Asbestos Removal

We've had two houses done (big jobs) and two smaller jobs done by Somah and his men from Total Asbestos. We're very happy with him and his prices. He checks every job to see nothing has been missed and it is left clean.

First house was Holland Park two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, hallway area, separate toilet, all walls and ceilings in those areas removed, plus a small store room walls and ceilings under the house. Cost was $5K or thereabouts, and our son paid about the same to a plasterer to have the ceilings and walls replaced with plaster (but not the downstairs store room).

Other place was a bigger job in Coorparoo, with similar amount upstairs, (two bathrooms), no ceilings upstairs but wall sheeting of much larger rooms, and a considerable amount of ceiling and walls downstairs. That job was about $9K.

Both jobs included removing tiles, and all items in the rooms involved, ie. bath, large cupboards, vanity, glass screens, full kitchen in first house. I think there were three truckloads taken from the first job and not sure about the second.

Second job they completed gutted two bathrooms, including tiled floors, fittings, baths, vanities, glass screens, toilets.

We were going to remove all the fittings and dump them but it was not worth it for the saving and speed these men do it in, not to mention ripping baths out can break the sheets so much better that they do it with proper protection.
