Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my property has asbestos?
Asbestos was widely used in Wollongong homes and buildings built before 1990. Common locations include eaves, roofing, wall sheeting, and vinyl floor tiles. Because asbestos fibres can’t be identified by sight alone, professional testing is needed. Licensed asbestos removalists can take samples and arrange lab analysis. If asbestos is confirmed, they’ll provide a plan for safe removal and disposal. Identifying asbestos early prevents accidental exposure and ensures compliance during renovation or demolition work.
Is asbestos removal dangerous?
Asbestos removal can be hazardous if not managed properly. When disturbed, asbestos fibres become airborne and can be inhaled, leading to serious health issues such as asbestosis or mesothelioma. Licensed asbestos removalists in Wollongong are trained to use protective equipment, specialised tools and containment systems that keep fibres from spreading. Waste is sealed, labelled and transported to licensed facilities. Using professionals reduces risks dramatically and ensures all legal and safety requirements are met.
Do I need council approval for asbestos removal?
In Wollongong, small amounts of non-friable asbestos (under 10 square metres) can sometimes be removed without council approval. Larger jobs, or friable asbestos removal, always require licensed contractors and may need council notification. Licensed operators manage the paperwork and ensure compliance with both SafeWork NSW and local regulations. Engaging professionals ensures the removal is completed safely, legally and without unexpected delays, allowing renovations or demolition to move forward as planned.
How much does asbestos removal cost?
The cost of asbestos removal in Wollongong depends on factors such as the type of asbestos, the amount present, and site access. Non-friable asbestos, such as wall sheeting, is often less expensive to remove than friable asbestos, which requires more controls. Costs also include disposal at licensed facilities. Getting an inspection and detailed quote from a licensed contractor ensures you understand the price upfront and avoid hidden costs.
