Direct Demolition holds NSW Asbestos Class B licence AD214613 and removes bonded asbestos across Bankstown every week. Almost every pre-1990 Bankstown home has asbestos somewhere — fibro sheeting, eaves, roof sheets, floor tiles under vinyl, pipe lagging. This page covers how we handle Bankstown asbestos removal, what it costs, and what the clearance process looks like.
Where Asbestos Hides in Bankstown Homes
Bankstown's building boom ran from the 1950s to the late 1980s — right through the peak asbestos-cement era. Common findings in Bankstown, Yagoona, Padstow, Revesby, Chester Hill and Panania homes: fibro sheet cladding on original weatherboards and rear extensions, eaves linings, corrugated roof sheeting on garages and lean-tos, vinyl floor tiles with black bitumen backing, textured decorative ceilings, and lagging on gas hot water pipes. Anything pre-1990 should be assumed to contain ACM until surveyed.
What Class B Covers vs Class A
Class B (which we hold in-house) covers bonded asbestos — fibro sheeting, roof sheets, floor tiles, cement pipes. This is 95%+ of what's in Bankstown homes. Class A covers friable material — pipe lagging, popcorn ceilings, loose insulation, damaged fire boards. We coordinate Class A work with our licensed partners where needed. Both types get SafeWork NSW 5-day notification before removal starts.
The Bankstown Asbestos Removal Process
1) Site inspection and hygienist survey (if not already done). 2) Written scope and fixed quote. 3) SafeWork NSW notification lodged (5+ working days before start). 4) Site setup — signage, barricades, PPE, negative-air where required, decon. 5) Removal — wet-strip, double-bagged, into skip. 6) Disposal at SafeWork-approved facility with tip dockets kept. 7) Site clean and independent hygienist clearance certificate issued to you.
Disposal & Tip Dockets
All Bankstown asbestos waste goes to SafeWork NSW-approved facilities — typically Lucas Heights or Kemps Creek depending on load. You get tip dockets and a clearance certificate as standard, which you need for council occupation certificates and for your builder before slab pour.
