Who you are dealing with

Somah Thong started Total Asbestos Removal Brisbane in 2010

Total Asbestos Removal Brisbane is an asbestos removal and demolition company working across South East Queensland. Somah Thong still quotes jobs himself, often the same day you call, and returns to check the work once it's finished.

The crew behind him carries more than forty years of combined experience across residential, commercial and industrial removal. No job is treated as too small — a single shed gets the same containment and the same clearance certificate as a warehouse roof.

How we work

The same method on every job, regardless of size

1 Somah quotes it The person who prices the job is the person responsible for it, and he comes back to check the work once it's done.

2 Test before assuming Where the material isn't obvious, it gets sampled rather than guessed at. A test costs little; a wrong assumption costs a remediation.

3 Contain, don't rush Sealed work areas, wetted material, hand removal instead of breaking sheets up. Speed comes from planning, not from cutting corners.

4 Document everything Disposal records, air monitoring and a clearance certificate on every job — the paperwork is what proves the site is safe to hand back.

Licensing and credentials

Stated plainly, not shown as badges

Asbestos removal is licensed work in Queensland, and the licence class determines what a contractor is allowed to touch. Total Asbestos Removal Brisbane holds both classes, which means bonded and friable material on the same site can be handled under one scope.
