Commercial buildings in Wollongong used nearly as much asbestos as homes in the past, if not more. It isn’t hard to see why: it’s highly fire-resistant for its price, and Australia used to have a huge supply of the stuff. Unfortunately, the current generation is paying the price for overdependence in the form of cancers and other illnesses.
It’s not too late to get rid of asbestos in your office or warehouse. If you suspect or confirm that your property was built before the 1990s, contact the Sydney Asbestos team for expert commercial asbestos removal in Wollongong right away. Our experience and expertise will ensure safe premises for your customers and staff.
Our Asbestos Removal Process
Professional asbestos removalists understand the dangers of letting asbestos remain for too long. Like any other building material, asbestos suffers from gradual wear and tear. As it does, asbestos fibres break free and wait for unsuspecting people to inhale them.
Our three-step process guarantees safe and thorough asbestos removal from every nook and cranny of commercial properties. We work to provide a safe space to do business. No one should ever have to pay for something with their health.
Inspection
Every asbestos removal job begins with a thorough site inspection. If our team finds any material suspected of containing asbestos, we take a small sample and send it for testing. In some cases, we can confirm the presence of asbestos in the property without testing.
Testing
Sydney Asbestos works with NATA-accredited labs that have the proper tools and techniques for asbestos testing. Results can be released within 48 hours, but our team can arrange for same-day release (at extra cost) should you need the results immediately.
Removal
With enough details on the asbestos in your property, our team can proceed with the removal. Our removal process follows SafeWork NSW guidelines, such as equipping our removalists with full protective gear and carefully disposing of the dismantled asbestos.
Professional vs. DIY Asbestos Removal
While the law allows DIY removal for no more than 10 square metres of asbestos without a licence, we never recommend this because it’s too risky. One wrong move can disturb the asbestos and release its deadly fibres into the air, especially without the proper equipment and training. With asbestos, nothing should be left to chance.
On the other hand, our asbestos removalists have received formal asbestos management training and are licenced to undertake such a task. They understand the risks of botched asbestos removal and take every precaution in dismantling and disposing of the material.
No matter how much asbestos is in your property, you can trust Sydney Asbestos to get the job done. Don’t hesitate to speak with our team to start planning efficient asbestos removal for your commercial property or if you want to know more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dangers of leaving asbestos alone?
Degrading asbestos risks releasing its fibres, which can cause serious damage to the lungs (even cause lung cancer) if inhaled. Worse, these fibres are too small for the naked eye to see and don’t emit any distinct smell.
How can you confirm that it’s asbestos without testing?
Any property built before the 1990s that hadn’t undergone any renovation work likely has asbestos in it. Our team has done enough inspections and removals to know the signs of asbestos in buildings, such as popcorn ceilings and checkered floor tiles.
What is the timeframe for asbestos removal?
Asbestos removal time varies based on the property’s size and the amount of asbestos. We’ve had asbestos removal projects that took several weeks to finish due to the extensive use of the material on the property.
Do you remove friable asbestos?
Unfortunately, we only hold a Class B bonded asbestos removal licence, meaning we only deal with non-friable asbestos. That said, we’re more than happy to refer you to another professional with a Class A licence.
