Best asbestos removal in Rockingham & Mandurah (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-reviewed asbestos removal operators working the coastal strip from Rockingham down to Mandurah and Dawesville: Rockingham itself with Safety Bay, Warnbro, Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour and Golden Bay, the Kwinana and Baldivis side, then Singleton and Madora Bay into Mandurah, Halls Head, Falcon and Greenfields, and inland to Pinjarra. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Asbestos is the one trade on this site where the paperwork matters as much as the reviews: in WA, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos sheeting requires a WorkSafe-licensed removalist, and any amount of friable asbestos requires a Class A licence. All three operators below are verified to this corridor, which is more than we can say for most of what a Google search here returns: we cut one-review listings, an unclaimed operator with an empty website, a facility that disposes of asbestos rather than removing it, a roofing contractor, and a strong southern specialist that actually belongs to the Bunbury side of the map. Below the list you’ll find what removal actually costs in 2026, the 10 square metre rule explained, the red flags that should end a conversation, and a checklist to run before anyone touches a fibro sheet on your property.

- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every operator’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps across Rockingham, Baldivis, Mandurah and Pinjarra.
- Volume matters as much as the score. We weight each rating by its review count, so three perfect 5.0 scores don’t tie: the depth of the record behind each one decides the order, and the second and third spots here finished within a few thousandths of a point of each other. Read the entries as well as the order, because the three offer genuinely different services.
- Licence first, then reviews. Asbestos removal is a licensed trade in WA, so unlike our other rankings the first filter is the paperwork: a WorkSafe WA asbestos removal licence (Class A for friable material, Class B for bonded sheets), or published licensing credentials backed by a review record of real asbestos jobs. Where an operator publishes their licence classes we say so, and where they don’t, we tell you to ask for the number.
- Verified locally, or cut. Search results here get padded with Perth-metro businesses and lead-generation listings, so we checked map coordinates, street addresses and websites rather than trusting names. The strongest-reviewed “Mandurah” result in the raw search is actually based near Harvey, an hour south, and belongs on our Bunbury page, not this one.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.
Town and Country Asbestos Removal
A perfect 5.0 across 15 reviews, every one of them for asbestos work, from the only dedicated asbestos removal business with a verified base in this corridor: a unit on Beale Way in Rockingham’s industrial precinct. The reviews read like a services list: a full asbestos garage removal, a 50-square-metre strip where the crew took away extra broken pieces they found along the way, and a family who discovered broken sheeting in their bathroom and had Brayden on site within a couple of hours giving clear, calm advice. Darren handles the quoting and reviewers call the prices competitive; the responses to reviews are days old at the time of writing, which tells you the business is switched on. One honest note: we couldn’t verify a WorkSafe licence number on their website, so do what our checklist says and ask for the number and class with the quote. On review evidence, nobody else in the corridor is close.
View listing & contact ▸Jim’s Hazardous Materials Removal (Mandurah)
A perfect 5.0 across 7 reviews for the Mandurah territory of Jim’s Hazardous Materials Removal, the hazmat arm of the Jim’s Group. The brand promise is that its operators are trained, certified and licensed asbestos removalists, and the local reviews back the process: Nick visits the site first, explains exactly how the job will be tackled before anyone signs anything, and reviewers describe careful sheeting removal, a bathroom strip-out and a full water-damage remediation involving asbestos-era materials, all handled safely and communicated clearly. This is a service-area business rather than a shopfront, which is normal for the franchise model, so the practical advice is the same as anywhere on this page: ask for the licence number and class on the written quote, and expect the national-brand paperwork standards to show up in the answer. For jobs that mix asbestos with mould or water damage, this is the obvious first call in Mandurah.
View listing & contact ▸LADS WA
A perfect 5.0 across 6 reviews, and the best published paperwork on the page: the site at ladswa.com lists both a Class A unrestricted asbestos removal licence, the one that covers friable material, and a Class B licence for bonded sheets under its licences and certifications, which is exactly what this page keeps asking operators to do. LADS is a women-owned demolition and industrial services outfit working Mandurah, Pinjarra and the wider Peel region, led by Nathaniel McKenzie, and it’s conspicuously active: at the time of writing the newest five-star review is a week old and the owner’s latest safety post is three days old. Reviews cover asbestos removal, a tricky elevated water-tank removal done safely, and quick, reasonably priced responses. The smallest review base of the three, which the weighting accounts for, but if your job involves friable material, the licence class you need is the one this crew publishes.
