Licensed Asbestos Removal in the Riverina

Safe, compliant, and handled by trusted professionals.

Safe Asbestos Removal You Can Rely On

Asbestos is one of the most dangerous building materials ever used in Australia. It needs to be removed properly by licensed professionals. At Riverina Demolition, we’re qualified and insured to safely identify, remove, and dispose of asbestos from homes, commercial properties, and worksites. We follow strict NSW SafeWork and EPA guidelines so your site is safe, compliant, and ready for use.

What Is Asbestos and Why Is It Dangerous?

Asbestos is a group of minerals once used in homes and buildings because it was cheap, durable, and fire-resistant. It’s often found in roofing, wall cladding, fencing, insulation, and even bathrooms or laundries in older houses.

The danger comes when asbestos is disturbed. Microscopic fibres can be released into the air, and breathing them in can cause serious illnesses, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. That’s why strict laws are in place for asbestos removal and why it should only ever be handled by licensed professionals with the proper training and equipment.

If your property was built before 1990, there’s a strong chance that asbestos materials may still be present. The safest option is to have your site inspected and cleared by qualified experts.

Types of Asbestos: Friable vs Non-Friable

Not all asbestos is the same, and the type present on your property affects how it must be removed.

Friable asbestos

Crumbles easily into fine dust when disturbed. It’s the most dangerous form because fibres can become airborne and inhaled. Removal must always be carried out by a Class A licensed professional.

Non-friable asbestos

Also called “bonded asbestos,” this type is mixed with cement or other materials (like fibro sheeting or roof tiles). It’s more stable but can still release fibres if cut, drilled, or damaged. Removal of larger amounts requires a Class B licence.

At Riverina Demolition, we’re fully licensed to handle both types safely and in line with NSW regulations.
