We notify WorkSafe Victoria, then it's removal day
We notify WorkSafe Victoria at least 24 hours ahead for 10 square metres or less of non-friable (bonded) asbestos, and at least 5 days ahead for all other removal, including any friable asbestos (WorkSafe Victoria). On the day we remove it safely and leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Done and dusted

Asbestos personnel collect them, as NATA strongly advises for anyone outside the industry (NATA). A NATA-accredited lab analyses them, and there are accredited labs right here in Geelong (NATA).

Your EPA Waste Tracker record
Licensed removalists must track asbestos loads in EPA Waste Tracker and give the customer the record (EPA Victoria). You'll get yours.
Clearance certificate where required
After friable removal, or bonded removal over 10 square metres, an independent inspection and clearance certificate is required before the area is used again (WorkSafe Victoria).
Older Geelong homes, and where asbestos hides
Victorian Government guidance says homes built or renovated before 1990 likely contain asbestos (Asbestos in Victoria). That covers a lot of Geelong, from postwar weatherboards in the north to the cottages and bungalows closer to town.
It tends to turn up in fences, roofs, external cladding, eaves, gutters, downpipes, wet-area walls, vinyl flooring and backing, garages, sheds and electrical meter board backing (Asbestos in Victoria). Left alone and in good shape, it isn't usually an emergency. Drilling, cutting, sanding or knocking it about is where the risk starts.
The Victorian rules, in plain English
- Removing friable asbestos needs a Class A licence. Class B covers non-friable (bonded) asbestos only (WorkSafe Victoria).
- Victorian workplace rules allow only limited unlicensed removal of non-friable asbestos: no more than 10 square metres in total and no more than 1 hour of work in any 7 days (WorkSafe Victoria). Homeowners should get advice for their own situation and use a licensed removalist (Asbestos in Victoria).
- Licensed removalists must notify WorkSafe Victoria at least 24 hours before removing 10 square metres or less of non-friable asbestos, and at least 5 days before all other removal (WorkSafe Victoria).
- An independent visual inspection and clearance certificate is required after friable removal, and after non-friable removal over 10 square metres, before the area is used again (WorkSafe Victoria).
- Licensed removalists must have EPA permission to transport asbestos, use EPA Waste Tracker and give the customer the Waste Tracker record. Asbestos must never go in household rubbish, recycling or green waste bins (EPA Victoria, Waste Tracker).
Common questions
It depends on the size of the job. Licensed removalists must notify WorkSafe Victoria at least 24 hours before removing 10 square metres or less of non-friable asbestos, and at least 5 days before all other removal (WorkSafe Victoria). We send the notification as soon as you accept the quote and book the day straight after.
An itemised written quote before anything starts, the EPA Waste Tracker record for the asbestos we take away (EPA Victoria), and a clearance certificate where Victoria requires one (WorkSafe Victoria). If we take samples, you get the written lab results too.
Possibly. Victorian Government guidance says homes built or renovated before 1990 likely contain asbestos (Asbestos in Victoria). The only way to know for sure about a particular material is to have a sample analysed by a NATA-accredited lab. See asbestos testing in Geelong.
Usually, yes. We measure everything on the one visit and list each part separately on a single itemised quote. Doing it together means one setup, one notification and one disposal trip.
No. Asbestos must never go in household rubbish, recycling or green waste bins (EPA Victoria). Householders can take small amounts of their own household asbestos to a landfill authorised for it, if it is packed to the facility's rules. Our disposal guide covers Drysdale.
Yes. Our team covers Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast, including Drysdale, Clifton Springs, Portarlington, Ocean Grove and Torquay. See all our service areas.