View listing & contact ▸Only three made this page, and that’s deliberate. Everything else we found either fell short of our minimum of a 4.3 rating with at least two or three reviews, wasn’t actually a removalist, or wasn’t verifiably here. A Mandurah demolition contractor with seven good asbestos reviews sits on an unclaimed listing with a near-empty website and no licensing information anywhere we could find, and a Halls Head demolition outfit with four reviews published no asbestos credentials we could verify. A Wattleup contractor belongs to the industrial strip north of the corridor. Several one-review and no-review listings gave us nothing public to rank. The Millar Road landfill shows up in every search but it’s where the asbestos goes, not who removes it. And the best-reviewed “Mandurah” asbestos result of all, a 42-review specialist, is actually based near Harvey on the road to Bunbury, so it’s reserved for the page where it belongs. Three verified locals beats fourteen padded ones.
What asbestos removal actually costs around Rockingham and Mandurah (2026)
Asbestos pricing is quoted after a look at the job, because the two numbers that swing it hardest are how much material there is and what condition it’s in (bonded sheets in good nick are routine; broken, weathered or friable material changes the licence class and the controls) and access and disposal (double-wrapping, safe loading and tipping at a licensed facility are a real share of the bill). These are honest indicative ranges for common jobs based on what Perth removalists publish in 2026. They’re a guide, not a quote, and GST treatment varies, so confirm it on the written quote.
| Job | Typical range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Bonded sheet removal (walls, ceilings, eaves) | from ~$50/m² | Height, tight access, broken sheets, interior strip-outs |
| Minimum job charge | $950-$2,000 | Most licensed crews carry a minimum; small jobs cost proportionally more |
| Asbestos fence removal | $25-$90/m | Concrete footings, overgrown vegetation, hard access, long runs |
| Asbestos roof, single-storey house | $3,500-$5,500 | Pitch, height, brittle sheets; replacement roofing is extra |
| Testing a suspect material | priced per sample | Number of samples, lab turnaround; cheap insurance before any reno |
| Air monitoring & clearance certificate | priced per job | Required controls scale with the job; independent hygienist for friable work |
| House demolition including asbestos | quoted per job | Asbestos quantity, house size, access, what’s salvageable |
Two local notes. First, this corridor splits sharply by era: the older cores, Rockingham’s original streets, Safety Bay, the State Housing-era suburbs of Kwinana like Medina, Calista and Orelia, and old Mandurah around the town centre and Halls Head, were built when asbestos cement was standard, so a pre-1990 home there should be assumed to have fibro in the eaves, wet-area walls, fences or shed until a test says otherwise. The big newer estates, Baldivis, Secret Harbour, Golden Bay, Lakelands, Meadow Springs and the Dawesville canals, mostly post-date the 2003 national ban. Second, disposal from this corridor usually means the Millar Road Landfill Facility in Baldivis, and the City of Rockingham’s rules are specific: asbestos disposal must be booked at least 24 hours ahead, double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic, sealed and labelled “CAUTION ASBESTOS” in big letters, hand-unloaded in packages no heavier than a two-person lift, with residential tip passes covering up to 1.5 cubic metres. A licensed removalist’s quote should name where the waste is going and include the tip receipt in the paperwork.
Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- No licence number on the quote. Removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos is licensed work in WA, and any friable asbestos needs a Class A licence. A legitimate removalist puts their WorkSafe licence number in writing and doesn’t get offended when you check it. “We’re demolition guys, we do it all the time” is not a licence.
- Cash price, no disposal paperwork. Asbestos dumped in bushland or a rented skip is a crime, and it’s your name on the job. A real quote names the licensed disposal facility and the paperwork includes disposal records or tip receipts. If the price only works because the waste vanishes, walk away.
