Removing Asbestos from Your Home


Because asbestos dust can be so easily inhaled, here at Northern Rivers Demolition & Asbestos, we highly discourage removing asbestos yourself in favour of hiring professional asbestos removal companies. The state of NSW issues classified licences for those who take up a profession in asbestos removal. These licences, however, are only issued following rigorous training and education in order to ensure the highest standard of qualification.


When you hire Northern Rivers Demolition & Asbestos, you’ll receive that same standard in all that we do. Our asbestos removal process is designed to minimise risk and exposure and maximise efficiency, so you can receive the best asbestos removal service without risking your safety or the safety of your home and family.
