SafeWork NSW licensed removalists · Free on-site quotes · Clearance arranged
In NSW, removing more than 10m² of bonded asbestos needs at least a SafeWork NSW Class B licence (SafeWork NSW). That limit is an area, not 10 metres of fence, so a full fence line is rarely a DIY job. We connect you with licensed removalists who wet down, carefully lift and wrap the sheets, clean the work area and complete compliant disposal. Most single-fence jobs take half a day, with the scope confirmed on site.
From $1,500, roughly $90 to $160 per metre. See our full fence removal cost guide.

Fibro and Super Six Fencing in Newcastle
Newcastle Asbestos Removals connects you with licensed removalists for fibro fencing across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, from backyard fences in Wallsend and Mayfield to shared fence lines in Charlestown. Corrugated asbestos cement fencing, often sold as Super Six, turns up behind plenty of older homes. Decades on, these fences are frequently brittle, cracked, leaning or storm-damaged.
Not sure what type of fence you have? Our Newcastle fibro and Super Six fencing guide explains the common visual clues, why older panels become a risk, and when laboratory testing is needed.
Licensed removal is a must. Breakage during removal releases hazardous fibres, and buried fragments in the soil must be carefully identified and extracted. All material is then double-wrapped for compliant disposal at a facility licensed to take asbestos. If you are unsure whether your fence contains asbestos, our asbestos testing service can confirm through laboratory analysis before any work begins.
If your fence sits on a shared boundary, talk to your neighbour before work starts and agree on the plan and how the cost is shared.

Pricing & Compliance
Pricing depends heavily on access, condition, and volume. Every job is quoted on site to provide an accurate figure. For a full per-metre breakdown and shared-boundary guidance, see our asbestos fence removal cost guide.
The 10m² Rule
The NSW unlicensed limit is 10m² or less of non-friable asbestos in total. A 1.8m high fence passes 10m² in under 6 metres of length. Over that, licensed removalists notify SafeWork NSW at least 5 calendar days before work (SafeWork NSW).
