Asbestos Clearance Certificates Sydney & NSW
A clearance certificate confirms that licensed asbestos removal work has been completed safely and the area is clear of asbestos waste. We coordinate the full process, from removal through to independent clearance inspection.
What is a clearance certificate?
A clearance certificate is a document issued by an independent licensed asbestos assessor after asbestos removal work is complete.
- Required by law for all licensed asbestos removal work in NSW
- Issued by an independent licensed asbestos assessor, not the removalist
- Confirms the work area is free of visible asbestos waste
- May include air monitoring results where required
- Essential documentation for property sales, insurance, and council compliance
When is a clearance certificate required?
A clearance certificate is legally required after any licensed asbestos removal work in NSW.
The work area cannot be re-occupied or handed back to other trades until a clearance certificate has been issued.
Clearance certificates are often requested during property transactions to confirm that previous asbestos removal work was completed to the required standard.
Insurers and local councils may require clearance documentation as part of building approvals or insurance claims involving asbestos.
