Our licensed removalists handle every type of asbestos removal in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs: old fibro walls, super six roofs, backyard fences, vinyl floor tiles, garages and sheds, right through to commercial strip-outs. All work is carried out under Queensland's Class A and Class B licensing system, fully insured, with lawful disposal and a clean site at the end.
Toowoomba has one of the oldest housing stocks in regional Queensland. If your home was built or renovated before 1990, there is a real chance it contains asbestos. The Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency estimates that roughly one in three Australian homes contains asbestos materials, and Australia didn't fully ban the material until 31 December 2003. That is why so many Rangeville weatherboards, Harristown post-war homes and Newtown workers cottages still have asbestos in their walls, roofs, eaves, floors and fences.
The good news: handled properly, asbestos is a solved problem. It gets tested, contained, removed, wrapped, transported and disposed of at an approved facility, and you get on with your renovation or sale. That is what we do, every week, across Toowoomba.
Not sure where asbestos might be hiding in your place? In Toowoomba's older homes it commonly turns up as flat or corrugated sheeting in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, as eaves and gable ends, in the flue behind an old wood heater, under vinyl and carpet as backing, and in the classic grey backyard fence. Materials made before the mid-1980s carry the highest risk, though asbestos cement products were still sold here until the national ban at the end of 2003. Because you can't tell asbestos from a safe look-alike by eye, the safe move is always to test first and then remove — never sand, cut or waterblast a sheet you're unsure about.
Every job delivered by appropriately licensed operators, fully insured, with lawful disposal and clearance documentation — never a scare campaign.
Corrugated asbestos cement roofing (often called super six) was standard on Toowoomba homes, garages and sheds for decades. We strip asbestos roofs safely, without breaking sheets, and dispose of everything lawfully so your roofer can install new Colorbond.

Our commercial asbestos removal Toowoomba team →Queensland law splits asbestos removal into two licence classes. Class B covers bonded (non-friable) asbestos over 10 square metres. Class A covers friable asbestos, the dangerous crumbly kind, in any quantity. Our removal work is carried out by appropriately licensed operators for both classes, so no job gets turned away or, worse, done under the wrong licence.
Every job is covered by public liability insurance. You'll never carry the risk for work on your own property.
Licensed removal work is notified to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland at least five days before it starts, as the law requires. Waste is dampened, double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic, sealed, labelled and transported to an approved facility. You receive documentation of lawful disposal, and a clearance inspection where required.
We know exactly how asbestos disposal works in this region, including the Greater Toowoomba Waste Management Facility's rules for asbestos waste. Small DIY loads have strict limits (domestic loads only, 175kg maximum, wrapped and pre-notified to council). For anything bigger, licensed transport and disposal is part of our service, so you never touch the waste stream.
Asbestos removal in Australia typically runs $30 to $60 per square metre for bonded sheeting and $100 to $150+ per square metre for friable material, with fences usually $25 to $50 per lineal metre (industry cost guides, 2025). Every site is different, which is why we quote free and in writing, but you'll always know roughly what you're in for before we visit.
That $30 to $60 per square metre is the typical range for bonded asbestos sheeting, in line with 2025 Australian industry cost guides. Friable material runs higher, and fences are usually priced by the metre. Every site is different, so we quote free and fixed before we visit — call 1300 000 000 and we'll give you a number.
Asbestos-related diseases still kill around 4,000 Australians every year, more than the national road toll, according to the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency. Mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer can take 15 to 60 years to develop after exposure. Undisturbed, bonded asbestos in good condition is generally low risk. The danger comes when it's cut, drilled, sanded, waterblasted, broken by hail or ripped out during a DIY reno. One weekend of careless demolition can contaminate an entire house.
That is why Queensland limits unlicensed removal to 10 square metres of bonded asbestos, and why removing more than that from a private home without proper certification is an offence under the Public Health Regulation 2018 (Qld). If in doubt, get it tested, and let licensed removalists do the removal.

Most bonded asbestos removal costs $30 to $60 per square metre, while friable asbestos runs $100 to $150 or more per square metre, based on 2025 Australian industry cost guides. Fences are usually $25 to $50 per lineal metre. Small jobs carry a minimum charge. We provide free written quotes before any work.
Queensland law allows an unlicensed person to remove up to 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos. Anything more requires a licensed removalist, and removing over 10 square metres from a home without certification is an offence under the Public Health Regulation 2018 (Qld). Friable asbestos always requires a Class A licence.
Age is the best first clue. Homes built or renovated before 1990 very likely contain asbestos in walls, eaves, roofs, floors or fences, and around one in three Australian homes does. You cannot confirm asbestos by looking at it. Laboratory testing of a sample is the only reliable method.
All asbestos waste is dampened, double-wrapped in heavy plastic, sealed, labelled and transported to a licensed disposal facility. In this region that includes the Greater Toowoomba Waste Management Facility, which accepts wrapped domestic asbestos up to 175kg per load with prior council notification. Commercial quantities go to regulated waste facilities.
Bonded asbestos in good, sealed condition is generally low risk when left undisturbed. The risk rises sharply when it is damaged, weathered, cut, drilled or broken, because that releases breathable fibres. If your asbestos is cracked, crumbling or in the path of a renovation, it should be tested and professionally removed.
