Yes. NSW law requires asbestos testing for buildings built before 1990 if any structural work is planned. This includes renovations, demolition, and some types of maintenance.
Hazardous Removal Company sends a licensed asbestos assessor to your site, collects material samples, and tests them in a certified laboratory. We confirm whether asbestos is present, what type it is, and what action is legally required.
Buyers use our reports before signing property contracts. Builders and landlords use them to meet WHS obligations. Strata managers use them to update asbestos registers. Homeowners use them to plan safe upgrades.
Sydney homes and buildings built before 1990 often contain asbestos in roofing, eaves, bathroom walls, floor tiles, or fencing. You won’t see it with the naked eye. You can’t smell it. The only way to confirm asbestos is through testing by a licensed provider.
Hazardous Removal Company handles the entire process, from site check to certified report. We help clients avoid delays, legal issues, and exposure risks by getting it done properly.
What Does Asbestos Testing Include and How Long Does It Take?
Hazardous Removal Company completes asbestos testing in five steps. The process takes 1–3 days, depending on the number of samples and lab demand.
- A licensed asbestos technician visits your site.
- We collect samples using approved handling protocols.
- Samples go to a NATA-accredited laboratory using PLM (Polarised Light Microscopy) or DS (Dispersion Staining).
- The lab confirms if asbestos is present and identifies the type.
- We send a full written report with compliance advice and risk level.
We test bonded asbestos, friable asbestos, and all common construction materials. We do not use kits. All testing meets NSW SafeWork and WHS laws.
Every report includes:
- Clear identification of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- Sample locations
- Material types and asbestos category
- Legal guidance for removal, encapsulation, or monitoring
Our team doesn’t leave you with raw data. We explain the next legal step based on your building type and use case. You can use our reports to satisfy council requests, builders, or WHS inspectors. You can also proceed to safe removal if needed.
Hazardous Removal Company provides certified asbestos testing in Sydney starting from $250 for one sample. Multi-sample jobs cost $400–$700, depending on size, urgency, and site access.
Our price includes:
- On-site sample collection by a licensed assessor
- NATA-accredited lab testing (PLM or DS methods)
- 24–72 hour turnaround
- Full legal report with compliance details
Urgent or after-hours testing is available on request. We charge a clear rate for faster turnaround, and we disclose all pricing upfront.
Clients often compare this with DIY kits. DIY kits are cheaper, but they can’t be used for legal compliance in NSW. They also carry handling risks and often fail to detect bonded asbestos. Our testing meets all legal requirements and is accepted for demolition, renovations, council approvals, and WHS records.
If asbestos is found, you can move forward with removal, encapsulation, or air monitoring. If it isn’t, we document that too, which protects you when selling or leasing.
We cover all of Greater Sydney, including Parramatta, Northmead, Engadine, Bondi, Hornsby, and the Central Coast.
