What is Texspec Asbestos Removal?

Texspec Asbestos Removal is a Queensland-based asbestos removal company serving the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, with offices in both locations. It handles the full cycle of asbestos work — testing, removal, and replacement — and is the only company in Queensland, per its own site, that holds the licences required to remove asbestos textured ceilings and replace them with new non-asbestos textured ceilings. It's relevant to you if you're a homeowner, property manager, or builder in South East Queensland dealing with asbestos-containing materials, especially textured ceilings.

What Texspec does

The company describes its core services as:

• Asbestos testing — testing materials to confirm whether asbestos is present
• Asbestos removal — safe removal of asbestos-containing materials
• Asbestos replacement — full replacement sheeting, new roofs, and fences
• Waste handling — collection and dumping of asbestos waste
• Documentation — Asbestos Management Plans (AMPs) and Asbestos Inspection Reports (AIRs)

Beyond removal, Texspec positions itself as a replacement contractor: it states it can replace "just about anything asbestos," including roofs and fences.

Textured ceiling specialisation

Texspec's stated niche is textured, stippled, or popcorn/vermiculite ceilings. Its ceiling-related services include:

• Removing asbestos textured ceilings
• Re-texturing old ceilings
• Repairing damaged textured ceilings, including vermiculite
• Texturing new concrete ceilings
• Creating a painted smooth finish

This matters because textured ceilings are one of the more common asbestos-containing materials in older Queensland homes, and removal plus re-finishing usually requires both removal and finishing capability. Texspec claims to be the only Queensland company licensed for both halves of that job.

Licences and credentials

The site lists the following qualifications and registrations:

If you're verifying a contractor for a job, these licence numbers are the concrete items to check against the relevant Queensland registers.

Company background

• Locally owned — privately and Queensland owned
• Experience — the site states over 25 years in the industry, and elsewhere "almost 20 years" leading the Queensland asbestos industry
• Coverage — offices in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, with teams available Queensland-wide
• Positioning — describes itself as "family friendly"

How to decide if they fit your job

Texspec is a reasonable starting point if:

• Your property is on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane (or elsewhere in Queensland, since they state statewide availability)
• You need testing before you know whether removal is required
• You have a textured, stippled, popcorn, or vermiculite ceiling
• You want removal and replacement handled by one contractor rather than coordinating trades
• You need an AMP or AIR for a property or accommodation business

It may be less suited if your job is a small, single-material removal outside their service area, or if you specifically want a contractor who only does testing and assessment.

Getting a quote

The site's primary call to action is "Get a Quote Now," and it also links to a Curtin University mobile app (for Apple and Android) that helps homeowners assess whether they may have asbestos at home. The site does not publish pricing, so costs need to be obtained through a quote request.
