Emergency? Call us now: [Phone Number — to be confirmed] Available for urgent asbestos disturbance, storm damage and hazardous-material incidents.

Why Property Owners and Builders Choose Innovare Demolitions
Older Queensland housing stock — fibro cottages in Wynnum, post-war homes in Annerley, 1970s commercial buildings in Southport — presents hazards that demand licensed expertise. Cutting corners on asbestos, lead paint or demolition safety is not a viable option under Queensland law, and we wouldn’t allow it regardless.
Our core commitments:
A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed] — covering all friable and non-friable asbestos
Licensed Demolition [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed] — residential, commercial and industrial
QBCC Registered [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed] — Queensland’s building industry regulator
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) compliant on every site
Independent air monitoring and clearance certificates issued on all A-Class asbestos jobs
Fully insured — public liability and professional indemnity

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you need council approval to demolish a house in Queensland?
Yes. A demolition permit is typically required from your local council before any structure is demolished. Innovare Demolitions manages the entire permit process on your behalf, including notifying WHSQ at least five business days before demolition commences.
Q: Is all asbestos removal in Queensland regulated?
Yes. Any asbestos removal over 10 square metres, or involving friable (loose/crumbled) asbestos in any quantity, must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removalist. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class licence, the highest tier, covering both friable and non-friable work.
Q: How long does asbestos removal take?
Small residential jobs (e.g. a single roof or outbuilding) typically take one to two days. Larger commercial projects may require several weeks depending on the extent of asbestos-containing materials identified. We provide a detailed timeline in every quote.
Q: Do you service the Gold Coast as well as Brisbane?
Yes. We operate across both Brisbane and Gold Coast as primary service areas, with crews available throughout South East Queensland.

About Innovare Demolitions — Licences, Experience and a Safety-First Culture
Innovare Demolitions is a specialist demolition and hazardous-materials contractor based in Brisbane, Queensland. We are part of the Innovare Group — a family of licensed construction, building and property services businesses operating across Brisbane, Gold Coast and greater SEQ. Every business in the group shares a single owner-operator, meaning the same hands-on accountability and quality culture runs through every project we take on.
We hold the credentials required under Queensland and national law to carry out the most complex and hazardous demolition and remediation work: an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed], a Queensland Demolition Licence [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed], and registration with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC Licence No. [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed]).

Our Licences and Compliance Framework
Licensing in the demolition and asbestos sector is not optional — it is the law, and it exists for very good reasons. Asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, kill more Australians each year than any other single occupational disease. Lead exposure causes lasting neurological harm. Demolition without proper engineering assessments can endanger workers and neighbours.
Key credentials held by Innovare Demolitions:
A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence — issued by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ). This is the highest-tier licence available, permitting the removal of all classes of asbestos including friable (crumbled, dust-producing) asbestos. Licence No.: [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed]
Demolition Licence — permitting residential, commercial and industrial demolition across Queensland. Licence No.: [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed]
QBCC Contractor Licence — Queensland’s principal building industry licence, issued by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. Licence No.: [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed]
NSW Builder Licence — for projects in New South Wales. Licence No.: [NSW Builder Licence No. — to be confirmed]
All work is conducted in accordance with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice: How to Safely Remove Asbestos, the How to Manage and Control Asbestos in the Workplace code, and the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld).

Our Team
Our crew members are experienced tradespeople who have worked across Brisbane’s older housing precincts — where fibro cladding, asbestos cement roofing, asbestos lagging and lead paint are a daily reality — and on Gold Coast commercial and industrial sites. Every team member holds a current asbestos awareness certification, and our licensed removalists hold the formal units of competency required by law.
We invest in proper personal protective equipment (PPE), decontamination facilities, negative-air pressure enclosures where needed, and independent air monitoring by a third-party hygienist on all A-Class jobs. Our approach is methodical and never hurried: rushing asbestos removal or demolition creates risk for workers, neighbours and future occupants.

Safety Record and Our Approach to Risk
We have maintained an exemplary WHS record across our years of operation. Our safety processes are not a checkbox exercise — they are built into how we price, schedule and execute every job. Before any crew member sets foot on site, a site-specific Safety Management Plan and SWMS is completed and reviewed. Tool-box talks happen at the start of every shift.
We notify WHSQ at least five business days prior to any licensed asbestos removal work (as required by law) and prior to demolition where required. We hold comprehensive public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and we carry licensed waste-transport documents for every load of hazardous material that leaves your site.

Our Connection to the Innovare Group
Innovare Demolitions operates alongside other Innovare Group brands delivering residential and commercial construction, landscaping and property development services across Brisbane and Gold Coast. This means we frequently work in close coordination with builders and project managers, providing demolition and site clearing as the first step in a broader development or renovation project. (See also: Innovare Builders, Innovare Landscapes)

3. Asbestos Removal and Disposal
Meta Title: Asbestos Removal Brisbane &amp; Gold Coast | A-Class Licensed Meta Description: A-Class licensed asbestos removal across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Safe removal, air monitoring, clearance certificates, and licensed waste disposal. Call for a free quote. URL Slug: /asbestos-removal Primary Keyword: asbestos removal Brisbane Secondary Keywords: asbestos removal Gold Coast, licensed asbestos removal Queensland, A-Class asbestos removalist Brisbane, asbestos disposal QLD

Asbestos Removal Brisbane and Gold Coast — Safe, Licensed, Fully Compliant
Innovare Demolitions provides A-Class licensed asbestos removal for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. We handle all categories of asbestos-containing material (ACM) — from asbestos cement sheeting and corrugated roofing to friable pipe lagging and textured ceiling coatings — and issue independent air-monitoring clearance certificates on completion.
Asbestos is the single greatest cause of occupational disease deaths in Australia. If your property was built before 1990, there is a realistic possibility it contains asbestos-containing materials. If it was built before 1980, that possibility becomes a high probability. Older Brisbane suburbs such as Annerley, Wynnum, Coorparoo, Zillmere and Holland Park, and older Gold Coast communities including Southport, Labrador and Nerang, have significant concentrations of pre-1990 housing and commercial stock.

Types of Asbestos We Remove
Non-Friable (Bonded) Asbestos The most common type found in Queensland homes. Includes: - Asbestos cement (fibro) wall and eave cladding - Corrugated asbestos cement roofing (super-six sheeting) - Flat asbestos cement roofing - Asbestos cement floor tiles and backing - Asbestos-containing fencing
Non-friable ACM is relatively stable when undisturbed, but becomes hazardous if broken, cut, drilled or weathered. A licence is required for removal of more than 10 square metres.
Friable Asbestos Friable asbestos can be crumbled to a powder by hand pressure. It is the most hazardous form because fibres are easily airborne. Examples include: - Pipe and boiler lagging - Sprayed-on fire retardant - Loose fill insulation (particularly in ceiling cavities) - Deteriorated vinyl floor tile backing - Certain textured paints and ceiling coatings
All friable asbestos removal must be carried out by an A-Class licensed removalist. Innovare Demolitions holds this licence.

Our Asbestos Removal Process
Inspection and Sampling — we inspect the property and collect samples where ACM is suspected. Samples are analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory.
Risk Assessment and Quote — we provide a detailed scope of works and fixed-price quote, identifying all ACM, removal methods, and expected timeframes.
WHSQ Notification — at least five business days before commencing, we notify Workplace Health and Safety Queensland as required under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld).
Site Preparation — the work area is isolated and signed. For friable work, a negative-air pressure enclosure is erected and decontamination facilities established.
Safe Removal — ACM is carefully removed using wet methods to suppress fibres, double-bagged or sheeted, labelled and sealed in accordance with the Safe Work Australia code.
Air Monitoring — during A-Class removal, an independent occupational hygienist conducts air monitoring to verify fibre levels remain within safe limits.
Clearance Inspection — on completion, the hygienist conducts a visual clearance inspection and final air monitoring. A clearance certificate is issued once the area passes.
Licensed Disposal — all ACM waste is transported under a hazardous-waste manifest to a Queensland EPA-approved disposal facility. You receive disposal documentation.

