asbestos tiles removal
Safe removal of vinyl floor tiles, ceiling tiles and acoustic panels in homes — licensed, compliant and fully documented.
If you’ve found old floor or ceiling tiles in a pre-1990 home, don’t risk DIY removal. C&A Asbestos Removal offers fixed-price, residential asbestos tile removal with professional containment, wet methods, and EPA-compliant disposal.
Licensed removalists — we follow Safe Work Australia and EPA guidelines
Why asbestos tiles are a hidden risk in homes
Asbestos-containing tiles were commonly used in Australian homes until the late 1980s. Over time tiles can become brittle, cracked or disturbed during renovations — releasing microscopic fibres that are harmful when inhaled.
Common situations where asbestos tiles are found:
- Renovations or floor replacements revealing original vinyl floor tiles
- Ceiling repairs exposing older acoustic or fibreboard ceiling tiles
- Water damage that crumbles tile backing or adhesives
C&A Asbestos Removal helps homeowners identify risk, safely remove tiles, and provide documented disposal to keep your family and property safe.
Common asbestos-containing tiles
We remove a wide range of tile types found in residential properties — both floors and ceilings.
Vinyl floor tiles
Often 9" or 12" tiles installed over older subfloors. Many vintage vinyl tiles contain asbestos in the backing or adhesive.
Ceiling & acoustic tiles
Square acoustic panels and fibreboard ceilings can contain asbestos fibres, especially where patched or painted over.
Backing sheets & adhesives
Asbestos can be present in backing sheets, underlay, or adhesives beneath modern-looking surfaces — assessment is essential.
How residential asbestos tile removal works
Free assessment & fixed-price quote
Call or email with photos and we’ll give an initial estimate. We provide a guaranteed fixed-price quote after a site inspection so there are no surprises.
Preparation & containment
We seal the work area with barrier sheeting, create a controlled zone, set up drop sheets, and, where required, use negative pressure units to prevent fibre escape.
Careful wet-method removal
Tiles are kept damp and lifted or scored to minimise dust. Work is carried out by trained technicians wearing appropriate PPE, including P2/P3 respirators and disposable overalls.
Double-bagging & labelling
All waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled on site, and stored safely prior to transport in accordance with EPA requirements.
Licensed transport & disposal
We transport waste to EPA-licensed facilities only and provide disposal dockets and paperwork for your records — essential for future renovations or property sales.
Final clean & handover
We perform a thorough clean of the area and provide a completion report, including disposal dockets and recommended next steps for any future works.
Safety, regulation and why documentation matters
C&A Asbestos Removal follows Safe Work Australia’s Code of Practice and state-based EPA requirements. We only carry out removals we are licensed to perform and use:
- Trained technicians and correct PPE (respirators, disposable suits, gloves)
- Wet methods and negative pressure where required to suppress fibres
- Double-bagging, labelling, and chain-of-custody documentation
- Transport to EPA-licensed disposal facilities only
- Clear reporting and disposal dockets provided on completion
Proper documentation protects homeowners during resale, renovations or property inspections. We make compliance simple — you get a fixed-price quote, professional removal, and paperwork you can rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my tiles contain asbestos?
Many tiles installed before the late 1980s contain asbestos. Identification often requires visual inspection and, in some cases, sampling by a licenced assessor or lab testing. We can advise and organise testing if needed.
Is it safe to remove tiles myself?
DIY removal is not recommended. Without proper containment, PPE and disposal arrangements, DIY removal can release fibres and breach local regulations. Use a licensed removalist for safe, compliant work.
What does disposal involve?
Waste is double-bagged, labelled and transported under chain-of-custody to EPA-licensed facilities. You will receive disposal dockets and documentation on job completion — essential for compliance and future property transactions.
How much will tile removal cost?
Cost varies with tile type, area size, access and disposal volume. We offer free assessments and provide a fixed-price quote so you know the total cost before work begins. Call us for a straightforward estimate.
