Asbestos Removal Parramatta
Hazardous Removal Company is a licensed asbestos removal contractor serving Parramatta and the surrounding Western Sydney suburbs. Parramatta has one of the largest concentrations of fibro, weatherboard and mid-century brick homes in Sydney, and many of those properties still contain asbestos in walls, eaves, roof sheeting, garages and bathrooms. Whether you are planning a renovation, buying an older home, or managing a commercial site, we handle the full job from testing through to clearance certification.
Most Parramatta properties built before 1990 have asbestos somewhere on site. The risk is not the material itself sitting undisturbed. The risk is what happens when you drill, cut, sand, demolish or knock a panel accidentally. That is when fibres release into the air and become dangerous to you and your family.
Our team covers every part of the removal process for local residents and business owners:
- Asbestos testing and sampling before any work starts, with NATA-accredited laboratory analysis
- Bonded asbestos removal for fibro walls, eaves, cement sheeting and roof sheeting
- Friable asbestos removal for loose insulation, damaged ceiling materials and heat-exposed products
- Bathroom asbestos removal before renovation work begins
- Garage and shed asbestos removal for older outbuildings
- Air monitoring during removal to protect occupants and neighbours
- Clearance certificates issued by licensed assessors once the site is safe
- Legal disposal at EPA-approved facilities with full transport documentation

Why Parramatta Residents Choose HRC
Parramatta sits at the centre of Sydney’s older housing belt. Suburbs like Harris Park, Westmead, North Parramatta, Granville and Rydalmere all have significant numbers of pre-1990 homes. We have worked across this region for years and understand the specific materials and construction methods used in local properties.
Four things our Parramatta clients consistently point to:
- Licensed and certified. We hold SafeWork NSW licence AD213403. We carry both Class A (friable) and Class B (non-friable) capabilities. Our licence number is visible on every quote.
- Straight answers. If you suspect asbestos, we do asbestos testing first and give you a clear written result. No scare tactics, no upselling, no pressure.
- Written quotes, itemised pricing. You see exactly what you are paying for. No call-out fees hidden in the invoice. If you want a ballpark first, our asbestos removal costs page explains how pricing works.
- Full documentation. Every job finishes with proper paperwork: test results, air monitoring records, clearance certificates, and disposal receipts. This protects you for insurance, council requirements and future property sale.
Parramatta was one of the fastest-growing residential hubs in Sydney during the 1950s to 1980s, right through the period when asbestos building products were in heavy use. Fibro sheeting was common in exterior walls, eaves and garages. Asbestos cement was standard in bathroom wet walls and laundry floors. Vinyl floor tiles and their adhesive often contained asbestos. Roof sheeting on older garages and sheds frequently used fibrous cement.
Add to this the ongoing renovation and demolition activity across Parramatta CBD, Harris Park, Westmead and surrounding suburbs, and you have a high background level of asbestos risk that homeowners, tradespeople and site managers need to take seriously.
The 2024 mulch contamination events in Western Sydney also raised awareness around soil contamination. If you are doing landscaping or excavation on an older Parramatta site, soil testing should be on your checklist.
Our Process, From First Call to Clearance
Every Parramatta job follows the same straightforward sequence:
- Site inspection. We come out, look at the suspected material, and explain what we see. This is free.
- Testing. A small sample goes to a NATA-accredited lab. You get the result in writing, usually within a few business days.
- Written quote. If removal is needed, we give you an itemised quote with the licence number, scope of work, timeline and all compliance costs included.
- Asbestos removal control plan. Before work starts, we prepare the required SafeWork NSW control plan. For jobs over 10m², this is a legal requirement.
- Safe removal. Our licensed team removes the material using the correct PPE, containment and decontamination procedures. For bigger jobs, we run air monitoring throughout.
- Legal disposal. The waste is double-bagged, labelled, and transported directly to an EPA-approved facility.
- Clearance certificate. A licensed assessor inspects the site and issues the clearance certificate. You keep this for your records.