Compliance and Documentation
You receive a complete compliance file including: - WHSQ notification confirmation - Air monitoring results and clearance certificate - Waste disposal receipts and manifests - Site-specific SWMS and Safety Management Plan
This documentation is critical if you are selling, renovating or redeveloping the property.

Cost Factors for Asbestos Removal in Queensland
The cost of asbestos removal depends on: - The quantity and type of ACM (non-friable vs friable) - Accessibility (roof vs floor vs wall; single vs double storey) - Location (remote sites may incur travel costs) - Disposal fees (priced by weight at licensed facilities) - Whether air monitoring and clearance certification is required (mandatory for friable/A-Class jobs)
Small residential removals (e.g. a single outbuilding with fibro cladding) typically start from a few hundred dollars. Whole-house or commercial projects can run into several thousand. We provide itemised, fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I remove asbestos from my own home?
In Queensland, a homeowner may remove up to 10 square metres of non-friable ACM from their own residence without a licence, provided the property is not a rental. However, safe disposal is still required. We strongly recommend using a licensed removalist regardless of quantity — the health risks from disturbing ACM improperly are severe and long-term.
Q: How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Visual identification is unreliable. The only definitive method is laboratory analysis of a collected sample by a NATA-accredited laboratory. Innovare Demolitions provides asbestos inspections and sampling across Brisbane and Gold Coast. (See: Asbestos Testing and Inspections)
Q: What happens if asbestos is damaged during renovation?
If you suspect asbestos has been disturbed or damaged, stop work immediately, vacate the area, and call a licensed asbestos removalist. Do not attempt to clean up debris yourself. Innovare Demolitions offers emergency asbestos clean-up services. (See: Emergency Asbestos Clean Up)
Q: Is a clearance certificate mandatory?
For all A-Class (friable) asbestos removal, a clearance certificate issued by a licensed assessor is required by law before the area can be reoccupied. For non-friable work, we still provide documented clearance as best practice.

URL Slug: /residential-demolition Primary Keyword: residential demolition Brisbane Secondary Keywords: house demolition Brisbane, demolition company Gold Coast, partial demolition Brisbane, site clearing SEQ, knock down Brisbane

Residential Demolition Brisbane and Gold Coast — Licensed, Insured, Ready to Build
Innovare Demolitions carries out full house demolitions, partial demolitions and site clearing for homeowners, developers and builders across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. We hold a Queensland Demolition Licence [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed] and QBCC registration [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed], and we manage every permit, notification and compliance obligation so you can focus on what comes next.
Whether you are knocking down a post-war fibro cottage in Zillmere to make way for a new build, removing a fire-damaged home in Coorparoo, or undertaking a partial demolition to enable a rear extension in Holland Park, our team delivers a clean, safe, documented outcome.

Types of Residential Demolition We Undertake
Full House Demolition Complete demolition of the structure from foundations up, including all internal fitout, roofing, walls and sub-floor framing. We manage: - Pre-demolition hazardous materials survey (asbestos, lead paint) - All asbestos and lead paint removal prior to demolition - Council demolition permit application - WHSQ notification (five business days prior) - Structural demolition by experienced crews - Waste sorting, recycling where possible, and licensed disposal - Site levelling ready for new build
Partial and Selective Demolition Removal of specific parts of a building while retaining the rest — e.g. removing a non-compliant carport, a rear addition, or a fire-damaged section. Requires careful engineering assessment to ensure structural integrity is maintained throughout.
Removal of Relocatable Homes We manage the safe disconnection, preparation and removal of Queenslander and other timber homes for relocation, working in coordination with house removal specialists.
Site Clearing Demolition of garages, sheds, outbuildings, fencing and hard landscaping in preparation for new construction. (See also: Yard Clean Ups)

Permits, Notifications and Compliance
Residential demolition in Queensland is regulated. Key requirements include:
Council Demolition Permit — most local councils require a permit before demolition. We manage the application on your behalf.
WHSQ Notification — at least five business days before commencing demolition (required under WHS Regulation 2011).
Pre-Demolition Hazardous Materials Survey — all buildings constructed before 2003 must be assessed for asbestos before demolition. We carry out this survey in-house.
Asbestos Removal — if ACM is present, it must be removed by a licensed removalist before demolition proceeds. We hold our own A-Class licence.
Utility Disconnections — all services (electricity, gas, water, sewerage, telecommunications) must be safely disconnected prior to demolition. We coordinate with service providers.

Older Brisbane and Gold Coast Housing Stock
Many of Brisbane’s inner and middle-ring suburbs — Wynnum, Annerley, Moorooka, Nundah, Lutwyche, Stafford — have large numbers of pre-1980 homes containing asbestos cement sheeting and lead-based paint. The Gold Coast’s older bayside and hinterland suburbs face similar challenges. Our team is experienced working in these environments and knows how to handle the discoveries — and there are nearly always discoveries on pre-1980 homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it take to demolish a house in Brisbane?
A typical residential demolition (pre-demolition survey, asbestos removal if required, demolition and clean-up) takes one to two weeks from mobilisation. Permit and notification lead times add a further two to four weeks to the overall project timeline. We provide a detailed schedule with every quote.
Q: Who is responsible for the demolition permit?
In Queensland, the property owner is responsible for obtaining the demolition permit, but in practice Innovare Demolitions manages this process on behalf of our clients as part of our standard service.
Q: Can demolition waste be recycled?
Yes. We separate and recycle concrete, metal, timber and bricks where viable, diverting material from landfill. Hazardous materials — asbestos, lead paint — are disposed of at licensed facilities only.
Q: Do you handle the asbestos removal as well as the demolition?
Yes. Because we hold both a Demolition Licence and an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence, we manage the entire project — survey, asbestos removal, clearance certification and demolition — under one contract. This is more efficient and reduces your coordination burden significantly.

Offices, retail centres and mixed-use buildings safely demolished with full compliance documentation. Free quotes. URL Slug: /commercial-demolition Primary Keyword: commercial demolition QLD Secondary Keywords: commercial demolition Brisbane, office demolition Gold Coast, retail demolition QLD, demolition contractor Brisbane, QBCC demolition licence

Commercial Demolition Across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland
Innovare Demolitions provides licensed commercial demolition services for offices, retail buildings, mixed-use developments, hotels, schools, aged-care facilities and other commercial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland. Commercial demolition demands a higher level of coordination than residential work — neighbouring tenancies, public safety, traffic management, heritage considerations, complex utility infrastructure and multi-stakeholder approval processes all require experienced management.
We hold a Queensland Demolition Licence [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed] and QBCC registration [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed], carry comprehensive public liability insurance, and have the experience to manage projects with structural complexity, hazardous materials and live-site environments.

Commercial Demolition Services
Full Building Demolition Complete demolition of commercial structures including offices, retail, hospitality and community buildings. We manage pre-demolition surveys, utility disconnections, council and WHSQ approvals, controlled demolition, waste management and site clearing.
Partial and Selective Demolition (Strip-Out) Interior strip-outs, removal of non-structural walls and partitions, removal of specific floors or sections of a building to facilitate refurbishment or change of use. We work to detailed engineering drawings and communicate closely with the principal contractor to protect structural integrity.
Façade Retention Demolition Where heritage or planning requirements mandate retention of a building’s façade, we demolish the interior and structure behind the façade while ensuring the facade remains stable throughout. This requires careful propping design and staged execution.
Concurrent Demolition (Live-Site) Demolition works carried out adjacent to or within occupied buildings. We develop site-specific traffic management plans, hoarding designs, dust and noise management plans, and communicate proactively with neighbouring businesses and residents.

