Asbestos Removal

Your Trusted Partner for Safe Asbestos Removal on the Central Coast

Health risks associated with asbestos need no further emphasis, where evidence shows direct connections between prolonged exposure and asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. While it’s been banned almost two decades ago, it is still rather common in homes across Australia.

One in three houses still contains asbestos products today and they are most frequently found in those built before 1985.

Hives Demolition & Excavation has a long history in the demolition and civil industry, with a focus on asbestos removal across the Central Coast in recent years. It was only natural for us to offer such services, and we do it our way – timely, cost-efficient, and with no hiccups.

We handle everything from inspections to responsible disposal. Whether you’re renovating, demolishing, or suspect asbestos in your property, we’re here to provide reliable and efficient solutions.

Your safety, health, and satisfaction are our top priorities.

What We Do

Asbestos removal is a specialised process that requires professional expertise and strict safety measures. While DIY removal may seem like an option, mishandling asbestos can lead to serious health risks. That’s why it’s essential to have a qualified team manage the job. Here’s a quick overview on how we ensure safe and compliant asbestos removal trusted by Central Coast clients:

We identify asbestos materials that need removal.

With both pre-demolition and individual asbestos inspections, we conduct tests and identify materials that need to be removed. We boast years of experience in the demolition and civil industry, which allows us to show off both the confidence and professionalism you’re bound to see from the get-go.

We have an eye for details that point toward asbestos materials, such as tile discolouration or corrugated insulation edges. We know what products from what time to check and where to look for roof tile identification marks, for example. Ultimately, we work with accredited testing labs when we need our claims confirmed.

We handle and remove asbestos.

Once we’ve identified asbestos and confirmed materials need removal, our team of professionals will handle it with care. We plan and prepare the work area, then remove, transport, and dispose of said materials or recycle them if possible.

We ensure compliance with all safety regulations

We strictly adhere to all NSW health and safety regulations for asbestos removal on the Central Coast. From the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to controlled worksite procedures, we implement the highest safety standards to protect you, your property, and our team.

With Hives Demolition & Excavation, you can trust that asbestos is removed safely, responsibly, and with minimal disruption to your property.

How We Do It

Asbestos fibres cannot be seen by the naked eye and materials can differ in colour, which can further complicate dealing with it. Improper handling and inhaling airborne fibres can cause serious health problems, so here’s what we do to be on the safe side.

We follow rules and regulations.

We follow strict guidelines when it comes to dealing with asbestos. These include all of the health and safety regulations, from personal equipment to inspection and ultimately disposal. We take pride in our planning capacities just as much as we do in our execution, which can be especially important here.

We deal with professionals only.

If we work with a lab or a hauling company for one reason or another, we always make sure they are professionals sharing our views on quality, straightforwardness, and punctuality. We aim to provide flawless service and we look for the same from our partners. This makes for an important aspect of our business and pays off with sensitive projects.

We capitalise on the experience and it shows.

We have vast experience and the projects we complete have our name written all over them, as we always look to live up to our reputation and add to it. We act quickly as we identify, remove, and dispose of asbestos – be it part of demolition or an individual project. We promise an effortless experience with top-notch customer service.

We are open about it.

From initial contacts and getting quotes to regular updates with bigger projects and your feedback, we also boast of being open about our business. We will help with advice when necessary and always provide all necessary information, so you know what is going on and when.

How to Identify Asbestos in Your Property

Asbestos was commonly used in buildings constructed before 1990. If your property falls within this timeframe, it’s important to be aware of potential asbestos-containing materials.

Common Materials Containing Asbestos:

Roof tiles, siding, and gutters
Flooring materials and adhesives
Insulation in walls and ceilings
Textured paints and coatings

Signs That May Indicate Asbestos:

Discoloured or brittle tiles that could contain asbestos
Crumbling or damaged insulation in older buildings
Corrugated or fibrous materials that should be professionally assessed

If you suspect asbestos in your property, always consult professionals for testing and safe removal.

Asbestos Removal: Residential vs. Commercial Needs

Asbestos removal varies between residential and commercial properties. Each comes with its own set of challenges and regulations. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect for each type of property:

Residential Properties

Asbestos is commonly found in older homes, particularly in roofing, insulation, and flooring materials. We specialise in identifying and safely removing asbestos to ensure your home is hazard-free, whether you’re renovating, demolishing, or performing any other work on your property. Our team follows strict safety protocols to give you peace of mind throughout the entire process.

Commercial Properties

Asbestos removal in commercial properties can be more complex due to larger sites and stricter regulations. We have extensive experience handling asbestos removal on commercial projects, including thorough site inspections and compliance with all local regulations. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption, keeping your project on schedule while ensuring full safety and legal compliance.

What Happens After Asbestos Removal

After asbestos is safely removed, we:

✔ Provide formal documentation confirming that the removal was completed in accordance with all regulations.

✔ Conduct a thorough site inspection to verify that no asbestos remains.

✔ Dispose of asbestos materials at licensed facilities, following strict environmental and safety protocols.
