HTS Group can help with sampling, removal and remediation of asbestos and lead from your home or renovation project. 


When we’re finished your asbestos removal, you’re left with a safe blank canvas to enjoy the rest of your renovation without looming health risks threatening you and your family.

Asbestos was outlawed

in Australia in 2003

One in every three Australian homes is

expected to contain asbestos

Breathing in contaminated asbestos dust or asbestos fibres can lead to asbestosis, mesothelioma, or lung cancer

How do we tell if it’s asbestos?  


First, we need to take a sample of the suspect product and send it to a NATA accredited lab.

We’ll always do this carefully; sometimes taking a small piece from behind a power point or switch can be a great non-invasive way of sampling. We’ll always seal up any exposed edges to ensure your safety.

If the lab results show asbestos, we can then remove it safely for you, dispose of it and remediate the area.

Find answers to some of the most common asbestos questions here, If you still have more questions, please get in touch.

Some of the precautions we take when removing asbestos:


No high-pressure water spray; 

No compressed air; 

No power tools or brooms or any other equipment that causes asbestos to become air borne.  

We will only use suitable equipment designed to capture or suppress airborne asbestos.

Onsite decontamination units where required.

Once the asbestos is safely removed it will be bagged, sealed and disposed of in accordance with state regulations.