Compliance in Commercial Demolition
Commercial demolition in Queensland involves:
Development Approval / Demolition Permit — required from the relevant local government authority
WHSQ Notification — formal notification at least five business days prior to commencement
Pre-Demolition Hazardous Materials Audit — mandatory for all pre-2003 buildings; must be conducted by a competent person
Asbestos Removal Plan — if ACM is identified, a licensed removalist must remove it before structural demolition
Traffic Management Plan — required where demolition affects public roads or footpaths
Dust and Noise Management — compliance with local council environmental guidelines
Waste Management Plan — documentation of all waste streams including hazardous materials
We prepare or coordinate all of these as part of our standard commercial demolition service.

Cost Factors for Commercial Demolition
Commercial demolition costs vary significantly based on: - Building size, height and structural type (steel frame, reinforced concrete, masonry, timber) - Presence and extent of hazardous materials - Access constraints and traffic management requirements - Proximity to neighbouring buildings - Site preparation requirements post-demolition
We provide detailed fixed-price quotes for all commercial demolition projects following a site inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the typical timeline for commercial demolition?
Small commercial buildings can be demolished in a few days. Larger buildings may require weeks to months. The overall project timeline — including survey, approvals, hazmat removal, demolition and clean-up — should be budgeted at six to twelve weeks minimum for most commercial projects.
Q: Do you manage asbestos removal in commercial buildings?
Yes. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence, meaning we manage all asbestos removal in-house as part of the commercial demolition contract. This is a significant advantage for program management.
Q: Can you work around operating businesses?
Yes. We have extensive experience with partial and live-site demolition in occupied commercial environments. Site safety planning, hoarding, dust management and noise scheduling are central to this work.
Q: Are you insured for commercial demolition?
Yes. We hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance appropriate for commercial demolition projects. Certificates of currency are provided with every contract.

6. Industrial Demolition
Meta Title: Industrial Demolition Brisbane &amp; QLD | Factory &amp; Warehouse Demolition Meta Description: Licensed industrial demolition for factories, warehouses and industrial facilities across Brisbane and QLD. Full hazmat management, structural demolition and site clearing. Call today. URL Slug: /industrial-demolition Primary Keyword: industrial demolition QLD Secondary Keywords: factory demolition Brisbane, warehouse demolition QLD, industrial demolition Gold Coast, plant decommissioning Brisbane, hazardous industrial site demolition

Industrial Demolition Services Across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland
Innovare Demolitions undertakes licensed industrial demolition for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, factories, chemical plants, food processing facilities, metal fabrication workshops and other industrial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland. Industrial sites introduce hazards beyond asbestos and lead — including chemical contamination, pressurised plant and equipment, heavy structural elements and complex utility infrastructure — all of which require disciplined, experienced management.
Our licensed team holds a Queensland Demolition Licence [Demolition Licence No. — to be confirmed], an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed], and QBCC registration [QBCC Licence No. — to be confirmed]. We work alongside structural engineers, environmental consultants and safety specialists to deliver compliant, efficient outcomes.

Industrial Demolition Services
Full Facility Demolition Complete demolition of industrial buildings and associated infrastructure — structures, concrete slabs, machinery bases, below-ground services, tanks and silos. We manage the complete project from pre-demolition audit to cleared and levelled site.
Plant and Equipment Decommissioning Before structural demolition, industrial plant and equipment must be safely decommissioned — electrical isolation, gas purging, chemical decontamination, and mechanical disconnection. We coordinate this process in consultation with your maintenance and engineering teams.
Contaminated Site Demolition Industrial sites with soil or groundwater contamination require additional environmental management. We work alongside EPA-accredited environmental consultants to develop a contaminated land management plan prior to demolition.
Structural Demolition — Concrete, Steel and Masonry Large-span industrial structures in concrete tilt-panel, structural steel and masonry require engineered demolition sequences. We work to structural engineering drawings and use appropriate plant — excavators, high-reach demolition equipment, concrete processors.
Partial Demolition and Refurbishment Preparation Where an industrial facility is being partially retained or repurposed, we carry out selective demolition with careful attention to structural interfaces and building envelope integrity.

Hazardous Materials in Industrial Settings
Industrial buildings often contain a broader range of hazardous materials than residential or commercial properties:
Asbestos — pipe lagging, insulation boards, roof sheeting, flashings
Lead paint — structural steel, tanks, equipment
Hydraulic fluids, lubricants and chemical residues
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in transformers and capacitors
Mercury in gauges and lighting
Fuel and oil storage (underground and above-ground tanks)
Our pre-demolition hazardous materials audit identifies all relevant materials, and we engage licensed specialists for any streams beyond our direct scope (e.g. PCB transformers, underground storage tank removal).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do industrial demolitions require environmental approvals?
Often yes. Depending on the historical use of the site and the presence of contamination, EPA notifications or approvals may be required under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld). We advise on this during the project planning phase.
Q: Can you work on live industrial precincts?
Yes. We have experience demolishing buildings within active industrial estates and work closely with precinct managers on traffic, access, noise and vibration management.
Q: How do you handle hazardous waste from industrial sites?
All hazardous materials are managed by licensed handlers under waste tracking manifests, and disposed of at EPA-approved facilities. We provide full disposal documentation.
Q: Do you have experience with asbestos in industrial settings?
Yes. Industrial asbestos — particularly pipe lagging (friable) and roof sheeting — is a core part of our work. Our A-Class licence covers all categories, and we conduct air monitoring throughout all friable removal operations.

7. Mould Removal
Meta Title: Mould Removal Brisbane &amp; Gold Coast | Testing &amp; Remediation Meta Description: Professional mould testing, containment and removal across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Licensed mould remediation with prevention advice for homes and businesses. Call for a quote. URL Slug: /mould-removal Primary Keyword: mould removal Brisbane Secondary Keywords: mould remediation Brisbane, mould testing Gold Coast, black mould removal QLD, mould inspection Brisbane, commercial mould removal QLD

Professional Mould Removal and Remediation Across Brisbane and Gold Coast
Innovare Demolitions provides professional mould testing, containment, removal and remediation for residential and commercial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Queensland’s humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for mould growth — particularly in older homes with poor subfloor ventilation, properties that have experienced water ingress, and buildings following flood or storm damage.
Mould is more than a cosmetic problem. Significant mould growth — especially black mould (Stachybotrys) and Cladosporium species — can cause respiratory illness, allergic reactions and long-term health effects, particularly in children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.

Our Mould Remediation Process
Step 1: Testing and Inspection We conduct a thorough mould inspection, identifying all affected areas including hidden mould behind walls, under floors, in roof cavities and in HVAC systems. Where a definitive species identification or airborne spore count is required, we collect samples for laboratory analysis by a NATA-accredited facility.
Step 2: Moisture Source Identification Mould cannot be permanently remediated without addressing the moisture source. We identify and advise on the underlying cause — whether that is a roof leak, rising damp, poor subfloor ventilation, plumbing leak or inadequate waterproofing — and coordinate with building trades to rectify it prior to remediation.
Step 3: Containment The affected area is contained to prevent cross-contamination during remediation. Depending on the scale, this may involve plastic sheeting barriers, negative-air pressure machines with HEPA filtration, and restricted access.
Step 4: Removal and Remediation Contaminated materials that cannot be adequately cleaned — typically porous materials such as plasterboard, insulation, soft furnishings and timber with deep penetration — are removed and disposed of as contaminated waste. Hard surfaces are treated with appropriate biocidal agents. HEPA vacuuming is used throughout.
Step 5: Drying and Treatment Affected areas are dried to below 15% moisture content using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. Treated surfaces are inspected to confirm remediation is complete.
Step 6: Prevention and Reinstatement We provide practical advice on preventing mould recurrence — ventilation improvements, vapour barriers, landscaping drainage adjustments — and coordinate or carry out reinstatement of removed building materials.

