Asbestos Removal in Brisbane

Asbestos removal for Brisbane homes and buildings

Hazclear Environmental provides licensed asbestos removal across the Brisbane metropolitan area. We hold both Class A (friable) and Class B (bonded) removal licences and deliver removal works for residential, commercial and construction projects.

Brisbane’s housing stock contains some of the highest volumes of asbestos-containing materials in Queensland. Renovation, demolition and infill development across the city means asbestos removal is an ongoing requirement. Hazclear is based in Brisbane and removes asbestos from homes, commercial buildings, schools, public buildings and construction sites across the entire metro area.

Common removal projects in Brisbane

Residential renovations

Bathroom and kitchen renovations, re-roofing, extensions, internal strip-outs and full demolitions on pre-2004 Brisbane homes. The most commonly removed materials are flat fibre-cement wall and ceiling linings, eaves panels, wet-area sheeting, vinyl floor tiles and electrical backing boards. A detailed explanation of how removal works is available in our asbestos removal guide.

Commercial fit-outs and demolition

Strip-outs, refurbishments and demolitions on commercial buildings in Brisbane. Older office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses and industrial facilities commonly contain asbestos in wall linings, fire doors, service risers, ceiling tiles and floor coverings. Hazclear coordinates removal works within the project programme and provides full clearance certification.

Friable removal

Friable asbestos removal is carried out under Class A controls with a sealed enclosure, negative pressure, three-stage decontamination, continuous air monitoring and independent clearance. Friable materials found in Brisbane properties include pipe lagging, sprayed coatings, insulation and severely degraded bonded material.

Roofing

Removal of corrugated asbestos cement roofing, ridge capping and eaves from Brisbane homes. Roof removals are commonly coordinated with the homeowner’s roofing contractor so the re-roofing follows directly after clearance.

Soil and site remediation

Removal of asbestos-contaminated soil on Brisbane development sites, construction sites and properties where buried building material or contaminated fill has been identified.

What is included

Every removal project in Brisbane includes notification to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, a site-specific Asbestos Removal Control Plan, barricading and signage, the removal work, decontamination, double-wrapped waste, regulated waste transport and disposal at a licensed facility, clearance inspection and full project documentation including clearance certificate, waste tracking certificates and disposal records.

If you need testing before removal, this is quoted separately. If you already have a current asbestos report, the removal is scoped and quoted from the findings.

A general guide to removal pricing is available on our cost guide page.
