Our Services
Above & Below provides Class A licensed asbestos fire door removal for residential, commercial, industrial and strata properties. We safely remove, transport and dispose of asbestos fire doors in accordance with SafeWork NSW requirements.
Asbestos is often concealed within older fire doors and cannot usually be identified through visual inspection alone. Before removal, consider whether the door:
If any of these apply, the fire door should be assessed before removal to determine whether specialist asbestos removal procedures are required.
From individual fire doors through to multi-door commercial, strata and government projects, our Class A licensed team can coordinate the removal, disposal and required asbestos compliance process.
Every asbestos fire door removal project requires careful planning, controlled procedures, and strict compliance with NSW asbestos regulations. Our process is designed to ensure safe, compliant removal while minimising disruption to the property and surrounding occupants.
Our team reviews the identified asbestos fire door, surrounding area and site conditions to determine the appropriate removal methodology, access requirements and safety controls before works commence.
Where required, we prepare the necessary asbestos removal notifications and documentation prior to commencing works. This stage ensures all removal activities comply with current NSW asbestos regulations, safety procedures, and approved work methodologies for friable asbestos removal.
Removal works are carried out within controlled environments using specialised containment methods and safety controls designed to minimise airborne asbestos fibres. Our Class A licensed team follows strict removal procedures to protect occupants, workers, and surrounding areas throughout the project.
For Class A friable asbestos removal works, an independent Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) undertakes the required air monitoring and clearance process. Following satisfactory completion of the clearance inspection and clearance air monitoring, the LAA issues the Clearance Certificate before the area is reoccupied.
Following removal, all asbestos-containing materials are securely packaged, transported, and disposed of at approved licensed waste facilities. We ensure all waste handling and disposal procedures are completed in accordance with NSW environmental and asbestos regulations.
Asbestos fire doors often contain friable asbestos materials, making them one of the highest-risk asbestos removal tasks. Choosing a Class A licensed asbestos removal company helps ensure the work is completed safely, compliantly and with minimal disruption to the surrounding property.

No. In NSW, removal of a friable asbestos-containing fire door requires a Class A asbestos removal licence. These works require specific controls and should only be undertaken by appropriately licensed asbestos professionals.
SafeWork specifically identifies friable asbestos fire doors as requiring a Class A licence.
Once removed, the asbestos-containing materials are securely double wrapped in 200um black plastic, transported, and disposed of at a licensed waste facility. Where required, replacement door installation and associated remediation works can also be coordinated.
