Last week, we had About The House come and remove all the asbestos fibro eaves and gables from our house, and they were absolutely fantastic - we cant recommend them highly enough. Polite, friendly, highly competent, absolutely professional and amazing attention to detail. About The House have a consistent 5-star rating from many reviews on the Central Coast and they really deserve it. Sonny and the team were very thorough and careful in all their preparations and safety measures, not cutting corners just to make things easier or quicker. Sonny also really listened to and addressed our particular

John and his team just completed a big job at our investment property in Mt. Colah where the entire 2 layers of asbestos cladding in addition to the eaves were removed and disposed of. Communication was great and the job was completed ahead of schedule with the minimum of fuss. I can highly recommend About the House Asbestos Removals to anyone for any job, large or small.

We recently had the asbestos sheet removed from the external walls of our house and sort the services of About the House asbestos removal on recommendation of friends. Geoff, Phil and Adrian were professional, and completed the job quickly and efficiently and allayed any concerns we had throughout the process. I checked in regularly throughout the removal process and was impressed with the care taken to ensure that there was no risk to either my family or our neighbours. The job was spotless and I would highly recommend there services to anyone.
