It also depends on whether access to the Asbestos laden area is easy or whether we’ll need special access such as scaffolding to get to the particular areas. In general, prices start from $50/m2.

It is possible that some aftermarket brakes, especially imported brakes, may still contain asbestos.

You can perform an internet search for “asbestos contractor” and the location of your home. Contact your state to determine what state training and accreditation requirements may exist for both the contractor and their workers. EPA recommends that you use an asbestos contractor that is properly trained to handle asbestos.

Generally, it can take half a day to remove the Asbestos but in some cases where a lot of it is present, it can take multiple days. We will be able to tell you how long it will take upon sighting the task.
