asbestos cladding removal
Safe, licensed removal of pre-1990 asbestos cladding from Australian homes — full containment, wet-methods, and EPA‑compliant disposal.
Licensed, insured and compliant with Safe Work Australia guidance
What is asbestos cladding and why it matters
Many Australian homes built before the early 1990s used asbestos-containing cement sheeting — commonly called "fibro" — as external cladding, wall linings and decorative shingles. Over time cladding can weather, crack or be damaged during renovations, increasing the risk of asbestos fibres becoming airborne.
Disturbing cladding without correct controls can release hazardous asbestos fibres. C&A Asbestos Removal offers expert residential cladding removal so you can renovate or sell with confidence and full documentation.
Common pre-1990 cladding we remove
We specialise in identifying and removing the types of cladding most likely to contain asbestos.
Fibro sheet cladding
Flat and corrugated asbestos cement sheets used as external walls and weatherboards.
Shingle & tile cladding
Asbestos cement shingles and decorative tiles commonly used on older homes.
Eaves, soffits & internal linings
Hidden linings and eaves can contain asbestos and are removed safely and documented.
Our safe, compliant cladding removal process
Site assessment & identification
We assess the property, confirm whether cladding contains asbestos (or arrange sample testing), and advise on access, containment and cost options — including our fixed-price offer where applicable.
Risk controls and containment
We set up controlled zones, use drop-sheets, negative pressure where required, and ensure neighbours and indoor spaces are protected before any work starts.
Wet-method removal & PPE
We remove cladding using wet methods to suppress fibres, hand-remove panels where possible, and use full PPE and trained techniques to minimise airborne contamination.
Double-bagging & licensed disposal
All waste is double-bagged, labelled and transported to EPA‑licensed facilities. We provide full disposal documentation for your records.
Clean-up & certification
We complete a thorough clean, provide clearance documentation, and can coordinate independent air monitoring if required to confirm the site is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my cladding contains asbestos?
If your home was built before the early 1990s, cladding may contain asbestos. We can inspect, identify likely ACMs and arrange laboratory testing if required before any removal.
Can you provide a fixed-price quote?
Yes — for many straightforward residential cladding jobs we provide written fixed-price quotes following a site assessment. Contact us to arrange an inspection or send photos for an initial assessment.
Is DIY cladding removal safe or legal?
DIY removal of asbestos cladding is strongly discouraged and can be illegal depending on state regulations and the amount of material. Incorrect handling risks contamination—use a licensed removalist like C&A.
What documentation will I receive after removal?
You will receive a removal scope, waste disposal dockets from the licensed facility, and a job completion checklist. Independent air monitoring can be arranged if required for formal clearance.
