Asbestos Fence Removal in Perth
Safe, Compliant Asbestos Fence Removal
Plenty of older blocks still have a grey cement sheet boundary that has weathered and cracked over decades. Left undisturbed it's generally low risk. The moment it starts to break, or gets drilled into or pulled down, it needs the right handling and the right disposal. At AF FENCING, we carry out asbestos fence removal in Perth to Western Australian requirements. The site is set up before any material is disturbed. Panels are removed intact wherever possible, then wrapped, labelled and taken straight to a licensed disposal facility. Neighbouring properties, gardens and reticulation are protected throughout. In almost every case we replace the removed fence in the same job, most commonly with Colorbond® fencing, plus gates where they existed before. That means one crew, one quote and one boundary handover. Call 0431 594 444 to arrange a licensed removal and a firm price for the replacement fence.
Frequently Asked Questions
A lot of Perth boundary fencing built through the 1960s to the 1980s used cement sheeting that can contain asbestos. It is usually grey, textured on one side, hard and cool to the touch, and often held between concrete or steel posts. Where there is any doubt, it should not be drilled, broken or pulled down. The safest approach is to treat suspected material as asbestos until it has been tested by a trained professional.

How The Removal Process Works
A typical asbestos fence removal job looks like this:
- On-site assessment: we walk the fence line, identify likely asbestos sheeting and quote both the removal and the replacement fence.
- Site preparation: the work zone is set up so material is not disturbed near open windows, air conditioners or neighbouring outdoor areas.
- Careful removal: panels are unscrewed and lifted out intact where possible rather than snapped, kept damp to control dust, then wrapped and sealed for transport.
- Licensed disposal: all waste goes to a facility that accepts asbestos material, with disposal documentation retained.
- Replacement fence installed: a new Colorbond®, aluminium slat or garrison fence goes up on the same boundary, usually in the same visit or within days.
