What to send
Five photos.
A clearer quote.
The form takes up to five photos or PDF plans, 4 MB in total. These five tell us the most about the job before anyone visits.
- Example · Haberfield

The front of the property
The building from the street, so we can see its size, storeys and materials.
- Example · Brookvale

The work area
Everything that’s coming down, including any garage, sheds, pool, slab or driveway.
- Example · Longueville

The way in
The driveway, side passage and narrowest point from the street, with any turns, overhead wires or shared driveways.
- Example · Lane Cove West

What has to stay
Trees, fences, retaining walls and anything shared with the neighbours.
Plans or reports
Plans, approvals or an asbestos report as a PDF, if you have them. No plans is fine too.
Suspect asbestos? Photograph where it is, then leave it alone. Only a laboratory test confirms asbestos, and a sample is never something to take yourself.
No photos to hand? Send the form anyway or call to talk it through. We’ll arrange any site assessment needed for a written quote.

Customer reviews
Good work.
In their words.
They were so helpful, came out and gave us a quote. This helped us a lot!
Their quote was competitive, and the team worked to schedule and were happy to answer all our questions in the lead-up to and during the job. They were recommended by our builder.
Very honest company, no shock bills or excess variations.
Is a quote free?
Yes, you can request a free quote by phone or through our form. Separate testing, reports, professional advice and approval work can involve costs; agree these before commissioning them.
Can you identify asbestos in a photograph?
No. A photo shows us where the material is and how to reach it, but only a laboratory test confirms asbestos. Leave suspect material alone and don’t take a sample yourself.
Asbestos in a demolitionCan you coordinate with my builder or architect?
Yes. Send their plans and contact details with your enquiry, plus what they need the site to look like when we finish. Builders and certifiers we’ve worked with are on our about page.
About ActiveHow long will the job take?

Approvals come first. Provider lead times, weather and site conditions can extend the programme, so tell us when your builder needs the block. We confirm the timing for your job with the quote.
