Clear scope and one fixed written price before work starts.
SafeWork SA licensed. We'll be in touch within 30 minutes.
The short answer
Old fibro sheds and garages sit at the back of many older Adelaide blocks.
We take the roof and walls down whole, wrap everything on site,
and leave the slab clean and independently cleared.

About sheds and garages in Adelaide
Sheds tend to collect decades of stuff,
and some of it sits on dusty broken sheeting.
Clear out what you can without sweeping or disturbing debris, then call us.
We take the structure down in the reverse order it went up: roof first,
then walls, with every sheet lowered whole.

The asbestos rules in South Australia
Class A or Class B
Bonded asbestos is set firm in cement sheeting.
Friable asbestos crumbles by hand. Class A covers friable and bonded asbestos.
Class B covers bonded only.
Licensed work means more than 10 m² of bonded asbestos,
or any friable asbestos.
Air monitoring for Class B too
In South Australia an independent licensed asbestos assessor must do air
monitoring before and during licensed removal,
for Class A and Class B work alike. That is stricter than some other states.
At least 5 days notice
Licensed removalists notify SafeWork SA at least 5 days before licensed
removal starts. That wait sits inside our timing from the first quote.
Where the waste goes
Household asbestos must go to an appropriate licensed facility,
wrapped in 200 micron plastic, double layers for sheets,
taped airtight and labelled. Never in household bins or council hard rubbish.

Sheds and garages: your questions
Do you take the slab?
Slab removal is a separate line if you want it.
The standard job leaves it clean and cleared.
What about stuff stored inside?
Move what you can without disturbing broken sheeting.
Anything sitting in debris, leave it and tell us.
Do I need council approval?
Demolition approvals vary. Check with your council if you are unsure.
Will my neighbours be told?
Yes. Before work starts we tell the people next door what is coming out, when,
and how long it takes.
Mostly they want to know when to shut the windows and bring the washing in.
Why does SA need air monitoring for small jobs?
In South Australia,
an independent licensed asbestos assessor must do air monitoring before and
during licensed removal for both Class A and Class B work.
Some other states only ask for it on friable jobs.
So once a job is licensed work,
which means more than 10 m² of bonded asbestos or any friable asbestos,
air monitoring is part of it here.
Where can I take asbestos in Adelaide?
Only to an appropriate licensed facility.
Never in a household bin and never out for council hard rubbish.
EPA SA says it must be wrapped in 200 micron plastic,
double layers for sheets, taped airtight and labelled.
Facilities set their own rules and fees, so always call first.
When we do the removal,
we take the waste in ourselves and hand you the paperwork.
