Depending on the material, the location and the current condition, there are a couple of different approaches. Non friable asbestos containing materials (ACMs) that are in a good condition can more often then not remain in situ safely. For example, fibro sheeting to walls, eaves, ceilings etc can remain in place provided there is no damage. It is important to be aware of the condition of ACMs so that the correct course of action can be taken in the event that damage is inflicted. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions relating to safe management of ACM.
The asbestos only needs to be removed if you want to do something that would disturb it (like demolish, sand it, cut it etc.) or if it’s in a poor condition or an unstable material. If works are intended on the area, ACMs need to be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist.
- Contact a licensed removalist to conduct the works:
Please note that Robson’s does not conduct removal, as being Assessors it would be a conflict of interest. You should ensure that any Assessor you engage is not associated with an asbestos removal company.
