Asbestos in commercial buildings

In commercial buildings constructed before the 1990s, asbestos was extensively used across structural, decorative, and mechanical components due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. Common areas where asbestos can be found include:

  • Roofing: Roof sheeting and corrugated panels
  • Ceilings: Ceiling panels, insulation, and fireproofing materials
  • Walls & eaves: Wall sheeting, partitions, and textured coatings
  • Flooring: Floor tiles, vinyl flooring, and black adhesive
  • Pipes and insulation: Air-conditioning duct insulation, heating ducts, pipes, and lagging
  • Utility shafts: Lift wells, service risers, and utility shafts
  • Eaves & cladding: External cladding, eaves, and facade materials
  • Boilers and heating systems: Insulation in boilers, furnaces, and heating ducts

Identifying and managing asbestos in commercial property is essential to protect the health and safety of tenants, contractors, and visitors. Property owners and building managers have legal duties under WorkSafe WA regulations to maintain an asbestos register and implement proper asbestos management plan practices.

If asbestos-containing material is damaged or disturbed during maintenance, leasing work, or renovation activities, it’s critical to follow appropriate safety protocols for removal and abatement to prevent the release of hazardous airborne asbestos fibres.

Property owners’ frequently asked questions

Commercial property asbestos removal costs vary depending on the material type, area size, location, and access requirements. Pricing typically starts from $50 per square metre with a minimum job cost of $950 + GST.

For an accurate asbestos survey cost commercial property owners can rely on, we offer free on-site inspections and testing to assess the scope and provide a locked-in quote with no hidden costs.

Licensed asbestos removalists follow strict WorkSafe WA protocols. We isolate and seal the work area, use compliant PPE and HEPA-filtered equipment, carefully remove asbestos-containing material to prevent fibre release, double-bag waste in sealed containers, transport to licensed disposal facilities, and coordinate independent clearance inspections before reoccupation.

No. Asbestos use was banned in Australia from 31 December 2003. However, many commercial buildings constructed before the 1990s still contain asbestos material in structural and decorative components.

Property owners have legal responsibilities to identify, manage, or safely remove asbestos present in their buildings.

Visual identification alone is unreliable. The only way to confirm asbestos is through professional testing by NATA-accredited laboratories. Buildings constructed before 1990 should be presumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise. We offer free asbestos testing when contracted for removal work.

Commercial buildings, factories, warehouses, schools, office buildings, and industrial sites constructed before 1990 commonly contain asbestos. It's particularly prevalent in buildings from the 1950s to 1980s in roof sheeting, ceiling tiles, wall cladding, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and fire-rated materials.
