The removal of asbestos must be performed correctly as it is a substance which can have potentially dangerous health side effects. Before starting your demolition, any asbestos will need to be removed.

ASBESTOS REMOVAL


Demolition Works experience and knowledge in both the removal and disposal of asbestos. We have a Restricted Asbestos Licence which is approved by WorkSafe, and our workers have both asbestos removal and safe demolition training and tickets.


Handling asbestos incorrectly could have serious consequences. If you think there is asbestos in your home, you should not disturb it. If the asbestos building materials are painted and without damage, they do not pose a health risk. Professional methods of removal not using power tools, high-pressure hoses, sanding equipment, and air compressors in these areas.


The materials we remove are carefully packaged and wrapped in 200 um plastic before being transported and disposed of at an approved landfill site.


Asbestos cannot be disposed of in a normal bin, and PPE clothing also needs to be thrown away in the right manner. There are specific waste sites where asbestos can be disposed, and these companies need to abide by strict licensing terms.


Our team will be mindful of your neighbours during the asbestos removal process and subsequent demolition. We will complete the job efficiently and to a high standard. We will keep the worksite tidy and when it is time for you to return, we ensure you will be able to do so safely

During your demolition, you may wish to have your asbestos fence removed. It is not uncommon to discover your property has an asbestos fence. If there is no damage it can be safe to leave your fence where it is.


However, the elements, age, and structural damage can cause asbestos to shed, and this may not be a risk you are willing to take. The same recommendations above apply.


A fence will be relatively easy for our team to remove during the demolition preparation stage, as it is a freestanding structure. If you have a neighbour on the other side, we will need a ba20 consent prior as they may need to be involved in the fence removal and the new installation.


how much does it cost to remove asbestos fencing? The answer depends on the job. The size of the fence, the condition, and accessibility will all be considered when we discuss our fees. As asbestos fence removal will be part of a bigger demolition project, we will be able to give you a customised rate for the full project.


If you do require asbestos removal in Perth as part of a demolition project, our qualified tradespeople can expertly remove the material, safely and efficiently as per legislative requirements.


Unpainted asbestos material is sprayed with adhesive glue to bind any loose fibres. Our licence allows us to remove bonded asbestos and our staff take care to avoid breaking any material. We follow strict procedures to ensure fibres don’t become airborne. It is these fibres that have the potential to cause harm and can lead to serious illness and disease relating to the respiratory system. When inhaled, the tiny particles can stick in the lungs and over time, become covered in scar tissue.


INSPECTIONS

Our inspectors examine all areas that are accessible in your house or home unit including every room, the roof, under the floor, garages, sheds, and fences. All asbestos containing materials are identified and their condition assessed. Recommendations are made to have the asbestos removed or left in place.


CLEARANCE CERTIFICATES

Demolition works can inspect asbestos work and provide a clearance certificate and hygiene services.


REPORTS

Our Asbestos Reports identify all areas of your property that may contain asbestos and provide professional advice on what to do. Our Reports are written in clear non-technical language and are easy to read.

At the completion of our Asbestos Inspection, you will know:


Whether there is asbestos on your property.

Whether the asbestos on your property is safe.

Whether the asbestos on your property is a health risk and should be removed.


The sections of your property that may contain asbestos and should not be disturbed.


ASBESTOS TESTING

Demolition Works offer asbestos testing services to identify the type of asbestos present. If your house is built in Perth before 1990, it is quite likely that your house will contain some form of asbestos material. An inspection by a qualified asbestos consultant can identify potential asbestos containing materials within your house.


The results of testing can provide peace of mind as to confirm whether the material contains asbestos or not. If the results of asbestos testing confirm that the material does not contain asbestos, this will reduce the cost of your renovation or demolition.
