Key Facts About Asbestos Roof Removal

Queensland law requires licensed disposal at approved asbestos waste facilities with full tracking documentation.
Asbestos cement fencing was commonly used in Queensland between the 1950s and late 1980s due to its durability and fire resistance.
Many homes built before 1990 still contain asbestos fence panels, particularly along boundary lines and in side or rear yards.
Over time, asbestos fences deteriorate due to UV exposure, moisture, physical damage, and weather events, increasing fibre release risk.
Under the Queensland Work Health & Safety Regulation 2011, asbestos removal must be completed by licensed asbestos removal contractors.
Any fencing material that is cracked, broken, degraded, or friable presents a significantly higher health risk.
Asbestos waste must be transported by licensed carriers and disposed of at approved Queensland asbestos waste facilities.
Illegal dumping of asbestos fencing attracts substantial penalties in Queensland.

What flooring materials in Queensland commonly contain asbestos?

Common asbestos-containing flooring materials found in Queensland homes include:

Vinyl floor tiles (typically 9×9 and 12×12)
Vinyl sheet flooring backing
Black mastic adhesive
Asbestos cement underlay
Fibro subfloor sheeting

If your home was built before 1990, testing is strongly recommended before renovation.

The only way to confirm asbestos is through professional sampling and laboratory testing, which Latham Projects can arrange as part of your inspection.

How can I tell if my fence contains asbestos?

If your fence consists of flat grey cement panels, particularly on a property built before 1990, there is a strong chance it contains asbestos. Visual identification alone is not reliable – professional testing is required to confirm asbestos content.

Can I remove asbestos fencing myself in Queensland?

No. In Queensland, licensed asbestos removalists are required for asbestos fence removal, particularly when panels are damaged, friable, or involve larger surface areas. DIY removal exposes you to serious health risks and regulatory penalties.
