asbestos clearance inspection
Post-removal visual inspection and independent air monitoring with a formal clearance certificate you can rely on.
Licensed inspections aligned with Safe Work Australia guidance
Serving homeowners, renovators, strata and commercial clients across Australia — direct contact with our team, no call centre.
Why post-removal clearance inspection is essential
After asbestos removal, a visual clean-up alone is not enough to guarantee the area is safe. Disturbing asbestos can release microscopic fibres that remain airborne or settle into dust — fibres that are not visible to the naked eye.
A formal clearance inspection combines a detailed visual inspection with air monitoring performed by a trained hygienist or qualified tester. Only when both visual and analytical criteria are met can a formal clearance certificate be issued.
- Independent air sampling to check airborne asbestos fibres
- Visual inspection of all work and adjacent areas for residual debris
- Written clearance certificate and laboratory reports for your records
What we inspect and test
C&A coordinates and performs comprehensive clearance inspections tailored to your removal scope and property type.
Visual clearance inspection
A detailed walkthrough of the removal area and surrounding spaces to verify no visible debris, dust, or contaminated materials remain.
Air monitoring & laboratory testing
Sampling using calibrated pumps and lab analysis by NATA-accredited laboratories. Results are provided in a formal report with interpretation.
Clearance certificate & documentation
A formal written clearance certificate and copies of laboratory reports and chain-of-custody documentation for your records or to satisfy buyers/strata managers.
Project coordination
We coordinate with licensed asbestos removal teams and independent hygienists to schedule inspection and testing to minimise delays after the removal work is complete.
How asbestos clearance inspections work — step by step
Post-removal visual inspection
Our inspector checks the work area, containment zones and adjacent rooms for visible contamination and adherence to the removal scope.
Air monitoring is installed
Calibrated sampling pumps and filters are positioned in the affected area and other representative locations. Sampling duration and flow rates follow recognised protocols.
Laboratory analysis
Samples are sent to a NATA‑accredited laboratory for analysis. C&A provides chain-of-custody paperwork and interprets results once they return.
Clearance report & certification
When both visual inspection and air monitoring meet clearance criteria, we issue a formal clearance certificate and provide all supporting lab reports and disposal documentation.
Ongoing advice and record-keeping
We keep records and can advise on reoccupation times and any additional cleaning or testing recommended by the hygienist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a clearance inspection?
A clearance inspection typically includes a detailed visual inspection of the removal area, installation of air samplers where required, laboratory analysis of samples and a formal clearance certificate when criteria are met.
Who performs the air monitoring?
Air monitoring is performed by trained technicians or independent hygienists using calibrated equipment. C&A can coordinate an independent hygienist when required to ensure impartial testing and reporting.
How long until I get results and a clearance certificate?
Lab turnaround times vary. We prioritise faster analysis when requested and will provide provisional advice if immediate decisions are required. Final clearance certificates are issued once lab results confirm acceptable levels.
Do I need a clearance certificate after asbestos removal?
Yes — a clearance certificate provides documented proof that the area meets the required inspection and air monitoring standards. It’s often required for re-occupation, sale, or to satisfy strata and commercial compliance requirements.
Independent testing and full documentation you can trust
C&A follows Safe Work Australia guidance for asbestos management and partners with qualified hygienists and NATA‑accredited labs. We provide the paperwork you need — chain of custody, lab reports and a formal clearance certificate.
