Asbestos Removal Wollongong
Hazardous Removal Company provides licensed asbestos removal services in Wollongong with full compliance with SafeWork NSW regulations. We hold Class A & B licences for both friable and non-friable asbestos and offer complete inspection, removal, air monitoring, and certified disposal across residential, commercial, and industrial sites throughout the Illawarra.
Why safe asbestos removal in Wollongong requires more than “just getting rid of it.”
Licensed asbestos removal is a legal and safety-critical process that must follow strict NSW regulations. In Wollongong, many homes, sheds, and commercial structures built before 1990 contain asbestos materials, often in roof sheets, eaves, fences, and garages. These materials can pose serious health risks when disturbed, releasing airborne fibres linked to mesothelioma and lung disease.
SafeWork NSW law requires Class B licensing for non-friable asbestos removal over 10m² and Class A for friable materials like sprayed insulation or damaged sheeting. Attempting to remove asbestos without proper licensing or disposal routes can lead to heavy penalties and severe health risks. Our team ensures your site is legally cleared, safely decontaminated, and documented with an official clearance certificate where applicable.
Hazardous Removal Company uses a certified process involving NATA lab testing, PPE-sealed work zones, negative pressure enclosures (for friable jobs), and EPA-approved disposal methods. We don’t guess, we inspect, test, remove, and monitor to protect your property and people.
What types of asbestos do we remove from Wollongong homes, businesses, and worksites
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can appear in many locations across Wollongong properties, particularly in older fibro constructions. Our licensed removal team is qualified to manage both friable and bonded asbestos in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
We safely remove asbestos from:
- Roof sheeting – corrugated fibro, ridge capping
- Eaves and soffits – often overlooked but high-risk when drilled
- Internal walls and ceilings – sheeting and tiling systems
- Fences and boundary walls – particularly older compressed fibreboard styles
- Garages and sheds – often used unsealed or damaged materials
- Floor tiles and backing – sometimes hidden under vinyl coverings
- Soil contamination – broken fragments in fill or garden beds
Our removal method depends on the material’s friability, condition, and location. All work is documented and performed under legally required conditions, including full containment, wet removal techniques, and chain-of-custody disposal. We ensure Wollongong homeowners, property managers, and builders meet every compliance requirement, with no loose ends.
How our asbestos removal process works from first inspection to final clearance certificate
Hazardous Removal Company follows a proven, legally compliant workflow designed to eliminate exposure risks and guarantee site safety. Every step meets WHS Regulation 2017, SafeWork NSW code, and EPA transport and disposal standards.
We start by conducting a full visual inspection. If asbestos is suspected, samples are taken and tested at a NATA-accredited lab. Once confirmed, we issue a removal control plan based on material type, quantity, and access conditions. All work is carried out by Class A or B licensed removalists using site-specific PPE and engineering controls.
Our process includes:
- Visual Inspection – On-site identification of suspected ACMs
- NATA Lab Testing – 1–3 day turnaround with formal results
- Removal Plan – Detailed SafeWork-compliant method statement
- Containment Setup – Barriers, signage, and sealed zones
- Safe Removal – Wet method, HEPA vacuums, sealed bagging
- Air Monitoring – Required for friable jobs; ensures fibre clearance
- Clearance Certificate – Visual check + air sample by independent assessor
Finally, waste is transported to EPA-licensed facilities (e.g., P&D Envirotech) under strict documentation. We provide you with copies of all compliance paperwork, including disposal dockets, SafeWork notifications (if required), and clearance reports.
