Asbestos removal for Blue Mountains homes, from the lower to the upper Mountains
Ademco Solutions removes bonded (non-friable) asbestos right across the Blue Mountains, from Lapstone and Glenbrook up through Springwood and Lawson to Katoomba, Blackheath and Mount Victoria. We are based in Penrith, at the foot of the Mountains, and hold a SafeWork NSW Class B asbestos removal licence (AD214091) covering fibro sheeting, eaves, roofing, vinyl floor tiles and wet area linings.
Most of our asbestos work is for homeowners renovating older homes, people clearing out sheds and garages, and builders who need asbestos removed before a knock-down or extension. Every job starts with a site inspection and a written, itemised quote. We notify SafeWork NSW where the law requires it and handle the removal, the disposal and the clean-up.

- Asbestos roofs and gutters

How much does asbestos removal cost in the Blue Mountains?
There is no single price per square metre that suits every job. A few sheets of fibro in a shed, a full asbestos roof and a bathroom with asbestos wall linings are very different jobs, and in the Mountains access often matters as much as size: sloping blocks, long driveways and narrow streets all change how a job is set up and how the waste is carried out. We inspect first and give you a free quote that is itemised and agreed before we start.

Asbestos in Blue Mountains homes
Many Blue Mountains homes are older fibro and weatherboard cottages, and plenty have been added to over the years. Fibro (asbestos cement sheeting) was widely used in Australian homes until the late 1980s, so a house built or renovated before 1990 is likely to have asbestos somewhere: in the external cladding, the eaves, bathroom and laundry linings, old vinyl floors, or the shed and back fence.
Bonded asbestos in good condition is generally low risk. It becomes a problem when it is cut, drilled, sanded, water blasted or broken during a renovation, or damaged by a storm, a fallen tree or fire. That is why the method matters. We isolate the work area, keep the material wet, remove sheets whole wherever possible, and wrap and label everything on site before it leaves.
If you are planning work on an older home anywhere from Glenbrook to Blackheath, or a storm has damaged fibro on your property, call us before anyone touches it.

Asbestos removal FAQs for the Blue Mountains
Can I take asbestos to the tip in the Blue Mountains?
Blue Mountains City Council's Blaxland Waste Management Facility takes bonded sheet asbestos from within the Blue Mountains local government area by booking, at least 24 hours ahead. The sheets have to be wetted, wrapped and within the facility's size limits. Check current conditions and fees with council before you go. More than 10 square metres has to be removed by a licensed removalist, who takes care of the disposal.
How long does it take?
Most small jobs, like a garage, a bathroom or a run of eaves, are done in a day. Bigger jobs, such as a full roof, take longer. We confirm the timeframe in your quote.
Do I need to move out?
Not usually for external work like roofs, eaves and fences. For internal work we seal off the work area and ask you to stay out of it until it has been cleaned and checked. We will tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
What happens to the waste?
All asbestos is double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic, labelled and transported to a waste facility licensed to accept it. It never goes in a skip bin or general waste, and we leave nothing behind on site.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
In NSW a homeowner can remove up to 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos without a licence, but it still has to be wetted, wrapped and disposed of safely. More than 10 square metres needs a licensed removalist, and friable asbestos always needs a Class A licence. Ademco holds a Class B licence, which covers bonded asbestos such as fibro, eaves and roofing.
What should I do if a storm damages fibro?
Keep people and pets away from the damaged material. Do not sweep, vacuum, water blast or try to break it up, and do not put it in your bin or a skip. Call a licensed removalist to look at it and make it safe.
