🏠 Asbestos Roofing? Safety Comes First. 👷‍♂️

Those old corrugated roof sheets might look like just another roofing material, but when they contain asbestos, safe removal is essential to help protect residents, their neighbours and the surrounding area.

At Specialised Services, our crew takes asbestos removal seriously, with careful planning and the right safety measures in place every step of the way.

👷‍♂️ Working at heights requires extra precautions. Scaffolding was in place to provide our crew with a safer, more stable working platform while carrying out the removal.

Our team removed the asbestos containing corrugated roof sheets by hand, loaded them onto our truck, wrapped and lined in plastic and transported them for appropriate disposal.

✅ Working at heights safety and compliant scaffolding for our crew
✅ Professional asbestos removal
✅ Careful handling and wrapping of asbestos containing materials
✅ Appropriate transport and disposal

From start to finish, we approach every job with safety, care and professionalism, helping get the site ready for its next chapter.

🚧 Our 23-tonne excavator made light work of this demolition 💪

This building had reached the end of its life, so our team and trucks stepped in and brought it down for our client. Here's what we did:

▪️ Safely removed all hazardous materials identified in the pre demolition survey and asbestos register
▪️ Demolished the entire building to ground level
▪️ Cleared the site including the external paved and concreted areas
▪️ Separated the waste materials for recycling and loaded everything straight into our semi-trailer tippers for transportation 🚛

Where possible, the waste materials then went to another site, where they were processed, recycled and repurposed ♻️

Demolition done properly, from start to finish.

🛁 Bathroom Renovation with Asbestos Removal

You wouldn’t know it by looking at older bathrooms, but asbestos can be found in many homes built or renovated before 1990.

In this 1970s home, we safely removed the asbestos containing wall linings, making way for this brand new bathroom. 🛁

Asbestos was commonly used in wet areas like bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, and could be found in walls, flooring, ceilings, splashbacks and even pipe lagging (insulation around pipes).

If your home was built or renovated before 1990, make sure you test for possible asbestos before starting your renovation.

Safety first, every time.

Class A Friable Asbestos Removal - Textured Popcorn (Vermiculite) Ceilings

At this two-storey apartment complex in West Beach, Class A friable asbestos containing textured coating, commonly known as a popcorn ceiling, was identified across the balcony and porch ceilings.

Class A friable asbestos can be easily crumbled and release airborne asbestos fibres when disturbed, strict containment and controlled removal procedures were essential.

Our crews installed 200-micron plastic sheeting onto a purpose-built timber frame, installed negative pressure units and established three-stage decontamination facilities before removal began.

The asbestos containing coating was then safely removed, contained and transported to a licensed EPA waste facility.

The project was completed in accordance with SafeWork SA requirements, with air monitoring, compliance checks and final clearance undertaken by an independent licensed asbestos assessor before the clearance certificate was issued.

Careful preparation. Strict procedures. Safe and compliant removal from start to finish.
Protecting our workers, residents, and the surrounding environment.

⚠️ Got old vinyl or lino flooring? Read this before you touch it! ⚠️

If your home was built or renovated before 1990, that vinyl flooring (or what's underneath it) could contain asbestos.

The tricky part: homes often have layer upon layer of flooring. Rip up the top layer thinking you're in the clear, and the bottom layer could still be asbestos vinyl. Test every layer, right down to the subfloor.

Two types to know:

🔸 Class B (non-friable) – asbestos containing vinyl tiles, Fibres are tightly bound, compressed and not normally released unless disturbed, damaged or badly weathered. If left undisturbed in good condition, the risk are much lower. These types of floor exceeding 10m2 must be removed by a Class B licensed asbestos removalist.

🔴 Class A (friable) – Asbestos Backed Vinyl (ABV) – backing often 80–100% asbestos and can crumble by hand. More hazardous than non-friable, as fibres are more easily released. Must always be removed by a Class A licensed asbestos removalist.

⚠️ Even the adhesives and glues used to lay old flooring can contain asbestos.

Bottom line: you can't tell asbestos flooring just by looking at it, testing every layer is the only way to know for sure.

🔬 Asbestos Testing: We come to you anywhere in SA, or drop a sample at our Edwardstown office. Results in 5 business days, with urgent 24-hour testing available.

👉 Before you rip it up, DIY or through a flooring company, get it tested first. It could save time delays down the track when you're ready to install your new floor.

Call or message us for more info and pricing on testing.

🏠 Before, during and after asbestos removal

This laundry renovation began with the safe removal of asbestos containing wall linings and ceiling materials.

Once the removal work was completed, the space was ready for its fresh new fit-out, creating a brighter, cleaner and more functional laundry.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were also pleased to receive this wonderful 5 Star Google review from our customer:

“I was very impressed with the service that I received. The two guys who did the job were very thorough, and cleaning up later was excellent. I would definitely use their services in the future and recommend them to anyone else needing asbestos removal.” - Ian

In many older homes, asbestos containing products were commonly used in wet areas such as laundries, bathrooms and kitchens, including wall and ceiling linings, flooring and backing materials, because they were durable and resistant to heat and moisture.
