Preparing Your Home Before Asbestos Removal

Before the asbestos removal job begins, homeowners must prepare their property to ensure efficiency and safety.

  • Remove furniture, personal belongings, or stored items near asbestos-containing materials such as walls, ceilings, flooring, or roofing.

  • Restrict access to the removal area by keeping children, pets, and unnecessary occupants away from the work zone.

  • Turn off ventilation and air-conditioning systems to prevent asbestos fibres from spreading through the building.

  • Be prepared to vacate the property for the duration of the work if the project involves large-scale asbestos removal.

Our company specialises in professional asbestos removal services and provides consultation and advice to help you prepare your home effectively. Taking these steps ensures the removalist team can begin the project promptly and without risk of unnecessary contamination.

Preparing for asbestos work, whether roofing or demolition related, doesn't have to be difficult. The ICON Asbestos Removal team will guide you through every step to keep the process safe and efficient. Contact us today for expert advice and reliable asbestos services.

When our professional, licensed asbestos removal team arrives at your property, the first stage involves a final assessment to confirm all hazardous material locations.

  • 1

    Inspection and Risk Assessment: Our experts verify where asbestos-containing materials are located (walls, roofing, flooring, etc.) and identify any additional contamination risks.

  • 2

    Site Containment: Barriers are installed, negative air systems are set up, and a secure container for asbestos waste is positioned for safe disposal.

  • 3

    Safety Briefing: The asbestos removal service plan is explained in detail, including safety procedures, removal methods, disposal strategies, and estimated completion time.

Every project is carried out under strict health and safety guidelines, with full public liability insurance covering each job. This ensures peace of mind for homeowners during the entire process.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Removal Process

Our asbestos removal service at ICON Asbestos Removal in Brisbane follows strict A-Class asbestos removal procedures designed to ensure you get compliance, safety, and efficiency.

  • Site Containment
    The affected area is sealed with barriers and air filtration units to prevent contamination of unaffected areas.

  • Material Removal
    Licensed asbestos removal specialists carefully remove asbestos materials. This includes bonded and friable asbestos in ceilings, roofing, flooring, cladding, wall panels, or insulation.

  • Decontamination and Disposal
    All asbestos waste is double-sealed, labelled as hazardous material, and placed in an approved container before being transported to licensed disposal sites in Queensland.

  • Air Monitoring and Testing
    Independent contractors conduct air monitoring to ensure no asbestos fibres remain airborne during or after removal.

  • Final Cleaning and Clearance Certificate
    Once asbestos has been removed and the site cleaned, a clearance certificate is issued, confirming the property is safe for re-entry and that you can continue with any construction, renovation, or demolition work.
