We engaged another asbestos company to complete a very difficult job at our home. On the day of the works, they walked off site because it was too hard.
I called Advanced Deconstruction and they arrived the very next morning, did up a quote and returned to do the job. I am so glad that first company didn't do the work, from the first contact with Advanced Deconstruction, to the very last day of the job, we were blown away by their professionalism, extraordinary hard work, customer service and expertise.
This was not a fun job by any means, but they made light of the hard work and the result is that people are now stopping in front of our home to take photos because it looks amazing.
Do not bother engaging any other company, Justin and his team are the best, our home was even left in a much cleaner state than before they even arrived.
The price quoted was absolutely reasonable and it never changed despite how hard the job was. I cannot recommend this team highly enough, I would simply suggest you don't bother going anywhere else.

Asbestos Removal Services Provided:
Bonded Asbestos Removal
Bonded asbestos is any material that contains asbestos and has a strong bonding matrix. This matrix is usually cement, which means it is very stable.
Bonded Asbestos is the most common type of asbestos in Queensland. Most houses only contain bonded asbestos, though there are exceptions.
Bonded asbestos risks are easier to control and manage due to the cement that bonds the asbestos into the sheet.The stability of the product means it is less likely that asbestos fibres will get into the air during removal or maintenance.
Examples of bonded asbestos in the home
- Asbestos cement internal sheeting
- Corrugated ‘Super six’ roof sheeting used as fencing, often buried in the ground at it’s base
- Hardiplank wall cladding
- Slotted or smooth soffit/eave sheeting
- Roof sheeting and capping
- Guttering
- Gable end sheeting
- Toilet vent pipes
- Water and storm water pipes
- Drain trap surround cuffs
- External cladding (flat sheet or plank style)
- Car ports and shed linings
- Imitation brick cladding
- Telecommunications pits
- Zelimite backing boards in switchboards
Friable Asbestos Removal
Friable asbestos products contain loosely packed asbestos fibres and can be crushed easily in the hand. Examples of friable asbestos products include insulating rope on old oven doors, asbestos insulation and asbestos fibre blankets.
Friable Asbestos Removal is the most dangerous type of asbestos removal. While it is more common in government and commercial buildings friable asbestos can still be found in the home.
Friable asbestos is any material that contains asbestos and is in the form of a power or can be crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Friable asbestos risk are challenging to control due to how easily the asbestos fibres are released into the air from a friable asbestos product.
This means special equipment must be used to completely control air flow during a friable asbestos removal.
This equipment includes:
- Negative Pressure Unit
Controls airflow and filters the contaminated air. - Powered Air Respiratory Protection Full face mask, with a battery pack and two P3 filters to protect the breathing zone of our staff.
- Wet Decontamination Unit
A three or five stage system allows staff to clean their equipment and person so that they safely remove their personal protective equipment when leaving the enclosure. - Air-monitoring pumps
Monitors the air quality in and around the enclosure.
Queensland Law dictates that friable materials containing asbestos must only be handled and removed by a company holding an ‘A’ Class Asbestos Removal Licence. Advanced Deconstruction holds an A Class Asbestos Removal Licence.

Domestic Asbestos Inspections
Pre-sale and pre-purchase asbestos inspections are becoming more common as people become aware that many houses built in Brisbane & Queensland prior to 1990 contain asbestos.
Inspections of this nature are non-destructive and can be done without damaging the home. Samples collected during such inspections are done discreetly so there is no visible damage to the walls or ceilings.
All of our consultants are licensed Asbestos Assessors.
There are two types of inspections that people commonly request:
Visual inspection
The main point of this inspection is to identify asbestos materials present in the home. It involves one of our qualified consultants walking through the home and identifying any potential asbestos materials that can be seen. Samples can be taken to confirm the presence of asbestos or to determine if a product is friable.
We are also able to provide a budget estimate for the removal of identified materials which can be used as part of price negotiation.
Written report
A written report is a service provided in addition to a visual inspection. This report will list all of the identified asbestos materials, as well as provide risk assessments of its condition and provide recommended actions that can be taken to reduce risk if necessary.
Written reports are usually requested where there are known risks that need to be managed, or where the person requesting the inspection is not able to be present at the time of the inspection.
Asbestos Clean-Up
Asbestos Clean Up (also referred to as remediation or abatement) is usually necessary when asbestos has been accidentally or inadvertently discovered, disturbed or removed. This can be necessary after severe weather events, fires, demolition, renovation, or as a result of earthworks. Advanced Deconstruction specialises in this type of work and has responded to a number of major and very sensitive disaster and emergency projects.
Often these are emergency situations where a quick response is necessary. It is important to remember that once asbestos has been damaged the main priority is to minimise the risk of exposure to people. The best way to do this is remove people from the area completely. If you have appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) you can then consider further measures including sealing the contaminated area off so that it is air tight (if possible), or reduce the risks of airborne dust with water and cover the damaged asbestos.
Never touch or disturb damaged asbestos without appropriate PPE and training. Even wet asbestos can pose a health threat if it has been damaged. Certain types of asbestos are water repellent, so a sheet that is wet on the outside will often still be dry internally and further damage can release fibres in the air. If you do not have the correct PPE the safest option is to remove yourself from the damaged asbestos.
Commercial Asbestos Registers & Asbestos Management Plans
All commercial buildings (including the body corporate controlled areas of residential units or estates) built prior to 1990 require an asbestos register by law. Where asbestos has been identified at the site an Asbestos Management Plan is also required.
Advanced Deconstruction provides commercial asbestos registers that are easy to understand, legally compliant and affordable. Our Asbestos Management Plans are simple to implement and we can manage your asbestos safety and monitoring compliance from start to finish.
Advanced Deconstruction is also a licensed asbestos removal contractor. This means we are able to assist your business in managing any asbestos risks identified during our inspections promptly and efficiently. Minor issues identified during our inspections can be corrected on the spot rather than being put off for another contractor to deal with.
Advanced Deconstruction has the capacity to respond to urgent requests when asbestos registers are required as part of a sale or lease agreement. If required an inspection can be undertaken and documentation produced within 24-48 hours.
