What comes up in Penrith

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Weathered shed roofing

Rural and suburban outbuildings around Penrith carry the most weathered cement sheet on any property, because nothing has ever been done to it.

How it is handled
Condition assessed before anything is touched. Badly weathered sheeting may have to be handled as friable, which is a different licence class and tighter controls.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, with air monitoring where the condition requires it.

Commercial building interior

Older Penrith commercial stock hides material in flues, switchboard backing, fire doors and vinyl tile adhesive rather than in the obvious places.

How it is handled
A survey of the whole building before the scope is written, then removal sequenced so the parts that stay open remain usable.
What does it
Licensed removalists to a control plan, independent assessor for clearance.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Post-war residential stock With bonded asbestos in eaves, sheeting, roofing and wet area linings assumed until tested.
  • Older commercial buildings Where material turns up in places people do not expect: flues, switchboard backing, vinyl tiles and the adhesive under them.
  • Semi rural sheds and outbuildings Fibro sheeting and roofing, frequently weathered.
  • Weathered material Which may have to be handled as friable rather than bonded.

Penrith and the surrounding semi rural blocks generally have room to work, which helps when material has to be wrapped, staged and loaded without being carried far. Where a shed is weathered or damaged the controls are tighter and the area is set up before anything is touched.

What we do in Penrith

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

The consent authority for the property sets the conditions, the hours and the notification requirements, and the service disconnections sit with the authorities rather than with us.

Penrith questions

What people ask before we start

What is the difference between bonded and friable asbestos?
Bonded material has the fibres held in a cement matrix, like fibro sheeting. Friable material is loose or crumbling, like pipe lagging or damaged insulation. Friable work requires a different licence class and much tighter controls, including air monitoring.
Can you test before I commit to anything?
Yes. Inspection and sampling is a job in its own right, and the result determines the scope, the controls and the price of any removal rather than the other way around.
Do you work on rural and semi rural blocks?
Yes, and there is usually room to do it properly. Sheds, outbuildings and farm structures are a different mix from a suburban street, and old fibro turns up in them regularly.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
