Asbestos Removal Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains contains significant quantities of older housing, including heritage cottages and post-war homes that commonly contain asbestos. The region's bushfire risk also means many properties require asbestos assessment and removal as part of rebuilding or renovation work.

Our team services the entire Blue Mountains region, from Glenbrook to Lithgow, providing residential and commercial asbestos removal services.

Blue Mountains housing runs from weatherboard and timber cottages to post-war brick and fibro homes and weekenders built in stages by their owners. Asbestos shows up in wall and ceiling sheeting, in the linings around slow-combustion heaters and chimneys, in enclosed verandahs and under-house rooms dug into the slope, and in sheds, garages and water tank stands. Older cottages often have several generations of sheeting layered on top of each other.

Mountains properties bring access problems that flat suburbs do not. Steep driveways, long sets of stairs, narrow streets and bushland setbacks all affect how material can be carried out and where a truck can stand. We assess access at the quoting stage rather than on the day, so the price and the method reflect the site, and we carry equipment in and waste out without damaging gardens, retaining walls or the surrounding bush.

After a fire, asbestos becomes a rebuilding issue. Burnt asbestos cement is fragile and can be friable, so fire-damaged sheeting, debris and contaminated soil must be handled by licensed removalists before any clean-up or rebuilding begins. We work with owners, builders and insurers across the Blue Mountains to clear damaged material safely, document the removal for the claim, and leave a site the rebuild can actually start on.
