Commercial procedures

To minimise the possibility of releasing respirable asbestos fibres, the following general guidelines regarding asbestos-containing products should be observed at all times:

  • All asbestos containing materials should be kept in good repair
  • Asbestos containing materials should never be tooled, cut, sanded, abraded, machined, or subjected to excessive vibration
  • Personnel should be advised of the presence and location of asbestos containing materials in the workplace. It could be known as a hazardous materials register or Part 5 or Part 6 Audit document. It will generally locate, rate and have sample results of items possibly containing asbestos and other hazardous materials. You should find a suitably competent and experienced person or company to do the audits and registers.
  • Areas containing friable or damaged asbestos materials should be isolated from personnel As far as is praticable all asbestos containing materials should be appropriately labelled Consideration should be given to replacement of all asbestos containing materials (particularly friable materials) with non-asbestos containing alternatives, whenever and wherever this is practicable

When planning your asbestos removal, it is important to follow the guidelines relating to your State and Local Council regulations.

Commercial Properties

When planning to remove asbestos contaminated products from your commercial property it is important that you have a Hazardous Materials audit done on the property to ensure that you have identified all areas that contain asbestos materials. You need to find a NATA certified environmental Company. They will come out and do a visual site inspection and take samples of suspect materials. They will test sample pieces in their laboratory and produce a report detailing there findings. The cost for this is dependant upon the size of the property and the extent of the hazardous materials. Once you have a copy of this report you can contact us to obtain a fixed price quotation for its removal and disposal. It would be helpful if you have photos of the property that you can provide us with. We base our pricing on the total number of square metres to be removed. If you can provide us with the length and height of each wall/roof we can work it out for you. We can then provide you with a written quotation setting out, in detail, the procedure we follow to ensure optimal safety during removal. We require not less than five (5) working days notice to enable us to submit the necessary documents to the relevant Government departments (depending on which State the project is for). There is an emergency 24 hour notification should your asbestos material be damaged and in a dangerous condition. We can discuss this with you at the time of your enquiry.

Procedures

When planning your asbestos removal, it is important to follow the guidelines relating to your State or Territory and Local Council regulations.

Residential Properties

When planning to remove asbestos contaminated products from your residential property all we need to know from you is the length and height of each wall to be removed or length and width, if removing a roof. We calculate our pricing based on the total number of square metres.

We will ask you a series of other questions and then provide you with a verbal and/or written quotation. Some of the questions will be:

  • Is the roof flat or pitched?
  • Is the property vacant or occupied?
  • Is there power and water to the property?
  • How far off the ground is the roof?
  • Is there easy access to the removal location?
  • Is there clear access to all walls?

Our Company requires not less than five (5) working days notice to enable us to submit the necessary documents to the relevant Government departments (depending on which State the project is for). There is a provision for 24 hour notification should your non-friable asbestos material be under 10m². There is also provision for certain ‘unexpected situations’. We suggest you contact our office if you believe your project falls under this provision. We can discuss this with you at the time of your enquiry. Click here for a quote.

Asbestos Sealing

If you are not in a position to remove and dispose of your bonded (non-friable) asbestos materials you could look into the possibility of sealing it. This will assist in reducing any possible asbestos dust fibres being released another alternative to removing and disposing of your asbestos sheeting could be to have it sealed to reduce the risk of dust exposure.

We can seal the exposed asbestos sheeting with a specialized asbestos sealant. This sealant is specially formulated to penetrate into the sheet to lock in the asbestos fibres. This will minimize any dust being generated if the sheets get broken. Once a sheet is cracked or broken it still needs to be replaced immediately.

  • We can either spray or paint on the product and this would depend on accessibility.
  • This sealer comes in clear liquid form.
  • We can provide you with a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet on this product.
  • If there are broken or badly damaged sheets, they need to be replaced prior to the sealing being started.
  • The sealing is usually conducted in conjunction with the decontamination process.
  • Contact us if you would like more information about the sealing process.