Mould in Older Queensland Properties
Older Brisbane and Gold Coast homes — particularly Queenslander-style homes on stumps, post-war fibro homes, and 1970s–80s brick veneer houses — are frequently affected by subfloor mould due to inadequate ventilation, moisture from ground surfaces, and blocked underfloor airflow. This type of mould can affect structural timbers and floor coverings without being visible from inside the home.

Commercial Mould Remediation
Mould in commercial properties — offices, retail, schools, aged-care facilities and hotels — has additional urgency given the duty of care to occupants and the potential for business disruption. We manage commercial mould remediation with minimal disruption, working outside business hours where required, and providing written clearance documentation for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I have a mould problem?
Visible mould growth, musty odours, unexplained respiratory symptoms or allergies among occupants, and recent water damage are all indicators. The only way to confirm the extent and species of mould is through a professional inspection and, where necessary, laboratory testing.
Q: Can I remove mould myself?
Small surface patches on hard, non-porous surfaces (less than approximately one square metre) can be cleaned with appropriate products. Anything beyond this — particularly where mould is on porous materials, in wall cavities, or where occupants have health concerns — should be handled by a professional remediator.
Q: Does insurance cover mould removal?
It depends on the cause. Mould resulting from a sudden and accidental water event (e.g. a burst pipe covered under home and contents) may be covered. Mould resulting from gradual leakage or maintenance neglect is typically excluded. We can provide documentation to support your insurance claim.
Q: How long does mould remediation take?
Small areas may be remediated in a single day. Significant whole-home or commercial remediation projects may take several days to a week, with drying time monitored over a further few days before reinstatement.

Council-compliant, licensed waste disposal. Book today. URL Slug: /grease-trap-cleaning Primary Keyword: grease trap cleaning Brisbane Secondary Keywords: grease trap servicing Gold Coast, commercial kitchen grease trap QLD, grease interceptor cleaning Brisbane, trade waste compliance QLD

Grease Trap Cleaning and Servicing for Commercial Kitchens Across Brisbane and Gold Coast
Innovare Demolitions provides professional grease trap cleaning, servicing and maintenance for restaurants, cafes, hotels, clubs, institutional kitchens and food manufacturing facilities across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. A properly maintained grease trap protects your council trade waste approval, prevents drain blockages, avoids fines, and keeps your kitchen operating compliantly.
A grease trap or grease interceptor captures fats, oils and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer. Without regular cleaning, the trap exceeds its capacity and FOG passes into the sewer system — triggering trade waste infringement notices from your local council or water authority. Queensland local councils and Urban Utilities require grease traps to be serviced at intervals determined by the trap size and kitchen output, typically every one to three months for busy commercial operations.

Site Arrival and Assessment — our technician confirms the trap location, accesses the trap, and records pre-service conditions (grease depth, liquid depth, condition of baffles).
Pump-Out — the trap contents are fully pumped out using a vacuum tanker. We do not dilute or flush the trap — we remove all accumulated waste.
Inspection — the trap interior is inspected for condition, damage and baffle integrity. We note any issues requiring rectification.
Clean — the trap interior is cleaned with hot water and a degreaser, and inflow and outflow pipes are checked for blockages.
Reinstatement — the trap lid is securely replaced and any disturbed surfaces reinstated.
Service Record and Compliance Documentation — we issue a service record noting waste volume removed and disposal details. Waste is transported and disposed of at a licensed liquid waste facility.

Compliance with Trade Waste Regulations
Every grease trap service we perform is documented and the waste transported under a licensed liquid waste manifest. This documentation is your record of compliance if Council or your water authority requests evidence of regular maintenance. We recommend all businesses maintain a grease trap service log — we provide this documentation with every service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
This depends on the trap size and your kitchen’s output. Council or your trade waste approval conditions may specify a minimum frequency. As a general guide, most commercial kitchens require cleaning every four to twelve weeks. We can advise on appropriate intervals for your operation.
Q: What happens if my grease trap overflows?
An overflow or bypass can result in a trade waste infringement notice, fines, and potential suspension of your trade waste approval — which would effectively shut your kitchen. If you are experiencing issues, call us on [Phone Number — to be confirmed] for urgent service.
Q: Do you service all types of grease traps?
We service all types of grease traps — under-sink units, outdoor in-ground concrete traps and large proprietary grease interceptors. We work with trap sizes from small cafe units to large industrial interceptors.
Q: Is grease trap waste disposed of legally?
Yes. All liquid waste removed from grease traps is transported under a licensed liquid waste manifest to an approved liquid waste receiving facility. We provide disposal documentation with every service.

9. Biohazardous Waste Disposal
Meta Title: Biohazardous Waste Disposal Brisbane &amp; QLD | Safe Handling Meta Description: Licensed biohazardous waste disposal across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Blood, bodily fluids, sharps, clinical and trauma waste managed safely and compliantly. Call us today. URL Slug: /biohazardous-waste-disposal Primary Keyword: biohazardous waste disposal Brisbane Secondary Keywords: clinical waste disposal QLD, trauma clean up Brisbane, sharps disposal Brisbane, biological waste removal Gold Coast, contaminated waste disposal QLD

Biohazardous Waste Disposal — Safe, Discreet and Fully Licensed Across Brisbane and SEQ
Innovare Demolitions provides safe collection, handling and disposal of biohazardous waste for residential, commercial, healthcare, aged-care and industrial settings across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Biohazardous materials require specialised handling by trained personnel with appropriate PPE, containment equipment and licensed disposal pathways — this is not work that should be improvised.
Biohazardous waste includes materials contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, human or animal tissue, sharps, clinical waste from healthcare settings, and trauma or crime scene residues. Improper disposal of biohazardous material is an offence under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld) and poses serious public health risks.

Types of Biohazardous Waste We Manage
Blood and bodily fluid contamination — trauma scenes, unattended deaths, accident sites
Sharps and needles — illicit drug paraphernalia, medical waste
Clinical waste — waste from healthcare, aged-care and veterinary settings
Human and animal remains — in conjunction with appropriate authorities
Hoarding properties with biohazardous contamination — properties containing accumulated organic waste, faecal matter and decomposing material (See also: Hoarding and Squalor Clean Up)
Deceased estate properties — where the property has been unoccupied or subject to an unattended death (See also: Deceased Estate Clean Up)

Our Approach to Biohazardous Waste Handling
All biohazardous work is carried out by trained personnel equipped with full PPE including respirators, Tyvek suits, gloves and eye protection appropriate to the hazard level. We follow documented safe-work procedures at all times and use hospital-grade disinfectants for decontamination of surfaces following waste removal.
Waste is segregated, contained in appropriate UN-approved containers, and transported under a licensed hazardous-waste manifest to a licensed clinical or liquid waste treatment facility. We provide full disposal documentation.
We understand that many situations requiring biohazardous waste disposal are distressing for the property owner or family. Our team operates with complete discretion and without judgement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I do if I discover a trauma scene or unattended death in a property?
Contact emergency services first if required. Once the scene has been released by police, contact Innovare Demolitions. We will provide a rapid response assessment and quote for safe clean-up and biohazardous waste removal.
Q: Can biohazardous waste be put in normal bins?
No. Biohazardous waste must be segregated, containerised and disposed of at a licensed facility. Placing biohazardous waste in general waste bins is illegal and poses public health risks.
Q: Is your team trained for trauma clean-up?
Yes. Our team members involved in biohazardous work hold relevant units of competency in hazardous materials handling and use appropriate PPE protocols throughout.
Q: Do you work discreetly?
Yes. We arrive in unmarked or discretely marked vehicles on request and operate with complete confidentiality regarding the nature of the work.

