S.S.M Asbestos Removal and Demolition
Licensed Removalist for Class A and Class B Asbestos.
Over 20 years experience in the asbestos industry.
Experienced in all types of asbestos removal, contracts management and asbestos auditing/surveying. I started work for an asbestos company in the UK in 1996. I was quickly promoted to site supervisor. In this position I was able to demonstrate my man management skills along with being able to work as part of the team.
In 2004 I was again promoted to contracts manager of the asbestos division in a large construction and demolition company.
Prior to emigrating to Australia I was employed as a Senior Supervisor for an ‘Asbestos and Thermal Insulation Company’ in the U.K.
As a supervisor I have demonstrated my ability to be responsible for ensuring staff training and medical certificates are up to date and that staff are working within the appropriate regulations and guidelines. I have also completed the P402 Asbestos surveying course and I have some experience in this area.
I arrived in Australia in 2009, and decided to set up my own company concentrating on non-friable asbestos as the majority of work in my local area consists of Class B work. In 2016 I was successful in my Class A license application broadening the focus of the company, and further utalising my skills from the UK here in Victoria.
The techniques used for Asbestos removal in the UK are far more advanced than here in Australia. I am keen to continue to transfer the methods I used in the UK to my practice her in Victoria. I have a strong emphasis on health and safety and offer high quality work at competitive prices regardless of the size or location of the job

* Please see below the regulations as set out by WorkSafe, I am aware that many companies fail to comply with the strict regulations that are put in place to protect the general public*
To ensure that your project complies with the legal aspects licensed asbestos removal companies are required by law to submit documentation to the Work Safe Department closest to your site.
WorkSafe requires not less than five (5) days notice if your project exceeds 10sqm This documents need to be lodged by the licensed asbestos removalist.
WorkSafe requires not less than 24 hours notice if your project is under 10sqm.
The WorkSafe Notification will enable Work Safe if they chose, to visit your project to inspect our removal process to ensure that we are complying with all of the Occupational Health & Safety Regulations. A record of the work being completed will also be added to the WorkSafe database. This information will then be accessed should any of your neighbour’s contact WorkSafe during the removal process. They can be informed that the work is being conducted by a licensed contractor which will hopefully ease there anxiousness about the situation.
The Asbestos Regulations require that at the end of the removal process (if the amount of asbestos removed is above 10sqm) a visual inspection of the asbestos removal area should be performed by an independent person. This to verify that there is no asbestos residue remaining as a result of the removal work. The cost of this independent inspection is usually included in all quotes provided by SSM Asbestos Removal – This can be discussed further during the quoting process.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.
