- Breathe Easy Asbestos Removal (B.E.A.R.) and Demolition specialises in asbestos insulation removal, which is necessary due to the health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
To mitigate these risks, asbestos-containing materials must be properly managed and, in some cases, removed. Asbestos insulation removal falls into different classes based on the level of risk and the necessary precautions.
The two categories are as follows:
Class A Asbestos Insulation Removal
When dry, friable asbestos is powder-like or can be crumbled by hand, making it more likely to release fibres into the air. Examples of friable asbestos-containing materials include loose-fill insulation, sprayed-on insulation, and certain types of pipe insulation.
Class B Asbestos Insulation Removal
This class involves the removal of non-friable asbestos-containing materials. Non-friable asbestos is more solid and less likely to release fibres unless damaged or disturbed. Examples of non-friable asbestos-containing materials include asbestos-cement products, such as pipes and tiles.
If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your home or workplace, you should consult with us immediately.

How We Conduct Asbestos Insulation Removal
Asbestos removal is subject to strict regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety of workers and the public. We take the following steps during the asbestos insulation removal process:
We assess the extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and determine the appropriate removal strategy. Our team then develops a comprehensive removal plan that includes containment measures, safety protocols, and waste disposal procedures.
Our team obtain the necessary permits and approvals.
We establish a containment area to isolate the work area from the rest of the building. This typically involves sealing the area with plastic sheeting and creating a negative air pressure environment to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres.
Our experts use wet removal methods to minimise the release of asbestos fibres. This includes misting the materials with water to prevent dust generation.
Removal
Our team carefully removes asbestos-containing insulation materials, avoiding any breakage or damage that could release fibres. We use hand tools to minimise dust generation and place asbestos waste in sealed-labelled containers.
We also clean the work area using wet methods and HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners to ensure the removal of any remaining asbestos fibres. The team then disposes of asbestos waste and transports the waste to an approved landfill for hazardous materials.
Breathe Easy Asbestos Removal (B.E.A.R.) and Demolition experts conduct air monitoring throughout the removal process to assess the concentration of asbestos fibres. This ensures that the work area meets safety standards before allowing reoccupation.
We also undergo thorough decontamination procedures before leaving the work area, ensuring the safety of our workers and others.

They are as follows:
- Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Removing asbestos insulation helps prevent inhaling asbestos fibres, reducing the risk of these diseases.
- Properties containing asbestos may be perceived as a health risk, and their value may be negatively affected. Removing asbestos insulation can enhance the marketability and value of a property, especially if it involves renovations or sales.
- Asbestos fibres can linger in the air for extended periods if not properly contained or removed. Removing asbestos insulation improves indoor air quality, creating a healthier living or working environment.
- Knowing that asbestos insulation has been safely removed provides peace of mind for building occupants, reducing concerns about potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
