asbestos testing and removal
Comprehensive asbestos testing followed by licensed removal and EPA‑compliant disposal — Australia‑wide.
We test first, remove safely. Clear results, clear records, and direct contact with our experienced team — not a call centre.
Testing before removal reduces risk and ensures compliant, safe work.
Why you should test before you remove asbestos
Not all older building materials are obviously asbestos — testing tells you what you’re dealing with so removal is performed safely and legally. Removing materials without confirmed testing can expose you, your family, contractors and neighbours to hazardous fibres.
C&A provides safe on‑site sampling, rapid laboratory analysis and a clear written report. If asbestos is present, our licensed removal team coordinates a controlled removal, containment, transport and EPA‑compliant disposal with full documentation.
We follow Safe Work Australia's Code of Practice, use wet methods, appropriate PPE and containment zones, and offer post‑removal cleaning and air monitoring on request.
Testing + Licensed removal — our complete service
From safe sampling and independent analysis to licensed removal, disposal paperwork and optional clearance testing — we manage the whole job so you don’t have to.
Safe sampling & testing
On‑site sampling by trained technicians using containment and single‑use sampling kits. Samples sent for independent laboratory analysis with a written report.
Licensed asbestos removal
If testing confirms asbestos, our licensed removalists set up containment, use wet methods and PPE, and remove materials safely with minimal disruption.
Disposal & documentation
All waste is double‑bagged, transported to licensed facilities and accompanied by disposal paperwork so you have a complete audit trail for sale, renovation or compliance.
How testing and removal works
Phone assessment & booking
Call or email with details and photos. We’ll advise whether sampling is necessary and arrange a convenient time for on‑site sampling or inspection.
Controlled sampling & lab analysis
Technicians take sealed samples using safe techniques. Samples are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis and you receive a clear written report of results.
If asbestos is present — licensed removal
We prepare a risk control plan, set up containment, use wet methods and PPE, remove materials, and double‑bag and label waste on site.
Transport, disposal & clearance
Waste is taken to an EPA‑licensed facility with disposal paperwork provided. We can arrange post‑removal cleaning and independent air monitoring if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to test before removing suspected asbestos?
Yes. Testing confirms whether material contains asbestos and determines the correct removal method. Removing materials without testing risks releasing fibres and may lead to unsafe or non‑compliant work.
How long do lab results take?
Most standard asbestos analyses are returned within a few business days. We can advise faster turnaround options if the job is urgent.
If a sample is positive, can I remove it myself?
DIY removal of confirmed asbestos is strongly discouraged and in many cases requires a licensed removalist by law. We recommend engaging licensed professionals to ensure safe removal, transport and disposal.
Do you provide clearance testing after removal?
Yes. We can arrange post‑removal cleaning and independent air monitoring/clearance testing through qualified hygienists if required by your project or regulator.