10. Yard Clean Ups
Meta Title: Yard Clean Ups Brisbane &amp; Gold Coast | Site Clearing &amp; Rubbish Removal Meta Description: Professional yard and site clean ups across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Garden rubbish, hard waste, demolition debris and site clearing for homes and businesses. Call for a quote. URL Slug: /yard-clean-ups Primary Keyword: yard clean ups Brisbane Secondary Keywords: site clearing Brisbane, rubbish removal Gold Coast, garden clean up Brisbane, hard rubbish removal QLD, property clean up Brisbane

Yard Clean Ups and Site Clearing Across Brisbane and Gold Coast
Innovare Demolitions provides thorough yard clean-up and site-clearing services for residential homeowners, landlords, property managers and commercial operators across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Whether you have an overgrown and cluttered backyard, a property inherited with decades of accumulated junk, or a development site requiring total clearing, our team arrives with the right equipment and removes everything safely and legally.

What We Clear
Garden waste — branches, overgrowth, tree stumps, grass clippings, organic debris
Hard rubbish — old appliances, furniture, mattresses, broken equipment
Construction and demolition debris — bricks, concrete, roofing, timber offcuts
Fencing — old timber, Colorbond and pool fencing removal
Sheds and outbuildings — dismantling and removal of small structures
Soil and fill — removal of excess fill, contaminated soil (coordinated with licensed disposal)
Old vehicles and machinery (coordination with scrap metal recyclers)

Why Use a Licensed Contractor for Yard Clean-Ups?
Not all yard clean-ups are straightforward. Older properties — particularly in Brisbane’s inner and middle-ring suburbs and older Gold Coast communities — frequently contain asbestos cement in shed walls, fibro fencing, or buried demolition rubble from previous renovations. Disturbing these materials without appropriate handling and disposal procedures creates a health risk and a legal liability.
Innovare Demolitions’ team is trained to identify and correctly handle suspected hazardous materials encountered during yard clean-ups, and we hold the licences to manage them. If asbestos is discovered, we manage it in-house. You do not need to engage a second contractor.

Waste Disposal and Recycling
All waste is sorted on-site where possible to maximise recycling and divert material from landfill. Clean timber, metal, concrete and green waste are separated for recycling. General waste is transported to a licensed facility. Hazardous materials — including asbestos if encountered — are managed under licensed disposal procedures. You receive documentation of disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you provide a skip bin as part of the service?
For larger jobs, we can arrange skip bins or use our own trucks. We manage the full logistics so you do not need to arrange separate waste disposal.
Q: What if asbestos is found during the yard clean-up?
Our team is trained to identify suspected ACM. If asbestos is encountered, we stop work on the affected area, isolate it, and arrange for proper testing and licensed removal before proceeding. As an A-Class licensed removalist, we manage this in-house.
Q: Can you clear a rental property between tenancies?
Yes. We frequently work with landlords and property managers to clear and clean up rental properties between tenancies. We can also coordinate with our mould removal and hoarding clean-up teams if required.
Q: How do I get a quote?
Call us on [Phone Number — to be confirmed] or submit our online enquiry form with a description of the property and the approximate scale of the job. For larger properties, we prefer a quick site visit to provide an accurate, fixed-price quote.

11. Asbestos Testing and Inspections
Meta Title: Asbestos Testing Brisbane &amp; SEQ | Inspections &amp; Lab Analysis Meta Description: Professional asbestos testing and inspections across Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ. NATA lab analysis, risk assessment and written reports. Call for a site inspection. URL Slug: /asbestos-testing Primary Keyword: asbestos testing SEQ Secondary Keywords: asbestos inspection Brisbane, asbestos sampling Gold Coast, asbestos survey QLD, NATA asbestos testing Brisbane, asbestos risk assessment SEQ

Asbestos Testing and Inspections Across Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ
Innovare Demolitions provides professional asbestos inspections, material sampling and laboratory-confirmed testing for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. If you suspect your property contains asbestos-containing materials (ACM), or if you need a formal written assessment for the purposes of renovation, sale, demolition or workplace compliance, our licensed team delivers clear, documented results.
Visual identification of asbestos is unreliable — the only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos is laboratory analysis. Innovare Demolitions collects samples in accordance with Safe Work Australia guidelines and submits them to a NATA-accredited laboratory for polarised light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis.

Why Get an Asbestos Inspection?
Pre-renovation — before any renovation or maintenance work on a pre-2003 property, an asbestos assessment is strongly recommended. In workplaces, it is required by law.
Pre-purchase — understanding whether a property contains ACM and its condition is important information before committing to a purchase.
Pre-demolition — all buildings constructed before 2003 must have a pre-demolition hazardous materials survey. This is a legal requirement.
Property management — under the WHS Regulation 2011, commercial property owners and managers are required to maintain an asbestos register and management plan for any building constructed before 2003 that may contain ACM.
Tenant request or concern — if a tenant or employee raises a concern about asbestos, a professional inspection and report provides evidence-based assurance.

Our Inspection and Testing Process
Initial Consultation — we discuss the property, its age, construction type and the purpose of the assessment.
Site Inspection — a licensed assessor inspects all accessible areas of the property, identifying materials that are suspected or confirmed to contain asbestos based on visual assessment and knowledge of construction practices of the era.
Sampling — representative samples are collected from suspected ACM using safe sampling techniques to minimise fibre release. Sampling is conducted using appropriate PPE.
Laboratory Analysis — samples are submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within two to five business days.
Written Report and Risk Assessment — we provide a written inspection report including a register of all sampled materials, laboratory results, risk assessment (condition, likelihood of disturbance, exposure risk), and recommendations for management or removal.

Asbestos Register and Management Plans
For commercial and industrial properties, we can prepare a compliant asbestos register and management plan in accordance with the WHS Regulation 2011. This document must be maintained, kept on-site and reviewed at least every five years — or sooner if circumstances change (renovation, damage, change of use).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does asbestos testing cost?
The cost depends on the number of samples collected and the property size. A typical residential inspection with up to five samples is significantly less expensive than a multi-sample commercial survey. Contact us for a quote specific to your property.
Q: How quickly will I receive the results?
Most laboratory results are returned within two to five business days of sample submission. Expedited analysis is available at additional cost where time is critical.
Q: Can you test in ceiling cavities and subfloor areas?
Yes. Our assessors are equipped to access roof spaces, ceiling cavities, subfloor areas and other confined spaces where ACM may be present.
Q: If asbestos is found, can you remove it?
Yes. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence. If asbestos is identified during inspection, we provide a seamless pathway from confirmation to licensed removal under a single contract. (See: Asbestos Removal and Disposal)

12. Asbestos Soil Remediation
Meta Title: Asbestos Soil Remediation Brisbane &amp; SEQ | Contaminated Land Meta Description: Licensed asbestos soil remediation across Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ. Soil testing, excavation, disposal and clearance certification for contaminated land. Call today. URL Slug: /asbestos-soil-remediation Primary Keyword: asbestos soil remediation Brisbane Secondary Keywords: contaminated soil asbestos QLD, asbestos in soil Brisbane, asbestos land remediation SEQ, buried asbestos removal QLD, asbestos contaminated land Gold Coast

Asbestos Soil Remediation Across Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ
Innovare Demolitions provides licensed asbestos soil testing, excavation, remediation and clearance certification for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Asbestos contamination in soil — whether from decades of degraded roofing, buried demolition rubble, or historical dumping — is a serious and regulated public health issue requiring specialist management.
Asbestos-contaminated soil is classified as hazardous waste under Queensland environmental legislation. Any soil remediation involving asbestos must be conducted by a licensed asbestos removalist. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed] and manages soil remediation projects from initial testing through to disposal and written clearance.

