    Hi Guys,

    I recently purchased a brick veneer house built in the 1960's, and plan to do some renovation work before moving in. The works include: increase window size at front of house, remove wall between lounge and kitchen, remodel kitchen including removal of floor tiles, and possibly convert adjoining laundry into part of the kitchen to increase kitchen space.

    I would like to have a full inspection of any asbestos on the property before staring the reno work.

    Can anyone recommend an inspection company in Sydney they have used that does a thorough job in the inspection?

    And secondly, are there any suggestions for reputable asbestos removalist in the Sydney metro area?

    Try Airsafe for the inspection.

    They can recommend removal companies in your area for removal if you need.
