    Asbestos removal and disposal for Rocklea warehouses, factories and homes

    Rocklea is an industrial and residential suburb about 9 kilometres south of the CBD, best known for the Brisbane Markets on Sherwood Road, large warehouses and factory units, and a smaller pocket of homes. Its industry goes back to the Second World War munitions works, and the suburb is mostly zoned for industrial use.

    That industrial heritage means asbestos cement roofing and wall cladding on older warehouses, sheds and factory units, plus fibro homes built nearby. Rocklea was also Brisbane's most flooded suburb in January 2011, as it was in 1974, so flood repairs, strip-outs and rebuilds regularly uncover asbestos linings and sheeting. Asbestos wasn't banned nationally until 31 December 2003.

    T&L plans commercial and industrial removals around your operations, coordinates with builders, and disposes of the waste at approved facilities with paperwork for your compliance records. We also work on Rocklea homes and sheds.

    Tek came within 24 hours (and on a Sunday). I didn’t end up having asbestos and so he didn’t charge me a cent. Lovely guy and very honest. Thanks again Tek!

    I highly recommend anyone that needs asbestos removal to go with Tek and his team over at T & L. Tek was extremely informative and answered any questions I had. Best of all, Tek was very responsive and replied to me as soon as he could. Their prices are extremely competitive (I could not find any asbestos removal companies that were at or near the same price as Tek!). Tek and his team were very punctual the quoting and removal appointments. Tek and his team diligently removed asbestos from our kitchen and bathroom (see photos). There was no mess left behind.

    Common places for asbestos in Rocklea homes and businesses

    Asbestos is hard to spot by eye. These are the places we're most often called to in older Rocklea properties, so they're worth checking before you drill, cut, sand or demolish anything.

    In shops, warehouses and industrial sites

    • Asbestos cement roof sheeting on warehouses and factory units
    • Wall cladding and eaves on older industrial buildings
    • Ceiling tiles and partition walls in offices and workshops
    • Plant rooms, switchboard backing and pipe lagging
    • Material uncovered during flood repairs, solar installs and demolition

    Roof work needs a safe plan for working at height.

    In homes and sheds

    • Fibro walls and linings in older homes
    • Roof sheeting, eaves and soffits
    • Flood-damaged linings and wall sheeting in older homes
    • Sheds, garages and carports
    • Fibro fencing and backyard structures
    • Vinyl floor tiles and the backing beneath

    Flood repairs can disturb asbestos linings; test before stripping out.

    Think you've found asbestos? Don't drill, sand, sweep, hose down or break it. Keep people and pets away, close off the area, and call us on 0423 648 557. We'll tell you what to do next and arrange an inspection.

    How an asbestos removal job works

    No surprises. Here's what happens from your first call to the final clean-up.

    1. Inspect and quote

      We come to your property, work out what the material is and how much there is, and give you a clear written quote with no obligation.

    2. Set up the work area

      The area is marked off, protective equipment goes on and controls are put in place so fibres can't spread.

    3. Remove it carefully

      Material is taken out using controlled methods and sealed straight away, not broken up or dropped.

      Waste goes to an approved facility, the site is cleaned and you receive disposal paperwork and a clearance certificate where required.

    Rocklea asbestos removal: common questions

    Can you remove asbestos roofs from large warehouses in Rocklea?

    Yes. We plan access and working at height, wrap the sheeting and dispose of it at an approved facility. Large roofs may take longer than the standard residential timeframe.

    I'm repairing a flood-affected building in Rocklea. Should I test for asbestos first?

    Yes. Strip-outs and repairs can disturb old linings and sheeting. We inspect and test suspect material first and remove it safely if it's asbestos.

    Is it safe to leave asbestos where it is?

    It can be, if it's in good condition, sealed and left alone. If it's damaged, weathered or about to be disturbed by building work, have it assessed and removed by a licensed contractor.

    Do I need to leave the property while you work?

    It depends on the job, but we ask you to stay clear of the work zone. Before we start we'll tell you whether you should be off site for the day.

    Do you service Rocklea and nearby suburbs?

    Yes. We service Rocklea, Salisbury, Moorooka, Sherwood, Archerfield and the wider Brisbane southside.

    How long does an asbestos removal job take?

    A typical house job runs between one and three days including set-up and clean-up, and big commercial sites can run to a week. Your quote includes an estimate.

    What happens to the asbestos after it is removed?

    We wrap or double-bag and label it, transport it in licensed vehicles to an approved facility, and give you documentation showing it was disposed of correctly.
