Asbestos Clearance Certificate
​
Legislation requires that, for all asbestos removal, your property is inspected by an independent licensed authority who will issue a clearance certificate confirming that the asbestos has been safely removed from the site.
​
Macarthur Demolition complies with that requirement and you will receive an independent clearance certificate at the end of the demolition project.
​
Demolition services companies cannot issue a certificate for their own work.