How Asbestos Ends Up in Soil
In South East Queensland, asbestos soil contamination commonly arises from: - Degraded asbestos cement roofing or cladding that has crumbled and contaminated the ground surface and topsoil below - Buried building rubble from historical demolitions — common on older residential blocks that were redeveloped without proper hazmat management - Historical backfill using demolition rubble from asbestos-era buildings - Fly-tipping or historical uncontrolled dumping of asbestos-containing materials
Pre-1980 Brisbane and Gold Coast properties with original fibro outbuildings, deteriorated super-six roofing or previous unexplained landscaping changes are particularly at risk.

Our Soil Remediation Process
Soil Investigation — soil sampling from suspect areas using appropriate methods; laboratory analysis by NATA-accredited laboratory confirms the presence and concentration of asbestos.
Remediation Plan — we develop a site-specific remediation plan in accordance with the Guidance for the assessment and remediation of asbestos in soil (NSW EPA / NEPM guidelines referenced in Queensland practice) and notify WHSQ as required.
Excavation and Removal — contaminated soil is carefully excavated under asbestos controls (wet methods, appropriate PPE, air monitoring), loaded into lined skip bins or trucks, and transported under a hazardous-waste manifest.
Validation Testing — after removal, confirmatory soil samples are collected and analysed to verify the area has been remediated to below the applicable threshold.
Clearance Report — a written validation and clearance report documents the extent of contamination, remediation work undertaken, and validation results confirming the site is suitable for its intended use.

Regulatory Context
Asbestos-contaminated soil in Queensland is managed under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld), the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure (NEPM), and relevant Safe Work Australia codes. The acceptable level of asbestos in soil depends on the intended land use (residential with access by children being the most stringent). We advise on the relevant standard for your site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my soil is contaminated with asbestos?
Visual identification of fragments, a history of fibro structures on the site, or recent disturbance that has raised dust concerns are all indicators. Definitive confirmation requires laboratory testing of soil samples. Contact us for a site assessment.
Q: Is asbestos soil remediation covered by insurance?
It depends on your policy and the cause of contamination. Some home and property policies include limited environmental liability cover. We can provide documentation to support an insurance claim.
Q: What happens to the excavated soil?
Asbestos-contaminated soil is classified as hazardous waste and disposed of at an EPA-approved facility licensed to receive asbestos waste. We provide full disposal documentation.
Q: Can I reuse soil from the site after remediation?
Once validation testing confirms the soil meets the applicable threshold for the intended land use, the remediated area can be reinstated. Clean fill or imported topsoil may be required to replace excavated material.

When asbestos-containing materials are damaged, disturbed or scattered, immediate licensed response is critical to protect the health of occupants, workers and the public.
Emergency? Call us now: [Phone Number — to be confirmed]

When Emergency Asbestos Clean Up Is Required
Storm Damage Queensland’s severe storm season is the single most common trigger for emergency asbestos incidents. Older homes with super-six asbestos cement roofing are vulnerable to cyclonic winds and hail. When roofing is blown off or smashed, asbestos debris can scatter across the property and neighbouring properties. This is an A-Class asbestos removal scenario and requires immediate licensed response.
Fire Damage Fire that affects asbestos-containing materials can render non-friable ACM friable as bonding agents burn away, significantly increasing the hazard. Post-fire asbestos clean-up must be conducted by licensed removalists.
Flood Damage Floodwater can dislodge and spread asbestos debris, contaminate soil and create extensive clean-up challenges. We assess flood-affected properties rapidly and develop a safe remediation plan.
Accidental Disturbance During renovations or demolition, workers sometimes unknowingly cut, drill, sand or break asbestos-containing materials — especially in pre-1990 homes. If this occurs, stop work, vacate the area immediately, and call Innovare Demolitions.
Vehicle Impact A vehicle impacting an asbestos cement fence, wall or building can scatter fibrous debris widely. The surrounding area must be assessed and cleaned by a licensed removalist.

Our Emergency Response Protocol
Immediate Telephone Assessment — our qualified staff assess the situation by phone to give you immediate safety guidance: evacuate the area, prevent access, and avoid disturbing the material further.
Rapid Site Attendance — we mobilise a licensed crew to the site as quickly as conditions permit.
Site Isolation and Assessment — the affected area is cordoned off. Our assessors identify the extent of contamination, including any spread to neighbouring properties.
Licensed Removal — debris is collected using wet methods and appropriate PPE, contained in double-bagged asbestos waste bags, labelled and removed.
WHSQ Notification — we manage all required regulatory notifications.
Air Monitoring and Clearance — independent air monitoring confirms clearance. A clearance certificate is issued.
Insurance Documentation — we provide full documentation suitable for an insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do immediately after a storm damages my asbestos roof?
Evacuate the affected area, prevent others from accessing it, do not attempt to clean up debris yourself, and call Innovare Demolitions on [Phone Number — to be confirmed] for emergency assessment. Keep everyone away from broken roofing material.
Q: Is emergency asbestos clean-up covered by home insurance?
Storm and fire damage events are generally covered under standard home and contents policies. We provide full documentation of the work performed and disposal records to support your claim.
Q: Can emergency asbestos clean-up happen on weekends and public holidays?
We prioritise emergency response and can mobilise outside standard business hours for genuine emergencies involving immediate public health risk. Call [Phone Number — to be confirmed] to discuss your situation.
Q: My neighbour’s asbestos roof has blown onto my property — what do I do?

URL Slug: /asbestos-roof-removal Primary Keyword: asbestos roof removal Brisbane Secondary Keywords: asbestos cement roof removal QLD, super six roof removal Brisbane, fibro roof removal Gold Coast, asbestos roofing disposal QLD, roof removal Brisbane

Asbestos Roof Removal Across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland
Innovare Demolitions provides licensed removal of asbestos cement roofing across Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ. Super-six corrugated asbestos cement sheeting and flat fibro roofing are among the most common asbestos-containing materials found on Queensland homes and outbuildings built before 1990. As this roofing ages, it degrades, becomes brittle and friable, and poses an increasing risk to occupants and neighbouring properties.
Asbestos roof removal over 10 square metres requires a licensed asbestos removalist. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class licence [A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence No. — to be confirmed], covering all categories of asbestos roof sheeting in any quantity and condition.

Types of Asbestos Roofing We Remove
Corrugated asbestos cement sheeting (super-six profile)
Flat asbestos cement sheet roofing
Asbestos cement ridge capping and flashing
Asbestos-containing roofing underlay or sarking
Asbestos roofing in poor condition — cracked, broken, heavily weathered, lichen-covered or already partially friable — must be treated with particular care. We use wet suppression methods throughout and do not dry-cut or break sheets unnecessarily.

