Asbestos Removal Macquarie Fields
Macquarie Fields spans two eras: older housing along the rail line from the 1950s and 1960s, and a large public-housing estate added in the 1970s. Both were built when asbestos cement was standard.

Asbestos in Macquarie Fields homes
Macquarie Fields contains 1950s and 1960s detached cottages near the station alongside a substantial 1970s public-housing estate to the west. The earlier stock frequently carries full asbestos-cement wall cladding, while the estate housing carries it in eaves, wet areas and fencing, so the material and the removal method differ noticeably between one part of the suburb and the other.
Because the suburb splits so cleanly between two eras, a quote given for one part of Macquarie Fields is a poor guide to the other. A fully clad 1950s cottage and a 1970s estate home are different jobs at different prices.
We would rather look at the specific property than quote from a suburb average, and an on-site assessment costs nothing.

Asbestos removal in Macquarie Fields — common questions
Do I get documentation showing it was disposed of properly?
Yes. Asbestos is a regulated waste stream in NSW, so it has to be wrapped, labelled, transported and received at a facility licensed to accept it. You receive the disposal documentation with your invoice. On friable or Class A work you also receive the clearance certificate issued by a licensed asbestos assessor.
How do I know for certain whether it is asbestos?
You cannot tell for certain by looking at it, and neither can we. Only a NATA-accredited laboratory can confirm the presence of asbestos, by analysing a sample under AS 4964-2004. We refer you to a licensed asbestos assessor, who collects the sample safely and has it analysed, and you get the laboratory's written result. Be wary of anyone offering an instant on-site result — that is an opinion, not an analysis.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Most residential jobs are done in a single day. A garage roof or a fence run is usually a few hours; a full house strip-out or friable removal with air monitoring and a clearance certificate takes longer, because the area has to stay isolated until the clearance is issued. We give you a realistic timeframe with the quote rather than after the job starts.
Is there likely to be asbestos in my home?
If your home was built or renovated before the late 1980s, it is likely to contain asbestos somewhere. In Sydney the usual places are fibro wall and ceiling sheeting, eaves, corrugated roofing on garages and sheds, boundary fencing, and the backing under old vinyl floor tiles. Bonded asbestos that is intact and undisturbed is generally stable — the risk comes from breaking, cutting, drilling or weathering it.
