Commercial Site: To meet WHS (Work Health & Safety) obligations
