Asbestos Abatement
Safe removal and management of asbestos-containing materials using controlled procedures, proper containment, and compliant disposal methods.
Overview
Asbestos can be present in a wide range of building materials, particularly in older properties. When disturbed, it must be handled carefully to prevent fibres from spreading.
We identify where asbestos is present, assess its condition, and determine whether it should be removed or left in place under controlled conditions.
Inspection & Testing
Before any work begins, materials are evaluated to confirm the presence of asbestos and understand how they may react if disturbed.
Inspection focuses on:
Sampling and laboratory analysis
Identifying affected materials and areas
Air testing where required
Assessing condition and potential exposure risk
The information gathered during this stage will guide how the work is planned and carried out.
Removal & Control
The method used depends on the type of material, its condition, and whether it will be disturbed during the project.
Abatement generally includes:
Full removal of asbestos-containing materials
Sealing or enclosing materials that can remain in place
Controlled handling to limit fibre release
These approaches are applied to materials such as insulation, flooring, drywall compounds, fireproofing, and mechanical components.
Containment
To keep fibres from spreading, work areas are isolated from the rest of the property.
Containment measures include:
Negative air enclosures and sealed work zones
Decontamination units for personnel and equipment
Continuous air monitoring where required
Final air clearance testing prior to re-occupancy
These containment measures keep the impact limited to the immediate work zone.
Disposal
Asbestos waste is handled under regulated procedures throughout the abatement process. See our Hazardous Waste Disposal page.