Our Asbestos Roof Removal Process
Inspection and Quote — we inspect the roof, assess the condition and extent of ACM, and provide a fixed-price quote including disposal.
WHSQ Notification — we notify WHSQ at least five business days prior to commencing where required.
Access and Safety Setup — appropriate fall protection, scaffolding or roof access equipment is erected. The ground below the work area is protected and access restricted.
Controlled Removal — sheets are removed carefully and intact where possible. Wet suppression is used throughout. All debris is collected and bagged.
Bagging, Labelling and Transport — all ACM is double-wrapped or containerised, clearly labelled as asbestos waste, and transported under a hazardous-waste manifest to a licensed disposal facility.
Site Clean and Clearance — the surrounding area is cleaned. On completion, documentation is provided including waste disposal receipts.

After Asbestos Roof Removal
Once the asbestos roofing is removed, your property is ready for re-roofing with modern materials — Colorbond, terracotta, concrete tiles or membrane roofing. Innovare Demolitions can coordinate with roofing contractors, or if the roof removal is part of a broader renovation or demolition project, we coordinate seamlessly with the build team. (See also: Residential Demolition)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I replace asbestos roofing myself?
No. Removal of more than 10 square metres of asbestos cement roofing requires a licensed asbestos removalist in Queensland. Even smaller areas require careful handling and licensed disposal of the waste.
Q: How much does asbestos roof removal cost in Brisbane?
Costs depend on the roof area, accessibility, pitch, condition of the sheeting, and disposal weight. We provide fixed-price itemised quotes. Contact us on [Phone Number — to be confirmed] for a quote specific to your property.
Q: Do you need to temporarily vacate the property during roof removal?
For non-friable roof sheeting in good condition, temporary exclusion from the immediate work area is typically sufficient. For deteriorated or friable sheeting, we may recommend temporarily vacating the property. We advise on this at the quotation stage.
Q: Do you dispose of the old roofing materials?
Yes. Licensed disposal is included in our quote. We transport all asbestos waste to an EPA-approved facility and provide waste disposal documentation.

15. Lead Paint Removal
Meta Title: Lead Paint Removal Brisbane &amp; Gold Coast | Licensed Testing &amp; Removal Meta Description: Professional lead paint testing and removal across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Safe containment, encapsulation or full removal for homes and commercial buildings. Call today. URL Slug: /lead-paint-removal Primary Keyword: lead paint removal Brisbane Secondary Keywords: lead paint testing Brisbane, lead paint removal Gold Coast, lead-based paint removal QLD, lead paint inspection Brisbane, lead abatement SEQ

Lead Paint Removal and Testing Across Brisbane and Gold Coast
Innovare Demolitions provides professional lead paint testing, risk assessment and removal for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. Lead-based paint was widely used in Australian buildings until the mid-1970s — any property built before 1970 has a high likelihood of containing lead paint, and properties built up to the early 1980s may also be affected.
Lead is a potent neurotoxin. Exposure through ingestion of paint chips, inhalation of dust during sanding or demolition, or soil contamination from deteriorating exterior lead paint poses serious health risks — particularly to children under six and pregnant women. Lead paint that is intact and in good condition may be manageable in place, but deteriorating, damaged or about to be disturbed lead paint must be treated by a professional.

When Lead Paint Removal Is Needed
Before renovation — sanding, grinding, cutting or demolishing surfaces with lead paint generates hazardous dust. Assessment and controlled management is required before this work proceeds.
Deteriorating lead paint — flaking, chipping or chalking lead paint on interior or exterior surfaces poses an ingestion and soil contamination risk, particularly on older Brisbane and Gold Coast homes.
Child health concerns — properties occupied by young children with deteriorating lead paint require prompt management.
Before demolition — lead paint must be identified and managed prior to building demolition.
Commercial and industrial repaints — older commercial and industrial facilities often have heavy lead paint coatings on structural steel that require managed removal before repainting or demolition.

Our Lead Paint Process
Testing We use XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysers for non-destructive in-situ testing, or collect paint samples for laboratory analysis. Testing identifies the location, extent and approximate lead loading of paint across the building.
Risk Assessment and Recommendations Not all lead paint requires removal. We assess the condition of paint and the likelihood and pathway of exposure, and recommend the appropriate management approach: - Encapsulation — application of a specialised encapsulant coating over intact lead paint where the substrate is stable and disturbance unlikely. - Enclosure — covering the affected surface with new cladding or lining. - Full removal — chemical stripping, mechanical removal or wet-sanding under containment conditions where paint is deteriorating, or the surface is to be disturbed.
Safe Removal Where removal is required, we establish containment to prevent dust spread, use wet methods to suppress lead dust, and work in appropriate respiratory and skin PPE. All lead paint waste is collected, bagged and disposed of at a licensed facility.

Lead Paint in Older Queensland Homes
Weatherboard Queenslanders and post-war fibro homes in Brisbane suburbs such as Nundah, Lutwyche, Wooloowin, Moorooka and Wynnum frequently have multiple layers of lead paint on timber surfaces. Exterior paint on these homes has often deteriorated to the point of depositing lead in surrounding soil, which is an additional remediation consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my home has lead paint?
Homes built before 1970 very likely contain lead paint on at least some surfaces. Testing is the only reliable way to confirm its presence and extent. We offer XRF testing and sample analysis across Brisbane and Gold Coast.
Q: Is lead paint dangerous if it’s covered by new paint?
Intact, well-adhered lead paint covered by newer layers is generally lower risk provided it is not being disturbed. However, any sanding, grinding or cutting of painted surfaces — even covered lead paint — can release lead dust. Assessment before renovation is strongly recommended.
Q: Can I remove lead paint myself?
In residential settings, homeowners may attempt small-scale paint removal, but dry sanding and heat stripping of lead paint creates serious dust hazards and is strongly discouraged. For any significant quantities or where children or pregnant women are present, professional removal is recommended.
Q: Is lead soil contamination addressed?
Where exterior lead paint has been depositing onto soil for many years, the surrounding garden beds and ground surface may be contaminated. We assess and can manage lead soil contamination in conjunction with removal works.

Hoarding and Squalor Clean Up — Compassionate, Discreet and Safe Across Brisbane and Gold Coast
Innovare Demolitions provides sensitive, professional clean-up services for properties affected by hoarding or squalor across Brisbane, Gold Coast and South East Queensland. We understand that these situations involve real people — often individuals or families navigating significant personal, medical or mental health challenges — and we approach every job with complete discretion, respect and no judgement.
Hoarding clean-ups frequently involve not just the removal of large volumes of accumulated belongings and waste, but the management of genuine biohazards: mould, rodent and pest activity, human or animal waste, sharps and other dangerous materials. Our team is trained and equipped for all of these conditions.

What Hoarding and Squalor Clean-Ups Typically Involve
Every property is different, and we conduct an initial assessment before any work begins. Common elements include:
Safe removal of accumulated belongings — we work with the relevant parties (the individual, family members, public guardians, real estate agents) to identify items to be retained, donated or disposed of, treating the process with sensitivity.
Rubbish and waste removal — large volumes of general rubbish, food waste, packaging and accumulated materials.
Biohazard management — human or animal waste, pest activity, mould, sharps. Our team uses appropriate PPE and biocidal treatments throughout. (See: Biohazardous Waste Disposal, Mould Removal)
Structural assessment — hoarding can conceal building defects, water damage, mould and structural issues. We identify and advise on these as the property is cleared.
Deep clean and decontamination — once cleared, affected surfaces are cleaned and decontaminated using commercial-grade products.
Hazardous materials management — asbestos, lead paint or other hazardous materials discovered in older properties are managed under our licences.
Reinstatement — we can coordinate repairs, painting and restoration to return the property to a habitable and marketable standard.

