What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral made up of tiny fibres. When disturbed, it may produce dust containing asbestos fibres. Breathing these fibres into the lungs may, in turn, cause a range of health problems, including pleural plaques, asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials between the 1940s and the late 1980s. It was used because it is fire-resistant, durable, and an efficient insulating material. Now that we are aware of the health risks, it is no longer mined in Australia. Since the beginning of 2004, it has also not been imported or used in any Australian products.

Asbestos services we provide include:

  • Non-friable asbestos removal
