WHSQ notice
For licensed work we notify WHSQ (Form 65) at least five calendar days before removal starts, and lock in the date with you.

Set up and seal off
Barriers and signs go up, nearby surfaces are covered, and the material is kept damp to hold dust down.

Contents moved
We ask you to clear the shed, or we agree what stays and gets covered.

Roof sheets come off first, whole, then wall sheets, then the frame if it's going.

The Queensland rules for this job
- Two licence types exist. A Class A licence covers friable and bonded asbestos. A Class B licence covers more than 10 m² of bonded asbestos only, never friable (WHSQ licensing).
- Homeowners can remove 10 m² or less of bonded asbestos without a certificate, but still need to work safely and dispose of it legally. More than 10 m² needs a Queensland Health approved homeowner certificate or a licensed removalist. A job can't be split across days to get under the limit, and homeowners can never remove friable asbestos (Queensland Government).
- Licensed removalists notify Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (Form 65) at least five calendar days before licensed work starts (WHSQ notifications).
- Clearance follows the work. After Class A work an independent licensed asbestos assessor does air monitoring and clearance. After Class B work an independent competent person does it. The certificate covers the work area, not the whole house (Queensland Government).
- Sheds are on QBCC's list of common places for asbestos around older homes (QBCC).

Common questions
Sizes, materials and condition vary so much that a guide number wouldn't mean much. We look at it and give you a fixed price instead.
If the bonded asbestos is 10 m² or less, a Queensland homeowner can, with safe work and legal disposal.
Most sheds have more than that, which needs a homeowner certificate or a licensed removalist (Queensland Government).
We can include the frame. Slab removal depends on the job, so tell us what you want left behind and we'll quote it.
Keep people and pets away, don't sweep or hose the pieces, and send us photos. Broken asbestos needs careful clean-up.
No. Asbestos can't go in general skips or bins.
Brisbane City Council doesn't accept it at resource recovery centres or in any bin (Brisbane City Council).
Brisbane City Council doesn't accept asbestos at any resource recovery centre, hazardous waste day or bin, and its Rochedale landfill takes approved contractors only (Brisbane City Council).
In Logan, Browns Plains takes small household loads booked by phone (Logan City Council), and in Moreton Bay the Caboolture, Dakabin and Redcliffe sites take it Monday to Friday with 24 hours' notice (Moreton Bay).
Ipswich's Riverview and Rosewood centres don't take it (Ipswich City Council). Dumping fines can exceed $50,000. Our disposal guide has the details.
