A material that sat safely for decades can turn into an active fibre-release risk the moment it is cracked, soaked, or torn open by water, storm, or accidental damage. That is the situation priority scheduling exists for – getting the area contained quickly matters more than almost anything else once that happens.
When you call about damage or a disturbance, we ask enough questions to actually understand the situation before telling you what happens next.
Flooding or roof damage can disturb ceiling, insulation, or flooring materials that were previously undisturbed.
If a material was damaged or broken during other renovation or repair work, we prioritize getting it safely contained.
Emergency calls are scheduled ahead of routine work where the situation calls for it.
Call us to describe the damage or disturbance so we can assess urgency.
We prioritize sealing off the affected area to stop further fibre release.
Material is tested and, where confirmed, removed using controlled methods.
The area is cleared and documented before normal use resumes.
Emergency calls move ahead of routine work when needed.
Sealing off the area comes first, before anything else.
Confirmed material is removed using controlled methods.
The space is documented safe before you use it again.
Emergency and priority-scheduled work is quoted on-site, since the scope depends entirely on the type and extent of damage or disturbance.

Priority scheduling available – call to discuss timing
Water damage, storm damage, or an accidental impact that breaks or disturbs a ceiling, flooring, or insulation material that may contain asbestos all count as situations where getting it contained quickly matters.
Call us to describe the situation and we'll prioritize scheduling based on the urgency and scope of the damage.
Our focus is safely containing, testing, and removing the asbestos-containing material. You'll still need a separate contractor for the broader water or storm damage repair once the area is cleared.
