Damaged asbestos? We make it safe — fast.

Accidents, storms, fire and floods can shatter asbestos materials and put your household or workplace at risk. Our emergency team attends quickly to isolate, stabilise and contain the material — a permanent repair where possible, a temporary make-safe where it isn't.

When the unexpected happens

One-third of Australian homes still contain asbestos, so storm, fire or impact damage can expose fibres with little warning. We attend the site, run a risk assessment to gauge the contamination, and act immediately to minimise airborne fibre — so the area can be made safe before full removal or remediation.

Make Safe FAQs

What counts as an asbestos emergency?

Any sudden event that damages asbestos materials — storm, fire, flood, impact or an accident during DIY — can release fibres. If asbestos sheeting is broken, cracked or dislodged, treat it as an emergency and keep people away from the area.

What's the difference between make-safe and removal?

Make-safe is the immediate step: isolating, stabilising and containing the damaged material so fibres aren't released. Full removal or remediation follows once the site is safe. Where a permanent repair isn't possible straight away, we put a temporary make-safe in place.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

Yes. We can work directly with your insurer and provide photos and reports of the damage, so your environmental clean-up claim can proceed smoothly. (Confirm insurer-liaison details before launch.)

What should I do right now?

Keep people and pets away from the damaged area, don't sweep or disturb debris, and call us on 1300 019 657 for an immediate response.
