Need an asbestos removal service but don’t know how much it costs?
In this article we’ll talk about whether there’s a specific price you can expect to pay for asbestos, things that influence the cost and how we can help.
So How Much Can You Expect to Pay for Asbestos Removal?
Because of the nature of asbestos removal, it can be difficult to provide you with a quote estimate without inspecting the premises first. Generally the price is calculated by square meterage rather than how long the removal will take.
Depending on the severity of your asbestos, some people may pay less than $100 per square metre while others can spend up to thousands of dollars per square metre.
For this reason, we recommend contacting us directly so we can arrange an inspection and provide an accurate quote.
Factors Influencing Cost of Asbestos Removal
There are a number of factors which can influence the cost of asbestos removal on your property. In this section, we’ll break them down a little further so you understand what you’re in for:
Type of Asbestos
You’d be forgiven for thinking there’s only one type of asbestos. In fact, there are two:
- Friable – the more dangerous of the two as it’s more likely to become airborne
- Non-friable – less dangerous as it can be handled and is less likely to get into the air
The type of asbestos you have on your property is something we have to consider as it can influence anything from the safety measures we have to follow to remove it to whether it can be removed.
Size of Area
How much asbestos you have and the size of the area in which it is contained (if indeed it is contained) is also something we have to take into account when providing you with an accurate quote for asbestos removal.
Access & Location
Access to the asbestos will influence the safety protocols we follow, which in turn will influence the cost of the removal process. For this reason it’s something you need to know will likely affect the price you expect to pay for the service.
How the Area is Used
How the area is used is also something that influences your quote calculation. We also need to determine whether there are neighbours nearby as this will affect the steps we take to remove your asbestos.
For instance, a school where the area is constantly accessed by children – who are more susceptible to getting sick when exposed to asbestos – may need to be closed and a more thorough removal process used to protect your safety.
This will no doubt influence the cost of the removal.
Additional Services
Sometimes, removal of asbestos is not enough for the job to be completed safely. You may need other services such as:
– testing
– air monitoring
– disposal and clearance inspections
