Asbestos Structures We Remove Across Sydney Backyards
Fibro Garages
Detached fibro garages with asbestos cement walls and roof sheeting are one of the most common jobs in southern Sydney. We dismantle rather than knock down, which keeps fibre release and disposal volumes low.
Garden Sheds and Outbuildings
Small asbestos sheds, workshops, laundries and old bungalows at the back of the block. These are quick jobs, usually half a day, and are often the cheapest asbestos problem a homeowner will ever fix.
Roof Sheeting Only
If the frame and walls are sound, we take the asbestos roof sheeting alone and leave the structure standing ready for new Colorbond. Cheaper than a full demolition and a common choice on solid brick garages.
Slab, Footings and Site Clean
Most asbestos removalists stop at the structure. We remove the concrete slab and footings too, then sweep and level the area so the site is genuinely clear rather than left as a pad and a pile.
Carports, Lean-tos and Awnings
Asbestos cement awnings, carport roofs and lean-tos attached to the house. These sit against the building, so we protect the wall junction and make good where the sheeting was fixed.
How a Sydney Garage or Shed Removal Runs
Most garage and shed jobs are a one-day operation, but they still run to the same documented, licensed process as any other asbestos removal.
Before removal begins, we:
- Inspect the structure and confirm whether the slab is coming out
- Test suspect sheeting through a NATA-accredited laboratory
- Notify SafeWork NSW at least five clear days before licensed removal begins
- Check council requirements, since most minor demolition is exempt development
- Protect boundaries, neighbouring fences and garden beds before we start
After removal we decontaminate, double-wrap the waste, transport it to an EPA-licensed landfill under a WasteLocate consignment, and an independent licensed asbestos assessor issues the clearance certificate.
