  1. ASBESTOS REMOVAL IN WOLLONGONG

  2. When was your property built? Is it built before the 1980s? Does it have asbestos? You better find out. Especially, when you have any renovation plan there. A building with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) needs special care when it comes to renovating. Fibrous materials are dangerous and have many health risks. http://asbestoswatchwollongong.com.au/asbestos-removal/

  3. What is asbestos? Asbestos is a term for a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibres belonging to two groups: Serpentine Group – comprised of only chrysotile (white asbestos) Amphibole Group – comprised of anthophyllite, amosite (brown asbestos or grey asbestos), crocidolite (blue asbestos), tremolite, and actinolite.
