Why Safe Asbestos Removal Is Essential for Older Homes in Lismore

Many homes across Lismore were built before the late 1980s—a time when asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in Australian residential construction. These materials were prized for their durability, fire resistance and affordability. However, we now know that asbestos fibres pose serious health risks when disturbed. That’s why safe, professional asbestos removal in Lismore is vital for homeowners undertaking renovations, repairs or demolitions in the region.


Older homes in Lismore are particularly at risk of containing asbestos in areas like eaves, ceilings, bathrooms and roof sheeting. Over time, weather damage, DIY renovations or wear and tear can cause these materials to deteriorate, increasing the likelihood of airborne fibre exposure. Once inhaled, asbestos fibres can lead to life-threatening conditions such as asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer.


At Ballina Demolitions, we provide licensed asbestos inspections, testing, removal and safe disposal to protect your family, neighbours and environment. Whether you’re planning a minor upgrade or full structural work, it’s important to know where asbestos may be hiding. Common home areas that may need asbestos removal in Lismore include the ones below.


  • Corrugated cement roofing and wall sheeting
  • Vinyl flooring and tile adhesives
  • Wet area linings (bathrooms, laundries)
  • Fencing panels and outdoor sheds
  • Eaves, ceilings and insulation materials


Our licensed technicians are trained to manage all forms of asbestos safely and in full compliance with NSW regulations. With professional asbestos removal in Lismore from Ballina Demolitions, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job is done properly—minimising health risks and keeping your renovation or demolition project on track. Don’t take chances with asbestos—trust a local professional team to get it done right.


How Asbestos Removal in Lismore Complies with NSW Health and Safety Guidelines

Proper asbestos removal in Lismore is not just a best practice—it’s a legal requirement in New South Wales. For homeowners, landlords and builders in Lismore, understanding how asbestos removal must be carried out under Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations is essential. At Ballina Demolitions, we take every precaution to make sure that our asbestos removal in Lismore follows strict NSW guidelines to protect your health and avoid hefty penalties.


The NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 outlines clear responsibilities when it comes to the identification, management and removal of asbestos. Any work involving friable asbestos, or more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, must be done by a licensed asbestos removalist. As a licensed contractor, Ballina Demolitions is fully authorised to handle both Class A (friable) and Class B (non-friable) asbestos.


From site preparation to final clearance, we take a methodical approach to compliance. This includes using personal protective equipment (PPE), containing the work area, applying wet removal techniques to reduce fibre release and disposing of materials at an EPA-approved facility. We also provide all required documentation, including an asbestos control plan and air monitoring reports if needed. Key ways we comply with NSW health and safety regulations include the following.


  • Conducting pre-removal asbestos inspections and risk assessments
  • Using only licensed supervisors and technicians
  • Implementing asbestos control plans and notification to SafeWork NSW when required
  • Using Class H HEPA vacuums and wet methods to minimise fibre spread
  • Providing clearance certificates and safe waste disposal tracking
  • Maintaining up-to-date staff training and insurance documentation


Whether you’re planning a renovation or large-scale demolition in Lismore, you need a professional team who understands the legal framework surrounding asbestos. Our approach to asbestos removal in Lismore is centred on safety, accountability and efficiency—helping you move forward with your project while staying fully compliant with NSW regulations.
