Licensed Asbestos Contractors

Safe Asbestos Removal & Site Remediation Across Sydney

Australia has one of the highest rates of asbestos-related disease in the world.

Any building constructed before 1990 may contain asbestos. Under NSW regulations, a competent person must identify and assess asbestos-containing materials before any demolition or renovation work begins. Don’t risk it, get it assessed by licensed professionals.

CMS Contracting’s licensed asbestos team handles the identification, containment, and removal of non-friable asbestos and other hazardous materials across Greater Sydney and regional NSW. Every job follows SafeWork NSW protocols, wet removal methods, full PPE, sealed work areas, air monitoring, and disposal through licensed carriers to approved facilities.

We also manage contaminated soil removal and site remediation for properties presenting with ecological challenges, contaminated fill, groundwater issues, and legacy hazmat problems that need proper treatment before development can proceed.
