What asbestos fencing looks like in Townsville
Where it exists locally, asbestos fencing is usually flat or corrugated bonded asbestos cement panels forming an older boundary line, typically installed decades ago alongside a fibro house. It is a far less common removal job here than roof sheeting or wall and cladding removal, which remain the dominant asbestos jobs in Townsville. Under the Public Health Regulation 2018 (Qld), a homeowner removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos from their own residential property must engage a licensed removalist or hold the required competency. A full boundary run of fencing will usually exceed that threshold.
Do not treat old fibro fencing as general waste
A deteriorated sheet should still be assessed before it is handled. Avoid breaking, cutting or crushing suspected asbestos cement. If you are unsure about the material, our testing and inspection service can help identify it.
Fencing can also be part of a broader exterior clean-up, including an older shed, garage or carport. Learn about compliant end-of-job handling on our asbestos disposal page.

Prices are a guide only and depend on size, access and condition. Your free on-site quote gives you a fixed price before any work starts.
