Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my house has asbestos?
Asbestos was commonly used in Australian homes built before 1990, especially in roofing, wall sheeting, insulation, eaves, and vinyl flooring. Identifying asbestos by sight is difficult because it can look similar to other building materials. The safest way to confirm its presence is to have a licensed asbestos assessor take a sample for laboratory testing. If a home was constructed before 1990 and no records confirm it is asbestos-free, it is best to assume asbestos may be present and take precautions.
Can I remove asbestos myself in NSW?
In NSW, property owners can legally remove small amounts of bonded asbestos (up to 10 square metres) without a licence. However, this comes with significant risks if the material is not handled properly. Disturbing asbestos can release harmful fibres that remain airborne for long periods and pose serious health risks. For anything larger, or if the asbestos is friable (crumbly and easily airborne), only a licensed asbestos removalist can perform the work. Engaging a professional ensures safe removal, correct disposal, and compliance with NSW health and safety regulations.
How is asbestos safely disposed of after removal?
Asbestos waste must be double-bagged or wrapped in thick plastic sheeting, sealed, and clearly labelled before being transported to an approved asbestos disposal facility. Standard landfill or recycling centres cannot accept asbestos. Licensed removalists are trained to manage this process in line with NSW regulations, ensuring no fibres are released during transport. Once at the facility, asbestos is buried in designated secure cells to prevent future exposure. Correct disposal is a legal requirement, and failure to comply can result in heavy fines.
