No matter if you are a residential developer or renovating your own home, it is always a concern when you find a product on the property that resembles asbestos, whether you are demolishing, renovating or just want to hang a picture on the wall.
Here at AHI Asbestos Consultants, we are well aware of the stress that can accompany asbestos products being uncovered, as well as the pressure of financial loss that is associated.
Asbestos is hard to identify by sight and texture alone. With so many building products made with similar compositions, the only way to positively identify asbestos is through laboratory testing.
Our team of expert asbestos professionals offer comprehensive asbestos inspection services for all private and professional residential renovation and development sites. We offer NATA accredited asbestos testing at affordable prices with fast turnarounds.
Although we do not recommend it, it is currently legal for home renovators to perform DIY removal of non-friable asbestos materials under 10m2 without a removal license. Head to www.asbestossafety.gov.au for information, or to speak to one of our helpful staff.
We specialise in every aspect of asbestos control for residential properties; offering affordable solutions and expert advice for homeowners and professional developers alike.
Examples of bonded asbestos products may include
All Australian residential construction products containing asbestos were phased out from around 1986 after being linked to multiple significant and potentially fatal health concerns including:
Mesothelioma and Asbestosis are so far exclusively linked to asbestos inhalation. There is no known cure for either. Because of these directly linked health risks, asbestos was completely phased out and as of the 31st of December 2003 completely banned from import, sale, use or storage Australia wide.
The asbestos experts here at AHI Asbestos Consultants share decades of experience in the asbestos industry; this gives us the scope to provide a comprehensive range of asbestos solutions for all commercial enterprises.

We recently purchased a unit to do up and wanted to get the ceiling replaced. Because of the age of the unit there was a possibility of the ceiling having asbestos in it. I was put onto AHI and from the minute I called up, the service was second to none. I was informed over the phone with what to do and was sent an email within 5 minutes. I sent off my sample and within 24 hours had my results back. I was phoned first with the outcome and 5 minutes later was emailed the certificate.
Anthony and Suellen were a pleasure to deal with during the course of our pre-purchase residential inspection. Anthony was generous with his time and advice, providing great insight to building practices relating to older QLD homes containing asbestos. The lab report detailing samples taken from the property was easy to follow and turned around within 24 hours. Would highly recommend for your residential asbestos inspection needs!
Anthony has been extremely accurate and professional in his job, is always nice getting to know passionate young people and I can only recommend this company as the best in terms of asbestos reports. The reports are very detailed and the survey covered even areas which I didn’t knew could hide asbestos. It feels really like they make my money wort it! And the prices are more reasonable than other similar companies. Thanks to Anthony and all the team.
Absolutely Brilliant Service — Again! We first used this company in 2016 and were impressed by the incredibly thorough report they provided. When we reached out again in 2025, they offered exceptional advice at no cost, potentially saving us thousands of dollars and guiding us in the right direction. It’s rare to find a company that is consistently kind, professional, thorough, and genuinely ethical over so many years. Truly outstanding and highly recommended.
