CAN’T I JUST REMOVE THE ASBESTOS MYSELF?

No.

Asbestos is a highly dangerous substance, and you are required by law to have asbestos removed by accredited professionals. Unlike other parts of your home renovation, where a DIY approach is often an excellent cost-saving alternative, asbestos removal has to be done by licensed professionals. There are two types of asbestos removal licences in New South Wales:

Class A Asbestos Removal License – permitted to remove friable asbestos. Class B Asbestos Removal License – permitted to remove non-friable asbestos only. Sydney City Asbestos hold both licenses.
