Asbestos testing in NSW can vary in cost, depending on the company you work with and the size and nature of your property or worksite. Here at EnviroX, our team of asbestos specialists carry out asbestos checks in Sydney for both residential and commercial clients – of course, the cost for each of these services varies.
Generally, a NSW asbestos inspection will cost a set fee for the inspection of your property, as well as a set fee for the examination of each sample found. Sample sizes are roughly the size of a 5-cent piece.
Residential customers can expect to pay around $250 for the inspection of their home, plus around $50-$60 for the analysis of each sample. Sometimes, the price is capped. So, if our inspector finds ten samples, you won’t pay for the examination of each individual sample.
The cost of asbestos testing Sydney is a small price you pay when you weigh up the potential health risks. A study out of the Medical Journal of Australia found that a staggering three out of five DIY renovators in NSW were exposed to asbestos. Even more worrying, 40 percent of their children were exposed, too.
Be an outlier. Invest in a quality asbestos inspection.
The only way to safely and effectively test for asbestos in your home is to work with professional environmental consultants and invest in a top-quality asbestos inspection. Remember, the health risks associated with asbestos exposure can be fatal – it’s vital to contract a team with a proven track record and years of experience.
Here at EnviroX, our consultants deliver an industry-leading, extremely detailed asbestos report to both residential and commercial clients. Each Sydney asbestos check identifies the presence of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials, and then determines the conditions and risks associated with these materials.
We send any retrieved samples to the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), a nationally recognised accrediting body for laboratories. This ensures accurate and reliable results.
Each report is then finished with an easy-to-understand conclusion, as well as key points of interest. Your health is our number one priority, and we always go above and beyond to deliver the information you need to keep your family safe.

Asbestos testing Sydney is a relatively quick and easy process. Exactly how long it takes will depend on the size and nature of your property, as well as the number of samples retrieved.
In a residential property, a professional asbestos inspection will take up to a couple of hours. Commercial and business clients may require a longer inspection. The team at EnviroX pride ourselves on our meticulous asbestos testing NSW. We don’t take any shortcuts or cut any corners – we review every nook and cranny to ensure no asbestos or asbestos-containing materials are left uncovered.
Once samples are retrieved from your property, they are sent away for testing. We send our samples to the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), so you can rest easy knowing the results are accurate and reliable.
The turnaround for test results is between 24 and 72 hours – so you won’t have to wait around for too long to find out whether or not you could be at risk.
Yes. As well as determining the presence of asbestos in materials, the air can be examined for asbestos fibres. In fact, asbestos poses the greatest risks when it’s airborne, as anyone in the vicinity can inhale these small fibres.
When asbestos fibres are breathed in, they can become stuck to mucus in the throat, bronchi, or trachea. The body will then clear these areas by coughing up the fibres, or by swallowing them. In some cases, asbestos fibres find their way into the lungs or even embedded into the outer lining of the lung and chest wall. This causes irritation on a cellular level in the short-term and lung cancer or mesothelioma (cancer of the thin lining of the organs in the chest) in the long-term.
If you are concerned about airborne asbestos, it is imperative you invest in an asbestos inspection Sydney that includes asbestos air monitoring. Asbestos air monitoring will vary depending on the type of asbestos, the location of the asbestos, and whether or not the asbestos is inside or outside.
