Get In Touch… Get It Tested

Let us know how we can help.

We can usually provide a removal quote based on your measurements, photos or reports. If you need testing or a survey completed, we will book a prompt time with you that suits.

While we are on site for the testing, we will measure up in case the result is positive, so that we may give you a tast quote for the removal work.

Getting Things Rolling

Once you've approved our quote, we'll issue you with a 50% deposit invoice.

If your removal quantity for the whole project is non-friable (Class B) and is more than 10m2, this will require an online notification to WorkSafe. From the date the online notification is submitted there is a 5 day stand down period where we are not allowed to start work. This stand down period is mandatory across the industry and is outside of our control.

If your quantity is non-friable and less than 10m2, no notification is required.

Considering the notification period, we'll discuss with you and schedule the job as you need. Whether this be asap, or to work in with other trades, we'll do what we can to minimize disruption to you.

An asbestos assessor is required for work over 10m2. We will liaise with the tester to have them attend site at the correct stage, from the start of the project through to clearance.

A site file will be created which contains the Health & Satety documentation needed for asbestos removal. We will compile our Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) and the Asbestos Removal Control Plan (ARCP), all of which is available to you if you require.

Before Work Starts

If disconnection of lights or plumbing etc. is required, this would have been discussed with you at the time of quoting. Let us know if you need us to liaise with your tradesmen so the work can be programmed to run smoothly.

A day or so out from our arrival is a good time to shift contents. If you have any items in the removal area, please move these so they are not in the way, cross contaminated or accidentally broken.

06 On The Day

On The Day

Savy Enviro Services will attend site at the agreed time and establish the site. During our time on site, no unauthorised persons can be in the vicinity.

A toolbox meeting will be had between the staff and the plan communicated to the team. All of our H&S correspondence is sent back to our office via our customised H&S app.

For non-friable work site establishment includes setting up barriers (tape/fencing), signage and a 4-stage decontamination unit.

Once the removal area is set up, the asbestos removal will take place.

Once the asbestos removal has been completed, we will arrange with the asbestos assessor for them to carry out their visual inspection for clear-ance.

The tester will give a written confirmation of clearance, issuing their report shortly after (1-2 days depending on the company).

We'll send you a same-day invoice via email once the work is complete.

H&S correspondence, completed documentation and photographs are available to you if requested, through Google Drive access into your job file.
