Reading the Rate: Minimums, Tonnage and Friable Loading
A per-square-metre rate is a guide, not the whole price. Minimum charges exist because setup, plastic wrapping and containment, transport and disposal happen on every job regardless of size. In NSW, more than 10m² of bonded asbestos needs a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist (SafeWork NSW), and every job still needs correct disposal. At Summerhill, disposal is $584 per tonne with an $82 minimum (City of Newcastle), and dense cement sheet adds up faster than most owners expect.
Comparing Two Quotes Fairly
Put both quotes side by side and check the scope: is scaffolding included, is soil clearance included, is the clearance certificate included, is disposal tonnage capped, and is the work being done by a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist? A cheaper headline rate that excludes disposal or clearance is usually the dearer quote. For job-specific breakdowns, see the fence, roof, wall sheeting and ceiling cost guides.
Got more than one asbestos job? Book them together on the same visit and they can share one clearance inspection instead of paying for a separate one each time. Clearance is from $300, so a fence, shed roof and eaves on the same property add up to a real saving.
All prices include GST. Every removal quote sets out removal, wrapping, transport, disposal and clearance before work starts.