- No clearance at the end. Licensed removal work should finish with a clearance inspection before the area is reoccupied, by an independent licensed asbestos assessor for friable work. Anyone who packs up and calls it done with no clearance step is leaving you to guess what’s left behind.
- A firm price over the phone, sight unseen. Quantity, condition, height and access drive asbestos pricing, and none of them are visible over the phone. Sight-unseen certainty means the surprises get invented on site, in their favour.
- Anyone suggesting water blasting or grinding. High-pressure cleaning an asbestos roof or fence, or taking power tools to fibro, releases fibres and is banned. It shows up on quotes as “roof cleaning and recoating”. The only safe treatments are sealed-and-left, or removed wet, whole and wrapped.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- Licence checked. Ask for the WorkSafe WA licence number and class (A for friable, B for bonded) and verify it before signing anything. For demolition jobs, ask for the demolition licence class too.
- Written, itemised quote. Removal, disposal fees, air monitoring and clearance each on their own line, with the disposal facility named.
- Notification handled. Licensed removal work must be notified to WorkSafe at least five days before it starts. Ask who’s lodging it, because it’s a sign the job is being run properly.
- Insurance. A current public liability certificate of currency that covers asbestos work specifically, not just general trades cover.
- Clearance and paperwork at the end. Confirm up front that you’ll receive the clearance documentation and disposal records when the job is done. You’ll want both if you ever sell or renovate.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these asbestos removalists?
By their live Google star rating weighted by the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps across Rockingham, Baldivis, Mandurah and Pinjarra, with one extra filter the other rankings on this site don’t need: asbestos licensing credentials came first. Every listing is verified to this corridor by coordinates, street address and its own website where one exists. Testing-only services, one-review listings, unclaimed operators with no published credentials and businesses based outside the corridor were cut regardless of rating. All three that passed hold perfect 5.0 scores, so the depth of each review record decides the order; read the write-ups, not just the badges.
Can I remove asbestos myself in WA?
Legally, a householder can remove up to 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos, which is roughly a few fence panels or a small patch of eaves. Anything more, and any friable material at all, requires a licensed removalist. If you do a small job yourself: keep the sheets wet and whole, never cut, drill, break or pressure-clean them, double-wrap in heavy-duty plastic, and take it to a facility that accepts asbestos. Around here that’s Millar Road in Baldivis, and the rules are strict: book at least 24 hours ahead, seal and label the wrap, and be ready to hand-unload it yourself. Honestly, once you’ve priced the plastic, the PPE and the tip run, a licensed crew’s minimum charge often isn’t far away, and they carry the risk.
How do I know if my house has asbestos?
By age, then by testing. Australia didn’t fully ban asbestos until the end of 2003, and homes built or renovated before 1990 are very likely to contain asbestos cement somewhere: eaves, bathroom and laundry walls, fences, sheds, sometimes the roof. That describes Rockingham’s older streets, Safety Bay, the original Kwinana suburbs and much of old Mandurah and Halls Head, while the newer estates from Baldivis to Dawesville are too new to be affected. You cannot identify asbestos by looking at it; a lab test on a sample is the only way to know, and it’s cheap insurance before any renovation.
Why are there only three on this list?
Because that’s how many we could verify as licensed removal operators genuinely based between Rockingham and Mandurah with a live review record. This trade’s Google results are cluttered with testing services, lead-generation listings, one-review operators and businesses from other parts of the state. Rather than pad the page, we listed the three that pass every check. As more local operators build a review history and publish their licensing, the list grows.
Is an asbestos fence or roof dangerous if I just leave it?
Bonded asbestos in good condition, painted or sealed and left undisturbed, is generally low risk, and leaving it alone is a legitimate option. The risk comes when it’s damaged, badly weathered to the point of showing raised fibres, or disturbed by drilling, sanding, pressure-cleaning or demolition. A grey, mossy super-six fence that’s crumbling at the base, common in the older Kwinana and Rockingham suburbs, or a roof shedding fragments into the gutters is past the leave-it stage: get it assessed, and get the removal quoted by someone licensed.
