What goes into your quote.

Small removal jobs

AJ's current published guide indicates around $1,800–$2,800 + GST for smaller jobs, depending on access, quantity, disposal and the work required. This is an indicative range, not a minimum fee or a booking price.

Bathroom asbestos removal

The published guide indicates approximately $2,500–$5,500 + GST for a typical residential asbestos bathroom removal. Upstairs rooms, compressed flooring, tiles and difficult access can increase the cost.

What changes a quote?

Quantity, height, narrow access, strongly bonded tiles, multiple flooring layers, site protection, waste volumes and independent clearance arrangements can all change the scope.

Clear scope before work starts

Where the scope is clear, AJ provides a quoted price. Removal, disposal, additional demolition and independent hygienist services should be identified as included or excluded. Unforeseen material is discussed before additional work proceeds.

Indicative ranges from AJ's live cost guide reviewed September 2026. Prices are + GST, depend on the confirmed scope, and may change. Contact Jamie for a current quote.

Why similar-sized jobs can cost differently

Height and access

Eaves and external sheeting may need a different access setup from a ground-floor room. Reaching the work safely, protecting what stays and moving waste through the property all affect the scope. The photograph illustrates an access factor, not a fixed-price job.

Flooring and what is underneath

Floor coverings, bonded finishes and underlying sheets can involve different materials and layers. The complete flooring system and its condition need assessment before the scope is priced. AJ's Class B licence does not cover friable material; specialist work may be needed.

Your questions, answered.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos and measurements can help establish the likely scope. Larger or complicated projects may need a site inspection before a final quote.

Do you use a single square-metre rate?

The complete job matters. Access, installation and the work needed to expose the material can vary substantially even when the measured area is the same.

What work does AJ's asbestos licence cover?

AJ holds non-friable asbestos removal licence AD214621. If the job involves friable material, Jamie can point you towards an appropriately licensed specialist.

Can you also complete a strip-out or demolition?

Yes. AJ also holds demolition licence AD204230, so asbestos removal and demolition can be discussed as one coordinated scope.

Can you arrange independent clearance?

For licensed asbestos removal, an independent clearance inspection and certificate are required before the area is reoccupied. For non-friable work, the certificate can be issued by an appropriately qualified independent competent person or asbestos assessor, not AJ's removal crew. Jamie explains the arrangements for your job before work starts.
