Suspecting asbestos in your property? Don’t take risks or try to remove it yourself. Asbestos is made up of dangerous fibres that can cause serious health issues when disturbed or mishandled. Handling asbestos requires expertise, the right equipment, and strict safety measures to ensure it is removed safely and in compliance with regulations.
Our licensed professionals are trained to identify, contain, and safely dispose of asbestos, so you can avoid the health risks associated with exposure. Let us take care of the tough work, leaving you with peace of mind and a safer environment.
Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure
Exposure to asbestos fibres is highly dangerous and can result in severe health problems. The risks of improper handling include:
- Asbestosis: A serious lung disease that makes it hard to breathe.
- Mesothelioma: A rare, aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs and abdomen.
- Lung cancer: Significantly increased risk, particularly for smokers.
Asbestos exposure can also lead to:
- Pleural thickening and plaques: Conditions that impair lung function.

Our frequently asked questions
Should I be worried about Asbestos?
Asbestos isn’t dangerous unless it’s disturbed and the fibres are inhaled. That’s why it’s crucial to test your Sunshine Coast property for asbestos before starting any renovation or construction work.
Common in building materials from the 1940s to the early 1990s, asbestos was used in a variety of applications, including roofing, wall cladding, ceilings, and eaves. If your home was built before 1990, there’s a good chance asbestos-containing materials may still be present.
What’s the difference between bonded and friable asbestos?
Bonded asbestos is securely bound within materials like cement or resin, making it relatively stable. It is less likely to release harmful fibres unless disturbed or damaged. Friable asbestos, on the other hand, is more dangerous because it can easily crumble or break apart. This releases tiny fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and pose a significant risk to your health. This type of asbestos requires more careful handling and removal due to its higher risk of fibre release.
Where does asbestos waste go?
Asbestos waste must be disposed of at specialised facilities that are licensed to handle hazardous materials. We follow all local regulations to ensure proper containment, transport and disposal, ensuring that the asbestos is safely removed from your property without posing any further risk to health or the environment.
How do I know if I have asbestos roofing materials?
If your property was built before the 1990s, there is a high chance that you have asbestos in your roof sheets or other building materials. Asbestos was commonly used in roof sheeting due to its durability and fire-resistant properties. If you suspect you have asbestos roofing, it’s important to have a professional inspection to confirm its presence before any work is carried out.
