Protect your home, your family and your peace of mind

Yes, you can legally sell a house with asbestos in Australia, but full disclosure is highly recommended. While there’s no legal requirement to remove asbestos before selling, you must not conceal its presence if you’re aware of it. Failing to disclose known asbestos can lead to legal complications if the buyer discovers it later.

When disturbed, asbestos fibres can stay airborne for hours, days, or even longer, depending on factors like ventilation and airflow. These microscopic fibres are light and can linger in enclosed spaces, posing health risks long after the disturbance.

Why is this important? Even minimal exposure can be harmful. Inhaling airborne asbestos fibres can lead to serious diseases like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Yes, you can live in a house with asbestos in Australia, as long as the asbestos-containing materials are undisturbed and in good condition. Asbestos becomes a health risk only when fibres are released into the air, which happens if materials are damaged, deteriorating, or disturbed (e.g., during renovations).

If you plan to renovate, repair, or demolish parts of your home, you should have the property inspected and asbestos removed by professionals.

The cost of asbestos removal depends on factors like the type of asbestos (friable or non-friable), the size of the affected area, and the job’s complexity. Claim your free quote here.

Asbestos is often found in roofing, walls, insulation, floor tiles, and eaves. Since it’s hard to identify by sight, we recommend professional testing by licensed hygienists to confirm its presence.

Friable asbestos easily crumbles into airborne fibres and is more hazardous. Non-friable asbestos is bound with other materials (e.g., cement) and poses less risk unless damaged. Both types require professional handling for removal.

For most removal jobs, we recommend vacating the home to minimize exposure risks. Our team uses containment measures and HEPA filtration to ensure safety, but staying elsewhere during removal is often the safest option.

The duration varies based on the size and complexity of the job. Small projects like removing eaves or sheds may take 1-2 days, while larger jobs like roof removal could take a week or more. Timelines are provided in your custom asbestos removal plan.
