If your property contains asbestos, removing it safely is essential before any demolition, renovation or redevelopment work begins. Asbestos was widely used in Australian construction until the late 1980s, and it is still present in the roofing, wall sheeting, ceilings, eaves, flooring and insulation of many older homes and commercial buildings across Brisbane.
When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, damaged or removed incorrectly, they can release fine fibres into the air. Breathing in these fibres carries serious long-term health risks, which is why asbestos removal work is tightly regulated in Queensland and, in many cases, must be carried out by a licensed contractor.
At Total Demolition Brisbane, our licensed asbestos removal team works across residential, commercial and industrial properties throughout Brisbane. We handle everything from small internal strip-outs to full-site asbestos removal before demolition, always in line with Queensland safety regulations and workplace health standards.
We provide a full range of asbestos removal services for homes, businesses, and industrial sites across Brisbane. Whatever the scope of your project, our team has the licensing, equipment, and experience to remove asbestos safely and compliantly.
We remove asbestos from houses, units, duplexes and apartment buildings throughout Brisbane, including roofing, fencing, garages, sheds and internal linings. This service pairs closely with our residential demolition projects and suits homeowners preparing for renovation, sale or demolition, with minimal disruption to an occupied household.
Offices, retail premises and other commercial buildings often contain asbestos in ceilings, flooring and wall sheeting. Our commercial asbestos removal team works around your business hours where possible, keeping downtime to a minimum, and integrates smoothly with any wider commercial demolition works already planned for the site.
Warehouses, factories and industrial sites present their own asbestos removal challenges, from large-scale roofing to legacy insulation materials. We plan every industrial asbestos removal project around your operational needs, site access, and the relevant Australian Standards.
If a demolition is planned, asbestos must be removed first. We regularly carry out asbestos removal before house demolitions and larger site clearances, handling hazardous materials so your property is safe and ready for the next stage of construction.
Asbestos cement roofing is one of the most common materials we remove. Our team safely strips and disposes of asbestos roof sheeting, minimising fibre release and leaving your roof space ready for re-sheeting or demolition.
Renovating an older property often means removing asbestos-containing linings, tiles, or ceilings first. Our internal asbestos strip outs are carried out with full containment and air monitoring where required, so the rest of your renovation can proceed safely.
Every asbestos removal project follows the same careful process, no matter the size of the job.
We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify asbestos-containing materials and confirm the extent of the work required. This lets us assess the safest removal method and give you an accurate, obligation-free quote before any work begins.
Before removal starts, we carry out a risk assessment covering the type and condition of the asbestos, site access and any risk to occupants, neighbours or the surrounding environment. This informs our safety controls and removal plan for the job.
Using specialised equipment and industry-approved techniques, our licensed team carefully removes the asbestos-containing materials. We use containment, wetting down, and personal protective equipment throughout to minimise the risk of fibre release.
All asbestos waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and transported to an approved waste facility. We are licensed to transport and dispose of asbestos in line with Queensland environmental and workplace safety regulations.
Once the asbestos has been removed and disposed of, we clear and clean the site. Where required, we arrange independent clearance testing so you have written confirmation that the property is safe before renovation, demolition or construction continues.
Choosing the right contractor makes all the difference in how safely and smoothly your asbestos removal project runs.

We provide asbestos removal for a wide range of property types across Brisbane, including:
No matter the property type or the scale of the job, we tailor our approach to suit your site and timeline. If your property also has an old in-ground or above-ground pool, our pool demolition team can remove it as part of the same project.
We provide asbestos removal across Brisbane and the surrounding region, including Brisbane CBD, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, the Eastern and Western suburbs, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redlands. If you are unsure whether we service your area, get in touch, and we will be happy to help.
The cost of asbestos removal in Brisbane depends on the amount and type of asbestos present, how accessible the site is, and whether demolition work is also required. A small internal strip-out will cost less than a full roof removal or a large industrial job. We provide a detailed, obligation-free quote after inspecting your property, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
In Queensland, certain types of asbestos removal work must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal contractor. This includes the removal of friable asbestos and, in most cases, more than 10 square metres of non-friable, bonded asbestos. Using a licensed contractor like Total Demolition Brisbane ensures the work is carried out safely, that waste is disposed of correctly, and that you meet your legal obligations as a property owner.
Yes. Asbestos must be identified and removed before any demolition work can proceed. We regularly carry out asbestos removal before demolition, safely clearing hazardous materials from the site so demolition can go ahead without exposing our team, your neighbours or the environment to asbestos fibres. This is standard practice on any older property being demolished in Brisbane.
Most residential asbestos removal jobs are completed within one to three days, depending on the amount of material involved and how accessible it is. Larger commercial or industrial projects can take longer, particularly where extensive roofing or internal linings are involved. After our initial inspection, we will give you a clear timeframe so you can plan the rest of your renovation, demolition or construction project around it.
All asbestos waste we remove is securely wrapped, labelled and transported to a licensed waste facility approved to accept asbestos. This process follows strict Queensland environmental and workplace safety regulations, from the way the material is packaged on site through to its final disposal. Proper disposal protects our team, your property and the wider community from exposure to asbestos fibres.
We remove both bonded, non-friable, and friable asbestos-containing materials, including roofing, wall and ceiling sheeting, eaves, fencing, flooring, and insulation. This covers everything from asbestos cement sheeting in an older Queenslander to more complex materials found in commercial and industrial buildings. If you are unsure whether your property contains asbestos, our team can inspect it and advise you on the safest way forward.
If you think your property may contain asbestos, do not leave it to chance. Total Demolition Brisbane provides safe, licensed and fully compliant asbestos removal across Brisbane, backed by more than 40 years of combined experience.
