Originally a bricklayer by trade, I have always searched for better opportunities and satisfaction in what I do, so with my trade certificate in hand I left my home country (New Zealand) and travelled to Australia in 1998 where I worked in various roles throughout the construction industry. Due to my previous experience I became the go-to person for textured ceilings in South East Queensland. Removal, replacement, patches and matching old textures was my specialty. These are still services we offer today through my first Australian company "Texspec - The textured Ceiling Specialists".In working with textured ceilings I often came across ACM (Asbestos Containing Material) within the textures so asbestos removal became part of my repertoire. As a result I founded another company - "Aspec - The Asbestos Specialists". Aspec was a widely respected asbestos abatement business responsible for all forms of asbestos testing, audits, management plans, removal & replacement, air monitoring, demolition, makesafe works and all other forms of remediation. With an A-Class asbestos licence the business was experiencing high demand and was continually expanding. Due to such rapid growth and an expanding level of service we decided that "Aspec" was a bit too hard for people to say, spell properly, and remember. We wanted our growing business to be synonymous with asbestos removal, so we re-branded it! The asbestos arm of our business is now known as Zero ASBESTOS and serves as a timely reminder that the only good asbestos is Zero ASBESTOS!Zero are the only A class licensed asbestos removalist in Queensland that are also licensed in the replacement of the textured ceilings!We are fully qualified, insured and are experienced in working on residential, commercial, industrial, Council and Government projects.For any advice or an obligation free quote call our friendly team on 1800 081 081 or email us on office@zeroasbestos.com.au.
