How do I know if my fence contains asbestos?

Many older fibro fences installed before the mid 1990s contain asbestos. Signs include cement-like panels, weathered grey sheeting and cracking or brittle material. A licensed inspection or sample test is the most reliable way to confirm asbestos.

Can I remove an asbestos fence myself?

No. Asbestos fencing must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist due to the high risk of fibre release when it is disturbed. DIY removal is unsafe and restricted by law in many states.

How long does asbestos fence removal take?

Most projects can be completed within a single day depending on the length, condition and access. Larger boundaries or fences shared between properties may take longer.

Will the removal impact neighbouring properties?

We use controlled removal methods, safety barriers and dust suppression to prevent disturbance to nearby homes. Our team also coordinates access and communication for shared boundary fences when required.

What happens once the asbestos fence is removed?

We clean the area, remove all debris and prepare the site so new fencing can be installed. You will receive documentation confirming safe and compliant removal.

How is asbestos fence waste disposed of?

All waste is sealed, labelled and transported to an approved asbestos disposal facility. We manage all permits and provide full disposal records.

Is asbestos fence removal required before installing a new fence?

Yes. Asbestos must be completely removed before new fencing can be installed. Leaving asbestos in place can breach safety regulations and prevent contractors from carrying out installation work.
