What you need to know about removing asbestos
General information and link to fact sheets
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibre which was widely used in building construction due to its resistance to heat, electricity and sound. However, it is now known to be toxic and many of its uses have been banned since the mid 1980s.
Asbestos is still present in a wide variety of buildings, including homes and public and commercial buildings. Provided the asbestos is not damaged or disturbed so that it is not releasing dust, it does not present any hazard to health. It is the inhalation of its microscopic fibres which can cause major health problems in cases of high or sustained exposure.
If you are embarking on a project which requires demolition of a structure containing asbestos, we deal with this aspect of the work as part of the service we offer. We are licensed to remove and dispose of asbestos and we can assist you with any legislative requirements.
If you do not have a demolition project, but have general concerns about asbestos in your home, follow these links to read useful fact sheets produced by the government about asbestos in the home and information about asbestos removal:
