Services / Demolition

Asbestos-contaminated demolition.

Demolition of structures that contain asbestos — sheds, garages, lean-tos, and older buildings. The asbestos is identified and removed, the structure comes down, and the waste is disposed of lawfully. One team, one plan, full paperwork.

What we demolish

  • Sheds & garages — asbestos cement-clad outbuildings, common across pre-1990 Brisbane properties.
  • Lean-tos & extensions — bolt-on structures built with asbestos sheeting.
  • Partial demolition — stripping out asbestos-laden sections ahead of a renovation or rebuild.
  • Full structures — older homes and buildings where ACM is present throughout, removed then demolished.

Why asbestos and demolition belong together

Separating the asbestos removal from the demolition means two contractors, two mobilisations, and a gap where something gets missed. Because one team handles both the asbestos and the demolition, the asbestos is dealt with and the structure comes down under a single control plan — with the inspection, removal, disposal, and clearance all documented as one job. That's faster, cheaper, and cleaner on paper if a regulator, insurer, or buyer ever asks.

Demolition — FAQs

Why use an asbestos specialist for demolition? +
If a structure was built before the mid-1980s, it almost certainly contains asbestos — and you can't demolish around it. The asbestos has to be identified and removed first, and the demolition carried out as controlled asbestos work. Using a specialist who handles both the asbestos and the demolition means the whole job is done by one team, under one plan.
Do you do full house demolition? +
We only demolish structures that contain asbestos — sheds, garages, lean-tos, and buildings where non-friable or friable ACM is present throughout. We don't offer general or non-asbestos demolition. For a full house that contains asbestos we remove the asbestos and coordinate the structural demolition so the whole job is compliant and documented. Tell us the structure and we'll scope it.
What about the waste? +
Asbestos-contaminated demolition waste is regulated waste. It's wrapped, transported, and disposed of through a licensed facility with tracking receipts — see our disposal service. You get the documentation that proves the site was cleared lawfully.
Do I need testing before demolition? +
Yes — a pre-demolition inspection is required to identify ACM before any structure built before 31 December 2003 comes down. We can do the inspection and sampling first (see our testing and inspection services), then remove and demolish — so the whole sequence stays with one team.

Scope a demolition job

Tell us the structure, its rough age, and what's driving the job — renovation, rebuild, or clearing a site. We'll scope the asbestos and the demolition together and quote in writing.

  • Phone scope of structure, age, and site access
  • Pre-demolition inspection and asbestos removal where needed
  • Structure demolished, waste disposed, clearance documented
