Asbestos removal and disposal

At Asbestos Watch Brisbane, the cost of asbestos removal is $50-80 per square metre. Removal costs of asbestos depend on many varying factors, such as the type, amount, and condition of the asbestos.

Asbestos fibres are a group of natural minerals that many construction companies used to roof and insulate homes from the 1940s until the 1980s. At the time, builders believed that it was a great material due to its affordability and heat resistance. However, scientists have since discovered many health hazards surrounding asbestos.

Asbestos wears over time and releases fibres that are extremely harmful to the lungs. If you still have asbestos on or in your home or commercial building, removing it is essential to make sure your family, neighbours, or workers stay safe.

You should never try to tackle a removal by yourself. Contracting licensed professionals with experience is your best bet at saving time, money, and stress—and staying healthy. Whether you have asbestos on your roof or in your walls or ceilings, Asbestos Watch Brisbane offers inspections and removals at reasonable prices.

Factors That Influence Asbestos Removal Costs in Brisbane

Our licensed asbestos removalists will inspect your property to give you a removal quote, as every property’s case is unique. Here are some of the factors that will affect the cost of removing asbestos:
  • The condition and state: We need to determine if it is friable asbestos or non-friable asbestos
  • The amount of asbestos: The larger the job, your cost-per-square-metre will decrease
  • The type of material: Asbestos roofing may be more complicated than fencing, for example
  • The location: If limited access exists to your site or home, this increases the cost
  • The amount of damage done before removal
  • Any other obstacles that hinder the process
