Before you call
Not sure if it's asbestos?
Homes built before the mid-1980s are very likely to have asbestos somewhere, and anything built up to 1990 may too. These clues help, but only a lab test of a sample can confirm it.
Signs it probably is
- The house or structure was built before about 1985
- Grey, hard, brittle sheeting with a weathered, dimpled surface
- Deep, rounded corrugations on fences and roofs
- Capping or trims made of the same grey cement
- Broken edges that look fibrous or layered
Don't do this
- Drill, cut, sand or snap the sheets
- Pressure clean or scrub the surface
- Pile soil, sleepers or garden beds against it
- Put broken pieces in the household bin or a skip
- Start demolition before you know what's there
The 10 m² rule: in WA, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and friable (crumbly) asbestos always does.

Home turf
Why the north-east has so much of it
Beechboro sits in Perth's north-east, ringed by established suburbs like Morley, Bayswater, Bassendean and Lockridge. Large parts of the north-east went up in the decades after the war, the peak era for asbestos cement in Australian houses, and you'll still see original grey sheet fences, garage roofs and eaves on older blocks. A lot of those blocks are now being renovated, split or rebuilt, and that's usually the moment the old sheeting has to come out.
Beechboro and the suburbs around it are where our work is based.

Five things to ask any asbestos removalist
Whoever you use, these questions separate the professionals from the cowboys.
Is disposal in the price?
The quote should include wrapping, transport and tip fees, not add them later.
How will you control dust?
Expect wetting, whole-sheet removal and immediate wrapping, never cutting or breaking.
Will I get a clearance certificate?
For indoor work especially, get written confirmation the area is safe.
What happens below ground?
For fences, buried sections should come out too, not be snapped off at ground level.
Is the quote fixed?
Get it in writing before work starts, with anything that could change it spelled out.

Questions
Straight answers
How do I book a quote?
Call 08 6558 1852 and tell us your suburb and what needs removing. A licensed removalist gets back to you to arrange a look at the job and a written quote.
Do I need a licensed removalist?
In WA, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and friable asbestos always does. Most fences and roofs are well over 10 square metres.
Can you tell me if it's asbestos over the phone?
Not for certain. Age and appearance give a strong hint, but only a laboratory test of a sample can confirm it. If you're unsure, treat it as asbestos until you know otherwise.
Where does the asbestos go?
It's kept wet, wrapped in heavy plastic, labelled and taken to a facility approved to accept asbestos. It never goes in a household bin or a general skip.
What areas do you cover?
Beechboro and the nearby north-eastern suburbs are home turf, and we regularly work from Ellenbrook and Midland through to Mirrabooka and Maylands. Not sure if we cover your suburb? Just give us a call.
Who actually does the removal?
Every job is done by an independent removalist licensed by WorkSafe WA. We match your job with one who covers your area and holds the right licence for it.
