Why removing asbestos from your home matters
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were used widely in Australian homes built before the 1990s. When intact and undisturbed they may pose low risk, but damaged or disturbed asbestos can release microscopic fibres that remain airborne and cause serious long-term health issues if inhaled.
Safe removal by a licensed team reduces risk, ensures legal disposal at EPA-licensed facilities, and provides you with the documentation required for future property sales or renovations.
Where asbestos is commonly found in homes
Homeowners frequently find asbestos in a range of domestic locations — recognise the common spots so you can act safely.
Interior linings
Wall and ceiling sheeting, textured ceilings (popcorn or artex), lino backing and some adhesives used in renovations.
Bathrooms & laundries
Older wet areas sometimes used fibrous cement backer boards and vinyl adhesives that contain asbestos.
Eaves, roofs & soffits
Corrugated cement sheeting, soffit panels and some roof underlay materials in pre-1990 homes.
Floors, adhesives & cladding
Vinyl floor backing, cement sheet cladding and some external panels may contain asbestos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is asbestos commonly found inside houses?
Common internal locations include ceilings and textured finishes, cement sheet wall linings, vinyl flooring backings, and some wet-area backer boards. If your home was built or renovated before the early 1990s, be cautious and get an assessment.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
DIY removal is strongly discouraged and may be illegal depending on the amount and type of material. Improper removal increases the risk of fibre release. Use a licensed professional like C&A to ensure safe removal and lawful disposal.
Will you provide disposal documentation?
Yes. All asbestos waste is double-bagged, transported to EPA‑licensed facilities and accompanied by disposal dockets. You receive full paperwork upon job completion for your records or to present to a certifier or buyer.
How much does residential asbestos removal cost?
Price depends on the amount, access, material condition and whether sampling is required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and will explain the cost breakdown so you can make an informed decision.
Do you arrange independent air monitoring?
Yes — for projects that require post‑removal verification, we can coordinate an independent hygienist to perform air monitoring and provide clearance certificates when needed.
