Asbestos is a common mineral that was popular in construction because it is strong, heat-resistant, and good for insulation. However, it was later discovered that long-term exposure to asbestos fibres is associated with serious medical conditions like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.
Given these risks, it is essential to conduct proper testing and removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in residential and commercial properties. This is where Sydney Asbestos comes in.

Our professional asbestos removal services, will help you understand the severity of the mineral’s presence in your property so you can make an informed decision about your safety. We deliver accurate results and peace of mind and provide any additional information you need to know about the situation through thorough inspection and analysis.

Estimate
After a thorough inspection of your property, we will provide you with an estimated cost for asbestos removal in Sydney.
We recommend our customers not disturb the affected area because of health risks and estimated cost fluctuation. If the area is not disturbed, the cost will be consistent.
Safety Setup
Asbestos fibres can spread through the air quickly when moved. Therefore, it is imperative to have a safety system in place.
To ensure the overall safety and security inside the premises, we set up a safety perimeter around the affected area and place warning signs wherever required. We advise our customers to leave their respective premises and find temporary accommodation to ensure zero casualties during the removal process. Apart from intimating our customers, we limit the exposure to other areas of the property and carry out the removal safely.
Inspect Thoroughly
After setting up the safety parameters, we start the work and carefully remove the asbestos
from your property.
After safe removal, we consider vacuuming the affected area to ensure overall safety. We use an H-Class HEPA vacuum to clear the particles and spray particle binder solution to eliminate every hint of asbestos from the environment.

How long does asbestos testing take?
The duration of an asbestos test can vary depending on factors such as the size of the property and the number of samples collected. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Laboratory analysis may take additional time, usually between 24 to 48 hours.
Can I perform asbestos testing myself?
It’s strongly discouraged to perform asbestos testing yourself, as it involves handling hazardous materials that pose significant health risks. Instead, hiring a professional asbestos testing service like Sydney Asbestos is recommended to ensure the process is conducted safely and accurately.
What rules govern asbestos testing in Sydney and Wollongong?
The regulations for asbestos testing in Sydney and Wollongong are governed by the SafeWork NSW Act 2000 and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2017. These regulations require that all ACM be identified and assessed before any work is carried out.
Asbestos testing is carried out by licensed asbestos assessors such as Sydney Asbestos. We use various methods to identify ACMs, including visual inspection, sampling, and analysis. Once ACMs have been identified, we prepare a report that details the location, type, and condition of the ACMs.
The report will also include recommendations for how the ACMs should be managed. These recommendations may include:
- Encapsulation: This involves covering the ACMs with a sealant to prevent them from becoming friable (i.e., crumbling or breaking into small pieces).
- Removal: This involves physically removing the ACMs from the property.
- Demolition: This involves demolishing the structure that contains the ACMs.
If you are concerned that your property may contain asbestos, contact Sydney Asbestos. We adhere to these strict guidelines and procedures to ensure the safety of residents and workers during the asbestos test and removal procedures.
