What to Expect from Our Asbestos Removal Services
Asbestos was commonly used in homes, buildings, and fencing throughout Newcastle until the late 1980s, so it’s not uncommon to find it lurking in roofing, wall sheeting, eaves, vinyl flooring, and insulation. The problem is, disturbing it—especially friable asbestos—can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing serious health risks. That’s why asbestos removal should only be carried out by qualified professionals. When you choose Husky Demolition, you get a team with the right licensing, training, and safety certifications to remove asbestos thoroughly and responsibly. We follow a clear step-by-step process that includes site assessment, air monitoring (if needed), safe removal, and transport to an EPA-approved facility.
We also document everything, giving you peace of mind that the job was done correctly and legally. With our own fleet of equipment and a team ready to respond across Newcastle and the surrounding suburbs, we work efficiently and with minimal disruption to your home, business, or worksite. Our clients appreciate how clearly we communicate, how careful we are on-site, and how smoothly we manage the entire process.
Whether you’re planning a renovation or managing a commercial compliance issue, we make asbestos removal simple, safe, and fully compliant from start to finish.
How do I know if my home contains asbestos?
Asbestos was widely used in Australian building materials up until the late 1980s, particularly in homes built before 1990. Common places where asbestos may be found include cement sheeting (fibro) used in walls, ceilings, eaves, and roofing; vinyl floor tiles; insulation; and external fencing. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to identify asbestos by sight alone. The safest way to confirm its presence is through professional testing, where a licensed asbestos assessor collects samples for lab analysis. If you're planning renovations or demolition, it's essential to check for asbestos before starting work to avoid the risk of exposure.
Is it safe to remove asbestos myself?
No, asbestos removal is not considered safe for unlicensed individuals. In NSW, small amounts (under 10 square metres of bonded asbestos) may be legally removed by homeowners, but this is strongly discouraged due to the health risks involved. Improper handling can release harmful fibres into the air, which can lead to serious conditions like asbestosis, mesothelioma, or lung cancer over time. Licensed asbestos removalists have the correct protective equipment, training, and disposal procedures to safely manage the process and ensure compliance with government regulations. It’s always safer and more responsible to engage a qualified professional.
What happens during professional asbestos removal?
Professional asbestos removal follows a strict, step-by-step process to minimise risk. First, the area is assessed and tested (if needed) to confirm the presence of asbestos. The site is then sealed off and signage is placed to restrict access. Removalists wear full PPE and use specialised tools and containment methods, such as wetting materials to suppress dust and sealing waste in approved containers. Once removed, the asbestos is transported to a licensed disposal facility. Depending on the type and amount of asbestos, air monitoring and clearance inspections may be required before the area is deemed safe to reoccupy.
