asbestos stripping

We provide full asbestos stripping services — from risk assessment and containment through to double-bagging, EPA-approved transport and disposal, plus documentation for your records.
Licensed removal — follows Safe Work Australia Code of Practice
Why you may need asbestos stripping
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are common in pre-1990 Australian buildings — ceilings, wall linings, roofing, and insulation can all contain friable or bonded asbestos. When these materials are disturbed during renovation, demolition or deterioration, dangerous fibres can be released.
Asbestos stripping is the controlled removal of ACMs prior to refurbishment or demolition. The process reduces airborne fibre risk by using professional containment, wet methods and licensed disposal pathways.
Our asbestos stripping process — step by step
Transparent, documented work so you know exactly what happens on site.
1. Initial assessment & quote
We assess drawings, photographs or visit the site to identify potential ACMs. You receive a clear, no-obligation quote that outlines scope, access requirements and timeline.
2. Risk assessment and clearance plan
We prepare a site-specific asbestos removal control plan, including air monitoring requirements, PPE, exclusion zones and waste handling procedures to meet WHS regulations.
3. Wet-method stripping and controlled removal
We suppress fibres with wet methods, carefully remove ACMs piece-by-piece, and immediately bag materials. For friable asbestos we use negative-pressure enclosures when required.
4. Double-bagging, labelling & transport
All waste is double-bagged, labelled and sealed on site. We use licensed transport to take materials to EPA-approved disposal facilities — you get full tracking and disposal certificates.
5. Site clean, clearance and documentation
After removal we perform a thorough clean and provide documentation. If required, we coordinate independent air monitoring and issue clearance certificates on completion.
Containment measures we use
- Establish exclusion zones and signage to keep workers and public away.
- Use of negative-pressure enclosures and HEPA-filtered extraction for friable asbestos jobs.
- Wetting down ACMs during stripping to suppress dust and fibres.
- Strict PPE protocols (disposable suits, P2/P3 respirators) and dedicated decontamination areas.
- Double-bagging, labelling and secure storage of waste until transfer to licensed transport.
Our teams follow Safe Work Australia guidance and local WHS rules for every job — safety is our highest priority.
EPA-compliant disposal and record-keeping

Frequently Asked Questions
What is asbestos stripping and how is it different from removal?
Asbestos stripping typically refers to the systematic removal of asbestos-containing linings, insulation or finishes from a building prior to renovation or demolition. The methods and controls are the same as removal — planning, containment, wet methods, bagging and licensed disposal — but stripping is often used for internal finish materials and large-scale take-outs.
Is asbestos stripping safe for occupants?
When performed by licensed professionals using proper containment, wet suppression and decontamination, asbestos stripping is safe. We establish exclusion zones and, where required, arrange temporary relocation or isolate work areas to protect occupants.
How long does a typical strip-out take?
Timeframes vary by scope, access and whether friable materials are involved. Small residential jobs can be completed in a day or two; larger internal strip-outs or commercial projects may take longer. We'll give an estimated schedule when we quote.
Do you provide disposal documentation?
Yes — every job includes chain-of-custody records and disposal certificates from EPA-licensed facilities. We also provide a written summary of work completed and recommendations for any further testing or monitoring.
