Our Solutions
Asbestos removal isn’t one-size-fits-all. The approach depends on whether the material is friable or non-friable, where it sits, and what’s operating around it. Every project starts with an assessment of the material, site access and surrounding risk, before AAH plans the safest and most practical removal method for that specific job.
For friable asbestos, material that crumbles by hand and releases fibres easily, we establish full containment with negative pressure enclosures and HEPA filtration, with air monitoring throughout and independent clearance testing before the site is handed back. Non-friable material, bonded into a solid form like cement sheeting, is lower risk while intact and is removed under a controlled but less intensive process. All removed material is transported and disposed of through our own EPA-licensed trucks, meeting full asbestos and waste material regulations.
Beyond removal itself, our in-house carpentry and building team can deliver reinstatement, surface finishes and minor building works, so a site isn’t just made safe, it’s handed back ready to use.

Where We Work

What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre used widely in building materials until the late 1980s. When disturbed, it releases microscopic fibres that can cause serious lung disease decades after exposure, which is why removal is tightly regulated.
What’s the difference between friable and non-friable asbestos?
Non-friable asbestos is bonded into a solid material like cement sheeting and is lower risk while intact. Friable asbestos can be crumbled by hand and releases fibres easily, so it requires a Class A licensed removalist and full containment.
What is a Class A licence?
A Class A licence is the highest level of asbestos removal licence, permitting the holder to remove friable asbestos as well as non-friable material. AAH has been a licensed Class A removalist since 1993.
Can I tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it?
Not reliably. Asbestos-containing materials often look identical to safe ones, and the only way to confirm is laboratory testing. If you suspect a material, leave it undisturbed and arrange an inspection.
Does asbestos removal need to be done by a professional?
Yes. Beyond the legal requirement, professional removal protects everyone on site from exposure and provides the clearance certification needed to safely reoccupy or continue work on the space.
How is asbestos removal priced?
Cost depends on the type and amount of asbestos, access, and the containment required. Every project is quoted individually after assessment, so you get an accurate price rather than a surprise variation later.
