Why You Should Engage Confluence Environmental Before Hiring an Asbestos Removal Contractor

When asbestos is discovered on a property, many homeowners or builders rush to call a removalist. But here's the truth: not all asbestos removal contractors are created equal—and choosing the wrong one could cost you far more than you expect.

At Confluence Environmental, we help you take the smart, safe, and legally sound path by assessing the asbestos risk first, and then connecting you with only high-quality, reputable, and affordable removal contractors. Here's why engaging us before hiring a removalist makes all the difference.

1. We Independently Confirm What Needs to Be Removed

Some removalists may over-scope the job to increase fees—or under-scope it, putting safety and compliance at risk. At Confluence Environmental, we:

• Conduct independent asbestos assessments and sampling

• Confirm exactly what materials contain asbestos

• Clearly define the extent, condition, and type of asbestos

• Provide a detailed site-specific report you can rely on

This protects you from unnecessary work, inflated costs, or unsafe practices. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before removal starts.

2. We Protect You From Low-Quality or Unlicensed Operators

Unfortunately, there are still removal contractors operating without appropriate qualifications, insurance, or safe work procedures. We’ve seen:

• Poor-quality removal work that leaves asbestos behind

• Lack of proper controls (no wet methods, inadequate PPE)

• Non-compliant waste disposal practices

• Absence of clearance certificates or air monitoring

As a licensed asbestos assessor, we only refer removal contractors who meet our strict standards—fully licensed, experienced, and known for their professional conduct, fair pricing, and compliance with SafeWork NSW regulations.

3. We Streamline the Entire Process For You

As part of our service, we:

• Coordinate directly with the removal contractor

• Issue clearance inspections and air monitoring post-removal

• Provide all required documentation to meet WHS and council obligations

• Help keep your renovation or demolition project on track

By managing both the assessment and post-removal clearance, we reduce delays, avoid miscommunication, and ensure everything is done properly from start to finish.

4. You Save Money By Getting It Right the First Time

We help you avoid:

• Paying for unnecessary or poorly scoped removal

• Unexpected delays or repeat works

• Fines or compliance issues

• Costly damage to your property from incorrect removal methods

Getting expert advice first is a small investment that pays off in peace of mind, better budgeting, and legal protection.

5. You Stay Legally Compliant and Insured

Under the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017, you have a legal duty to identify and manage asbestos risks before any work is carried out.

Engaging Confluence Environmental means:

• You’re meeting your obligations

• You’ll have documented evidence of risk assessment and safe work practices

• You’re protecting yourself from insurance rejections and liability