Working with Families, Guardians and Agencies
We regularly work with families supporting an elderly relative, public guardians acting under legal authority, social service agencies, real estate managers and private landlords. We communicate clearly throughout the process, respect privacy, and maintain strict confidentiality. We can accommodate requests for discreet vehicle attendance and work scheduling outside peak hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you approach the clean-up when the person is still living in the property?
We work collaboratively with the person and their support network. Clean-up progresses at a pace that is manageable and respectful. We do not remove items without appropriate authorisation.
Q: Is a hoarding property safe to enter?
Severely affected properties can present structural risks, biological hazards and falling hazard from stacked materials. Our team conducts an initial safety assessment before general entry, and our crew is equipped with appropriate PPE.
Q: How long does a hoarding clean-up take?
This varies enormously depending on the size of the property and the extent of accumulation. Small apartments may be completed in one to two days; severely affected houses may require a week or more. We provide a realistic estimate after the initial assessment.
Q: Do you work with insurance or government funding?
Yes. We can provide detailed quotes and invoices in the format required by insurance companies, NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and public guardians.

What Our Deceased Estate Service Covers
Full Property Clear-Out Removal of all furniture, personal belongings, clothing, equipment and general contents. We work with the estate executor or legal representative to identify items for retention, donation to charity or disposal, treating all belongings with care throughout the process.
Unattended Death Clean Up Where a person has passed away and the property has been unoccupied for a period, or where the circumstances require biohazardous decontamination, we provide full trauma-scene clean-up and sanitisation. This includes surface decontamination, odour treatment and safe biohazard disposal. (See: Biohazardous Waste Disposal)
Hazardous Materials Management Older properties may contain asbestos, lead paint or other hazardous materials that must be managed as part of the clean-out — particularly if renovation or sale is planned following the estate’s administration. Our licensed team manages this in-house.
Mould and Water Damage Remediation Properties unoccupied for extended periods frequently develop mould, water damage and pest activity. We assess and remediate all of these as part of the estate clean-up service. (See: Mould Removal)
Garden and Yard Clearing Overgrown gardens, accumulated outdoor rubbish and debris are cleared and disposed of properly. (See: Yard Clean Ups)
Post-Clean Restoration Coordination Once the property is cleared and remediated, we can coordinate or carry out repairs, painting and deep cleaning to bring the property to a condition suitable for sale or rental.

Working with Executors, Solicitors and Families
We work regularly with estate executors, solicitors, real estate agents and family members. We provide clear written quotes, itemised invoices suitable for estate accounting, and carry out the work to a schedule that suits the estate administration timeline. We maintain strict confidentiality about all aspects of the property and its circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who authorises the clean-up of a deceased estate?
Typically the estate executor or administrator has legal authority over the property and its contents. We confirm authorisation before commencing any removal of property. If there are any complexities — disputed estate, no next of kin — we advise engaging a solicitor before proceeding.
Q: Can you coordinate the donation of usable belongings to charity?
Yes. We can arrange for usable furniture, clothing and household goods to be collected by or delivered to relevant charities as part of the clean-up process.
Q: How do you handle the clean-up after an unattended death?
Our team manages this with full professionalism and discretion. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, appropriate PPE and follow safe-work procedures for all biological hazard management. You are not required to be present during this part of the work.
Q: How quickly can you start?
We understand that estate timelines can be time-sensitive. We prioritise deceased estate enquiries and typically provide an assessment within 24–48 hours of initial contact.

Frequently Asked Questions — Innovare Demolitions
Below are the most common questions we receive from Brisbane and Gold Coast homeowners, builders, property managers and commercial clients. If your question is not answered here, call us on [Phone Number — to be confirmed] — our licensed team is happy to provide clear, honest guidance.

Q1: How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
The only definitive way to confirm asbestos is through laboratory analysis of a collected sample. Visual identification is unreliable — asbestos-containing materials can look identical to non-asbestos alternatives. As a general guide, any property built before 1990 has a realistic chance of containing ACM; properties built before 1980 have a high probability. Common locations include fibro wall and eave cladding, corrugated cement roofing, vinyl floor tiles and backing, textured ceiling coatings, and pipe lagging in older homes and commercial buildings. Contact us for a professional asbestos inspection. (See: Asbestos Testing and Inspections)

Q2: Do I need a permit to demolish a house in Queensland?
Yes. In Queensland, you require a development approval (demolition permit) from your local council before demolishing a structure. You also need to notify Workplace Health and Safety Queensland at least five business days before demolition commences. Utility services must be disconnected prior to demolition, and a pre-demolition hazardous materials survey must be completed for any building constructed before 2003. Innovare Demolitions manages all of these requirements on your behalf.

Q3: How much does asbestos removal cost in Brisbane?
Cost depends on the type of asbestos (friable vs non-friable), quantity, accessibility, required air monitoring and clearance certification, and disposal weight. Small residential removals — a single outbuilding’s fibro cladding or a garage roof — can start from a few hundred dollars. Larger whole-house or commercial removals may cost several thousand dollars. We provide detailed, fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees. Call [Phone Number — to be confirmed] or use our online enquiry form for a quote.

Q4: Is asbestos removal covered by insurance?
Asbestos removal resulting from a sudden insured event — storm damage, fire, flood — is often covered under home and contents or commercial property policies. Asbestos removal required for planned renovation or as part of general maintenance is typically not covered by insurance. We provide complete documentation to support insurance claims for applicable events.

Q5: How long does it take to demolish a house?
The active demolition of a typical Queensland residential home takes one to three days. However, the overall project timeline — including pre-demolition survey, asbestos removal (if required), permit processing (two to four weeks), WHSQ notification (five business days), utility disconnections, and site clean-up — typically runs four to six weeks from contract signing to cleared site. We provide a detailed project schedule with every quote.

Q6: What happens to the demolition and asbestos waste?
All waste is managed in accordance with Queensland environmental legislation. General demolition waste (concrete, metal, timber, masonry) is transported to a licensed waste facility and sorted for recycling where possible. Asbestos waste is double-wrapped, labelled, transported under a hazardous-waste manifest, and disposed of at an EPA-approved facility licensed to receive asbestos. You receive disposal documentation for all hazardous material removed from your site.

Q7: Do I need to move out during asbestos removal?
For non-friable asbestos removal (e.g. fibro cladding, roof sheeting in good condition), temporary exclusion from the immediate work area is typically sufficient and you can remain in the property. For friable asbestos removal — particularly in ceiling cavities, pipe lagging or deteriorated roofing — we generally recommend temporarily vacating the affected part of the property during works. We will advise specifically on this during the quoting process based on the type and location of asbestos identified.

Q8: Are your licences and insurance current?
Yes. Our QBCC licence, Demolition Licence, A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence and insurance policies are current and maintained. Copies of our licence details are included in every quote document, and certificates of currency are available on request. You can also verify our QBCC registration directly through the QBCC licence search tool on the QBCC website.

Q9: What is the difference between A-Class and B-Class asbestos removal licences?
A B-Class asbestos removal licence permits the removal of non-friable (bonded) asbestos-containing materials only — for example, asbestos cement sheeting that is intact and not deteriorated — in quantities over 10 square metres. An A-Class licence is required for the removal of all friable (loose, crumbled) asbestos in any quantity, and is also used for non-friable work. Innovare Demolitions holds an A-Class licence, the highest tier, meaning we can legally manage all categories of asbestos removal.

Q10: Can you manage the entire project — survey, asbestos removal and demolition — under one contract?
Yes. This is one of the key advantages of working with Innovare Demolitions. Because we hold both an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence and a Demolition Licence, we manage the entire project — from initial hazardous materials survey, through licensed asbestos removal with clearance certification, to structural demolition and site clearing — under a single contract with a single point of responsibility. This simplifies your project, reduces risk, and eliminates the coordination challenges of managing multiple contractors.
