Found asbestos in Sydney?
If your home was built or renovated before 1987, there's a strong chance it contains asbestos.
It's often in the eaves, an old bathroom or laundry wall, a garage roof, the fence or under the floor coverings. Left alone and in good condition it's low risk. Cut, drilled, sanded or broken during a renovation, repair or demolition, it can release fibres into the air, putting your health and your family's health at risk.
Under NSW law, removing more than 10 square metres has to be done by a licensed asbestos removalist. Handling it yourself, or hiring an unlicensed operator, is illegal and dangerous.
That's where we come in. We assess it, tell you exactly what needs to happen, and handle the removal and disposal across Greater Sydney so you don't have to.
NSW rules, in short
Based on SafeWork NSW guidance.
10 m²
Fibro sheeting, eaves, roofing and other non-friable (bonded) asbestos over 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed removalist.
Any
Loose or crumbly asbestos, like pipe lagging or damaged insulation, needs a Class A licensed removalist, whatever the size.
5 days
Licensed removal work is notified to SafeWork NSW at least 5 days before it starts, and the area has a clearance inspection when it's done.
XOP's asbestos removal is carried out under SafeWork NSW asbestos removal licence AD214459, Class B, for bonded (non-friable) asbestos. The licence is held by Kd Demo And Stripouts Pty Ltd, under the same ownership as XOP Australia.
What we remove
Residential, commercial and construction properties, small jobs to whole buildings.
Old corrugated fibro roofs on houses, garages, carports and sheds.
Fibro eave linings, often the first thing found in a pre 1987 home.
Bathroom, laundry and kitchen walls, and external fibro cladding.
Vinyl floor tiles and the adhesive under them, before a new floor goes down.
Fibro fencing and backyard sheds, removed and the area cleared.
Asbestos out first, then we can demolish and clear the block with our own machines.
Friable asbestos (pipe lagging, loose fill or damaged sprayed insulation) needs a Class A removalist. If we find it during the assessment, we'll tell you straight away.
Why XOP
Most asbestos jobs are part of something bigger: a renovation, a knockdown rebuild, an insurance repair. XOP is a demolition, civil and remedial contractor, so the team that removes the asbestos can also strip the building back, demolish it and clear the block.
A complete fleet of excavators and semi trucks means no delays waiting on hired machinery, and no handing your job between contractors.

Questions
It depends on the type of material, how much there is, the access and the disposal. That's why we look at it on site for free and give you a written quote before any work starts, with no hidden fees.
In NSW, yes for more than 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos, and for any amount of friable asbestos, which needs a Class A removalist. Even under 10 square metres, SafeWork NSW recommends using a licensed removalist.
Properties built or renovated before 1987 are the most likely to contain it, and only a lab test can confirm it. Until then, don't break, cut or sand anything you're unsure about. Book the free assessment and we'll tell you what we see and whether testing makes sense.
Friable asbestos needs a Class A licence. The licence XOP works under (AD214459, held by Kd Demo And Stripouts Pty Ltd, same ownership) is Class B, which covers bonded (non-friable) asbestos such as fibro sheeting, eaves, roofing and vinyl floor tiles. If the assessment finds friable material, we'll tell you straight away.
Yes. XOP is a demolition, civil and remedial contractor. Once the asbestos is out, the same crew can strip the building back, demolish it and clear the block with our own excavators and trucks.
We remove and dispose of it following all required safety and legal protocols. In NSW that means it's wrapped and sealed on site and taken to a facility licensed to accept asbestos waste.
Yes. We work on homes, commercial sites and construction jobs, and insurance companies use us to return a site to bare structure so their clients get a proper like for like finish.
