Ceiling removal cost
Asbestos Ceiling Removal Cost in Canberra
We quote asbestos ceiling removal on site because there is no supplied guide price for ceilings on their own. Our bathroom and wet-area guide price is $1,500 to $4,500 per room, including GST, but that is not a separate ceiling-only rate. Room size, height and fittings are the main things that change the price.
Prices are a guide only and depend on size, access and condition. You'll get a fixed price before any work starts.
- Licensed removal and testing
- Independent clearance included
- Fixed price before we start

Ways to keep the cost down
Bundle jobs: doing the fence, eaves and laundry on one visit means one setup, one notice and one disposal run. Clear the area before we arrive. And deal with damaged material sooner rather than later, because whole sheets are quicker to remove than broken ones.
Be wary of anyone promising to start straight away. WorkSafe ACT warns people to be wary of removalists offering to start less than 5 days after a quote is accepted (WorkSafe ACT safety alert).
