removal of asbestos fence
Safe, licensed dismantling and EPA-compliant disposal of pre-1990 fibrous cement fence panels across Australia.
Licensed removalists, EPA disposal and full paperwork provided.
Why pre-1990 fence panels are hazardous
Fibrous cement fencing manufactured before the early 1990s frequently contains asbestos. When intact and left undisturbed these panels can be low risk — but once cracked, cut, drilled or removed, microscopic asbestos fibres can become airborne and present a serious long-term health risk.
Disturbing panels during DIY removal, demolition or renovations without correct controls can expose you, your family, neighbours and trades to asbestos fibres. Licensed removal with wet methods, containment and correct disposal is the safe option.
C&A Asbestos Removal follows Safe Work Australia guidance, uses appropriate PPE, wet suppression and double-bagging, and transports waste to EPA-authorised facilities. We provide clear communication and the disposal documentation you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fence contains asbestos?
Fibrous cement panels from before the early 1990s are likely to contain asbestos. A visual check isn't conclusive — if in doubt, don't disturb the fence. Call us for advice or arrange a professional inspection or sample testing.
Is DIY fence removal allowed?
DIY removal is strongly discouraged and can be illegal depending on jurisdiction and quantity. Incorrect handling can release fibres and put people at risk. Hiring licensed professionals ensures legal compliance and safe outcomes.
How is the waste disposed of?
We use wet methods, double-bag and label all asbestos waste on site. Waste is transported only to EPA-licensed disposal facilities, and you receive all disposal documentation when the job is complete.
How much will it cost to remove my asbestos fence?
Cost depends on fence length, panel condition, access, and location. We provide a free, no-obligation quote — call 0426 366 938 or request a quote online and we'll give you a clear estimate after assessing the site.
