Asbestos removal for Wollongong homes, renovators and builders
Ademco Solutions removes bonded (non-friable) asbestos across the Wollongong area, from Helensburgh and the northern suburbs through the city to Dapto, Port Kembla and Windang. We hold a SafeWork NSW Class B asbestos removal licence (AD214091), which covers the asbestos cement products found in most homes: fibro sheeting, eaves, roofing, vinyl floor tiles and wet area linings.
Most of our asbestos work is for homeowners who find fibro during a renovation, people clearing out an old garage or shed, and builders who need asbestos gone before a demolition or extension. We inspect first, give you a written, itemised quote, notify SafeWork NSW where the law requires it, and take care of the removal, the disposal and the clean-up.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Wollongong?
There is no single price per square metre that suits every job. A few sheets of fibro in a garage, a full asbestos roof and a bathroom with asbestos wall linings are very different jobs. We inspect the site first and give you a free quote that is itemised and agreed before we start. These are the things that move the price most.

Asbestos in Wollongong homes
Wollongong grew quickly in the decades after the Second World War, and fibro (asbestos cement sheeting) was one of the cheapest and most common building materials of that era. If your home was built or renovated before 1990, it is likely to contain asbestos somewhere: in the eaves, the external cladding, behind bathroom and laundry tiles, under old vinyl or lino, or in the garage and back fence.
Bonded asbestos in good condition is generally low risk. It becomes a problem when it is drilled, cut, sanded, water blasted or broken, which is exactly what happens during a renovation. That is why the method matters more than the material. 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 Thirroul to Dapto, or you have found a damaged sheet in a shed or under the eaves, call us before anyone touches it.

Asbestos removal FAQs for Wollongong
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.
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.
Does SafeWork NSW need to be notified about my job?
Yes, if more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos is being removed. The licensed removalist has to notify SafeWork NSW at least five calendar days before the work starts, so allow for that when you plan your dates. We lodge the notification for you.
Can you demolish the building as well?
Yes. If the asbestos is coming out ahead of a knock-down, a partial demolition or a strip out, we can do both, so you only deal with one contractor. See demolition in Wollongong.
