Our Asbestos Removal Process in Sydney
At Active Demolition, we follow a systematic approach to ensure each asbestos removal project is completed efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with regulations. Here's an overview of our asbestos removal process:
1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough consultation and site assessment. We'll visit your property to evaluate the extent of asbestos presence, identify potential risks, and discuss your specific requirements. This step is crucial for providing an accurate quote and developing a tailored asbestos removal plan.
2. Asbestos Testing and Analysis
If the presence of asbestos is uncertain, we conduct professional asbestos testing. Samples are sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
3. Customised Asbestos Removal Plan
Based on the site assessment and testing results, we create a detailed asbestos removal plan tailored to your property. This plan outlines the removal method, safety measures, containment procedures, and disposal strategies.
4. Permit Acquisition and Notifications
We handle all necessary paperwork, including permit applications and notifications to relevant authorities as required by NSW regulations for asbestos removal.
5. Site Preparation and Containment
Before removal begins, we thoroughly prepare the site to ensure safety and containment:
- Sealing off the work area to prevent asbestos fibre spread
- Setting up decontamination units
- Establishing negative air pressure systems where necessary
- Placing warning signs and restricting access to the removal area
6. Asbestos Removal
Using specialised equipment and following strict safety protocols, our trained team carefully removes the asbestos-containing materials. We use wet removal techniques where possible to minimise fibre release and ensure thorough removal of all visible asbestos.
7. Waste Management and Disposal
All asbestos waste is securely wrapped, labeled, and disposed of at licensed asbestos waste facilities in compliance with NSW EPA regulations.
8. Site Decontamination and Clearance
After removal, we thoroughly decontaminate the area using specialised equipment. An independent licensed asbestos assessor then conducts a clearance inspection and air monitoring to ensure the site is safe for re-occupation.
9. Final Reporting and Certification
Upon successful clearance, we provide you with comprehensive documentation, including a clearance certificate and detailed report of the asbestos removal work conducted.

Asbestos Removal Sydney: Your Questions Answered
As Sydney's premier asbestos removal experts, we understand that you may have additional questions about the asbestos removal process. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision:
The duration of an asbestos removal project in Sydney can vary significantly depending on factors such as the size of the affected area, the type and condition of the asbestos-containing materials, and the complexity of the removal process. Typically, the process includes:
- Initial Assessment and Testing: 1-3 days
- Planning and Permit Acquisition: 1-2 weeks
- Site Preparation: 1-2 days
- Asbestos Removal: 1 day to several weeks, depending on the project size
- Clearance Inspection and Air Monitoring: 1-2 days
At Active Demolition, we strive to complete projects efficiently while ensuring all safety and regulatory requirements are met. We'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project during the initial consultation.
Asbestos removal in Sydney requires specific licenses and permits, including:
- Class A or Class B Asbestos Removal License from SafeWork NSW, depending on the type of asbestos
- Asbestos Removal Work Notification to SafeWork NSW (for jobs over 10 square meters)
- Waste Transport Certificate for transporting asbestos waste
- Local council permits (if required for specific projects)
At Active Demolition, we hold all necessary licenses and handle all permit applications as part of our comprehensive service, ensuring your project complies with all local and state regulations.
Safety is our top priority during asbestos removal. Our comprehensive safety measures include:
- Full containment of the work area to prevent asbestos fiber release
- Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers
- Negative air pressure systems to control airborne fibers
- Wet removal techniques to minimise fiber release
- HEPA filtration for all equipment
- Decontamination procedures for workers and equipment
- Continuous air monitoring during and after removal
- Proper handling and disposal of asbestos waste
- Final clearance inspections and air testing
Our strict adherence to safety protocols ensures the protection of our workers, clients, and the environment throughout the asbestos removal process.
In most cases, it's recommended that you vacate the premises during asbestos removal for safety reasons. However, the specific requirements can depend on several factors:
- The extent and location of asbestos removal
- The type of asbestos being removed (friable vs. non-friable)
- The layout of your home and proximity to the removal area
- The duration of the removal process
For small, well-contained removal projects, it might be possible to remain in unaffected areas of the home. However, for larger removals or those involving friable asbestos, temporary relocation is usually necessary. We'll discuss these details with you during the initial assessment and help you make the safest decision for your situation.
Proper disposal of asbestos waste is crucial for environmental safety and regulatory compliance. Our process includes:
- Double-wrapping all asbestos waste in heavy-duty plastic sheeting or bags
- Clearly labeling all packages as asbestos waste
- Secure loading of waste into appropriate vehicles
- Transportation to licensed asbestos waste facilities
- Obtaining and retaining waste disposal receipts for documentation
- Adhering to all EPA NSW guidelines for asbestos waste transport and disposal
We ensure that all asbestos waste is disposed of safely and legally, providing you with peace of mind and proper documentation for your records.
After completing an asbestos removal project, we provide comprehensive documentation, including:
- Asbestos Removal Control Plan
- Asbestos Removal Completion Statement
- Clearance Certificate from an independent licensed asbestos assessor
- Air monitoring results
- Waste disposal receipts
- Final report detailing the removal process and outcomes
This documentation is crucial for your records, potential property transactions, and peace of mind knowing the asbestos has been properly removed and the area is safe for occupation.
Unexpected asbestos discoveries can occur during renovation or demolition projects. Our approach to handling these situations includes:
- Immediate work stoppage in the affected area
- Securing the area to prevent access and potential exposure
- Conducting urgent asbestos testing to confirm the presence and type of asbestos
- Developing a rapid response removal plan
- Obtaining necessary emergency permits if required
- Implementing containment and removal procedures
- Conducting clearance testing before resuming work
Our experienced team is prepared to handle unexpected asbestos discoveries efficiently and safely, minimizing delays to your project while ensuring full compliance with safety regulations.
Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health risks, including:
- Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, chest wall, or abdomen.
- Lung Cancer: Asbestos exposure significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, especially in smokers.
- Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease characterised by scarring of lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulties.
- Pleural Plaques: Thickening of the lung lining, which can cause breathing issues.
- Other Cancers: Asbestos exposure has been linked to cancers of the larynx, ovary, and other organs.
It's important to note that these health risks typically result from long-term or high-level exposure to asbestos fibers. However, there is no known safe level of asbestos exposure, which is why professional removal is crucial. At Active Demolition, we take all necessary precautions to prevent asbestos fiber release during removal, protecting both our workers and our clients.

- Compliance with both asbestos removal regulations and heritage conservation requirements
