Industrial Asbestos Removal Services You Can Trust
Asbestos in an industrial site can have far-reaching consequences beyond job safety. When asbestos-containing materials are discovered unexpectedly, maintenance, renovation, demolition, and production schedules might be disrupted. Proper planning enables organisations to mitigate these risks while meeting workplace obligations.
Professional industrial asbestos removal services include the controlled removal of asbestos-containing materials from factories, warehouses, plants, and other industrial settings. In Victoria, the licence required is determined by the type of asbestos being removed. A Class A licence covers friable asbestos, whereas a Class B licence protects non-friable asbestos.
A well-managed project can help with:
- Planned removal that minimises unnecessary disruption
- Appropriate controls for the asbestos and site conditions
- Safe containment and disposal of asbestos waste
- Required notifications and project documentation
- Clearance processes before affected areas are reoccupied
For larger or more complex projects, removal planning should be coordinated with site management, safety workers, and contractors. WorkSafe Victoria normally requires asbestos removal notifications at least five days before work begins, while other timetables may apply for restricted or unexpected removal operations.

Asbestos Removal Without Halting Production
Getting asbestos safely out of your property follows a clear, proven process from start to finish:
- Initial inspection and assessment — identifying asbestos containing materials and assessing their condition and risk
- Tailored removal plan — safety procedures, site preparation, and project scope mapped out before any work begins
- Safe containment and removal — specialist equipment and strict fibre control methods used throughout
- Approved disposal — all removed material transported and disposed of at a licensed facility
- Final clearance and handover — air clearance testing confirms the site is safe before it’s handed back to you
Every step is documented, so you’re left with a clear compliance record, not just a cleared site.
What Does Industrial Asbestos Removal Cost?
The cost of industrial asbestos removal varies dramatically between projects. The size of the area, the quantity and kind of asbestos-containing material, whether the material is friable or non-friable, site accessibility, containment complexity, and work controls are all factors to consider.
Other issues may include project preparation, labour, equipment, waste processing, disposal, and clearance needs. Even when asbestos materials are present, a major industrial building may require a different approach than a smaller commercial location.
Before work is quoted, the site and asbestos-containing materials should be evaluated to ensure an accurate quotation. Comparing industrial asbestos removal costs just on a price per square metre may not provide an accurate view of the overall project requirements.
When You Can't Wait: Emergency Industrial Asbestos Removal
Industrial emergencies don’t always happen during scheduled maintenance or refurbishment. Asbestos-containing materials may be discovered or damaged as a result of equipment failures, structural damage, maintenance efforts, or unanticipated accidents. Where asbestos has been disturbed, the affected area should be isolated and managed effectively, rather than allowing people to continue working near possibly contaminated material.
Rapid industrial asbestos removal may be necessary in the following situations:
- Plant or manufacturing shutdowns due to asbestos discovery during operations.
- Equipment failure may expose or harm asbestos-containing materials.
- Asbestos-related fire or explosion damage.
- Storm damage to roofs, cladding, and insulation.
- Inadvertent discovery during maintenance, upgrades, or expansion projects.
In Victoria, unplanned asbestos removal work may have different notification obligations than scheduled work. According to WorkSafe Victoria, unanticipated asbestos removal work must be reported within 24 hours of starting if the applicable regulatory circumstances exist.

Paul was absolutely incredible, he replied quickly, was incredibly professional, and got the job done at a really good price too. He answered all my dense questions and did so without making me feel like an idiot.
The whole team was trustworthy, also, we weren’t able to be there to unlock the door, so we left a key for the,m and it was returned to the same spot. Any tools that were used (in our case, our generator) were taken care of and put back where it came from.
I cannot recommend these guys enough, thank you to Paul and his team again!
I used Asbestos Australia to remove Friable asbestos from my factory, they were punctual, clean and most importantly SAFE. They used all the latest technologies, I’m so happy with the service. I would use them on every job!
Paul was great to deal with. Quick, efficient and cost-effective. My job was completed with care by his great team. I would recommend them to anyone. Cheers mate!
Can’t recommend AA enough. It was a pleasure dealing with Terry. Throughout the entire process his communication was top notch. He always kept me up to date with what was happening on site. The team worked very efficiently and their experience and expertise really showed. Very happy with their work all at a very reasonable price.
Top job by Tommy and his team removing old garage with bonded asbestos cement sheets in Glen Iris. Tommy explained everything. Returned all calls. One of the best companies I’ve ever had to do jobs. Have all equipment and arranged Work Safe stuff beforehand and provided Hygienist on day job was fiished to check everything safely removed and a Clearance Certificate day after job. All included in the quote. And the best quote of 4 from Hi Pages. But mainly they know their stuff with asbestos demolition and are friendly and helpful. Others I was uncertain about. Tommy explained everything. Efficient and a pleasure to have Asbestos Australia do the demolition.
We had a shed and eaves removed by Ridhwan and the Asbestos Australia team. The whole process was seamless and they left the site clean, tidy and locked up. Could not recommend them more highly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Potentially, depending on the location, condition, and type of asbestos, as well as the necessary protective measures. Work may be staged or isolated to keep unaffected regions operational. However, the removal area must be properly regulated, and manufacturing cannot continue in a manner that causes an unacceptable exposure risk.
Yes. Coordination with site management, safety personnel, and operations teams is critical in industrial projects. It assists in determining access requirements, work interfaces, operational limits, and necessary controls before asbestos removal begins.
Large-scale industrial removal may include factories, warehouses, plants, and other complex facilities. The proper approach is determined on the amount and kind of asbestos present, as well as site conditions and project requirements. Licensing regulations must also be reviewed before beginning construction.
Controls vary depending on the asbestos and work environment, but may include restricted access, signage, barricades, appropriate protective equipment, containment, decontamination procedures, and proper waste management. Victoria’s standards have separate tasks for Class A, Class B, and limited asbestos removal operations.
Relevant project paperwork should be kept to demonstrate that the asbestos removal criteria have been met. This can include removal notices and clearance documentation as needed. An impartial person must issue the clearance certificate for any applicable removal work before the affected area can be reoccupied.
Work around the suspected material should be stopped and the area properly managed until the asbestos danger has been determined. If removal is required, the job should be planned and completed by a properly licensed removalist, where licensing requirements apply. In Victoria, unexpected work may be subject to strict notification procedures.
A capability statement can be presented for procurement, tendering, or due diligence purposes where one is available. Businesses should also check the removalist’s current Victorian licence class to ensure it covers the asbestos-containing material used in the proposed project.
