Top Questions
How do I tell if my fence is asbestos?
Asbestos cement fence panels are typically 4–6 mm thick, grey or off-white, with a slightly fibrous edge when chipped. They feel heavier than modern fibre cement and 'ring' dully when tapped. If your fence dates from before 1990 and looks like fibro, treat it as asbestos until tested. ARSN can take a NATA-accredited sample for $200–$300 if you want certainty before quoting removal.
Do I need to tell my neighbour?
If the fence is on a shared boundary, NSW Dividing Fences Act requires notice. ARSN provides a neighbour notification template and can liaise directly with the adjoining owner — including offering them a discounted simultaneous removal of their side.
Old grey or off-white fibro boundary fences across Sydney — particularly in the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs and pre-1990 Western Sydney estates — are almost always asbestos cement. ARSN provides licensed asbestos fence removal across all 45 Sydney suburbs we service, with sealed transport, EPA disposal and a clearance certificate as standard.
Asbestos fences become brittle and fibre-releasing as they weather. Bumping them with a mower, drilling a hook for a hose reel, or simply a strong wind can crack panels and release fibres directly into your yard, garden beds and pool area — exactly where children and pets play. The good news is that bonded asbestos fence removal is one of the fastest, most affordable ARSN jobs.
We remove asbestos fence panels intact, double-bag them on site, and arrange sealed transport to an EPA-licensed disposal facility the same day. We can also coordinate replacement with new Colorbond, timber paling or modern fibre cement boundary fencing at the same time, so your property is never left without a boundary.
