Asbestos clearance is an imperative Australian service that should never be overlooked. Afterall, this hazardous mineral causes the deaths of thousands of Australians every year, and has been the focal point of controversy regarding our building industry for many years.

If your home or commercial requires first class asbestos clearance, then it is important to know that there is a difference between a good and bad service.

Sure, each provider should do the exact job they are enlisted to do - safely remove asbestos - but there can be a great gulf between teams with plenty of experience and who will do the job efficiently and those who could potentially make a bit of a meal of it!

With this in mind, here are few vital tips on finding the right provider:

1. They have years of experience under their belts

This toxic mineral has been causing serious issues in Aussie homes and businesses for years now, and so there are a few teams out there that have been providing this vital service for some time. With this in mind, it’s always a good idea to go with the team with plenty of experience under their belts, so you can be sure that they will take care of the job safely and in the most efficient manner possible.

If you come across a company website and they can only tell you that they have a small amount of experience in providing this potentially life-saving service, then you might just want to look out for the team that can do the job to the highest efficiency!

2. They don’t just offer the cheapest price

Sure, in an ideal world everything would be that little bit cheaper, but this is a dangerous duty and with a dangerous duty comes a slightly higher price tag. What’s more, choosing a team with a reasonable price - but not one that is too small - is the best way to ensure you’re choosing a team with experience and the best equipment at their disposal.

If you choose a team just because they offer a lower price then you may be unfortunately picking a team without the skills, experience or equipment to ensure your home is truly safe from this nasty mineral.

3. Do your research

Google is a wonderful tool for finding the right businesses for your needs: cafes, mechanics - even asbestos clearance! And what’s even better about this is the way in which you can do your research on a company before you enlist them to provide this vital service. It may seem simple, but the clientele don’t lie: if they have had a good experience with this service then they will tell you about it, and they will definitely do the same if they have had a bad experience.

Therefore, it’s imperative to do your research, read up on some reviews and ensure that the team you are looking to go with is one that will surely do the job to the fullest capacity!

4. When can you come in?

Because why on Earth would you be wanting to wait around knowing your home or commercial property is ridden with life-threatening asbestos? You want it gone immediately and the right team should be sympathetic to this desire as well as happy to come in and provide this service within a short time frame of your request.

You don’t want to wait a year for it to be gone and they should be able to accommodate this desire!
