- Asbestos Is a Serious Health Risk — Don't Handle It Yourself
Asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye and become airborne when disturbed. Inhaling them can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis and laryngeal cancer — often with symptoms appearing decades later. If you suspect asbestos is present in your property, do not drill, saw, sand or disturb it in any way. Call our licensed team immediately.

How To Tell If You Have Asbestos?
NATURALLY OCCURING CHEMICAL
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre that was widely used in Australian building materials from the 1940s through to the mid-1980s. Its heat resistance and insulating properties made it popular — but its fibres are extremely hazardous when released into the air.
Australia has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world, largely due to asbestos use in residential construction. Many Adelaide homes built before 1990 contain asbestos in some form.
Our team has removed thousands of tonnes of asbestos from homes, businesses and industrial buildings across Adelaide and South Australia. We are trained, certified and equipped to handle every type of asbestos safely and legally. For asbestos removal, feel free to call us.

Mesothelioma and asbestosis can take 10–40 years to develop after exposure. The risk is not worth taking — professional removal protects your long-term health.
WHERE IS ASBESTOS FOUND?
Roof Sheeting
Fibro and corrugated cement roof sheets were a common asbestos product in homes built pre-1990 across Adelaide.
Eaves & Cladding
Fibro board used for exterior wall cladding, eaves, soffits and fascias is one of the most commonly found sources.
Internal Walls
Flat or compressed fibro sheeting was widely used as internal wall lining and backing board in wet areas.
Heaters & Flues
Thermal insulation around old heaters, hot water systems, furnaces and flue pipes often contains asbestos.
Garages and Sheds
Many older garages, carports and outbuildings were constructed entirely of fibro cement sheeting.
Commercial Buildings
Schools, offices, industrial buildings and government facilities built before 1990 often contain asbestos materials.
Pipe Lagging
Insulation wrapping around pipes, ducts and boilers in older homes and industrial properties.
Floor Tiles and Adhesives
Vinyl floor tiles and the black bitumen adhesive used to bond them commonly contain asbestos fibres.

ASBESTOS REMOVAL FAQS
If your home was built or renovated before 1990, there is a significant chance it contains asbestos somewhere. Common locations include roof sheeting, eaves, wall cladding, wet area linings and under floor tiles. You cannot identify asbestos by sight — the only reliable method is laboratory testing. Call us to arrange an inspection.
Asbestos in good condition and left undisturbed is generally considered lower risk. However, deteriorating, damaged or crumbling asbestos poses a serious health hazard and should be removed promptly. We can assess the condition and advise whether removal is necessary.
In SA, homeowners may remove up to 10m² of bonded (non-friable) asbestos themselves, provided it is done safely and disposed of properly. However, any friable asbestos or amounts over 10m² must be handled by a licensed removalist. We strongly recommend professional removal for all asbestos work given the health risks involved.
Cost depends on the type of asbestos, quantity, accessibility and whether the site requires air monitoring. We offer free, no-obligation quotes after a site inspection so you know exactly what you're up for before any work begins.
All asbestos waste is double-bagged in approved asbestos waste bags, labelled correctly and transported to an EPA-licensed disposal facility. It cannot be placed in general waste, skips or council bins. We handle the entire transport and disposal process and provide documentation as proof.
