Asbestos Removal And Demolition Services for Plainlands

Asbestos has been used in the building industry for more than one hundred years. From the 1950’s right through to the mid 1980’s asbestos was used in a wide variety of products including thermal insulation, fire proofing, electrical insulation and building materials. If your property was constructed during this period, and particularly in the 1960s or 1970s it is quite likely it could contain asbestos. If you have any doubt, be sure to contact us and we can come and test your property for asbestos.

Asbestos is carcinogenic, which means it can cause cancer. Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis or diffuse pleural thickening. The heavy use of asbestos in Australia means we have one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world. It is estimated that Australia will reach 18,000 cases of mesothelioma by 2020, with another 30,000 to 40,000 cases of other asbestos-related diseases predicted.
