In the mid to late part of the last century, asbestos, a naturally occurring element, gained great popularity within the construction industry due to its inert and durable nature. Asbestos delivered on many fronts, offering super insulating properties whilst also being fire resistant and largely unaffected by chemicals, and was consequently widely used in walls, floors, ceilings and rooves in both residential and commercial premises.

However, this was all before the deadly nature of asbestos was discovered towards the end of the last century, when the use and disposal of asbestos became subject to legislation. Asbestos, when disturbed, releases tiny fibres into the air which are easily inhaled by those in the vicinity – and even in small quantities can result in asbestosis and 2 common types of cancer, which are nearly always fatal. And despite strict regulations surrounding asbestos about 4000 Australians a year still die from asbestos related conditions.

Asbestos Professionals is an Australian owned and run enterprise which is a leading asbestos removal company serving Sydney and surrounding areas, that is staffed by highly experienced and qualified operatives that have dealt with asbestos in all of its forms. If your building was constructed prior to the end of the 1980’s there is a pretty good chance that asbestos was incorporated somewhere within the build and if it hasn’t since been professional removed, its presence remains a significant threat.

The only sure-fire way to confirm the presence of asbestos in your building is to have a professional inspection and test, and at Asbestos Professionals we provide an asbestos inspection and sample testing service for Sydney at a cost that is both affordable and competitive. And should asbestos be detected, our team have over 20 years’ experience in the safe handling and removal of the hazardous material. Whether you have asbestos in your walls, floors or ceilings or require asbestos roof removal services in Sydney, we have the skill set required and are fully compliant with the SafeWork NSW Code of Practice and Regulations pertaining to asbestos.

There are unfortunately some circumstances when it is virtually impossible or completely impractical to remove asbestos, but the latent and inherent threat can be overcome with the use of encapsulation. This is a fairly straightforward process that involves the application of liquid chemicals that bind the fibres of asbestos together inhibiting their potential release into the atmosphere.

In some circumstances, land around an area where asbestos has been used may have become contaminated and unsafe for normal use. Again, at Asbestos Professionals we can take care of this for you, with our expert contaminated soil and land remediation service in Sydney. Remediation is the cleansing and sometimes replacement of soil to bring it back to what would be considered a similar ecological standard that was evident before contamination.

There are virtually no circumstances where it is advisable or permissible for you to deal with asbestos on your own.
