What Asbestos Services Does Texspec Asbestos Removal Offer?

Updated

Texspec Asbestos Removal is a Queensland-based asbestos company serving the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, with offices in both locations. According to its website, the company offers testing, removal, and replacement of asbestos-containing materials, and it states it is the only company in Queensland holding the licences required to remove asbestos textured ceilings and replace them with new non-asbestos textured ceilings. If your project involves a textured, stippled, popcorn, or vermiculite ceiling, or you need asbestos identified before renovation or demolition, Texspec's listed services are directly relevant.

Core asbestos services

The website lists five main service activities:

  • Test materials for asbestos — identifying whether a material contains asbestos before work begins.
  • Remove asbestos — physical removal of asbestos-containing materials.
  • Replace asbestos — installing new sheeting, roofs, or fences in place of removed asbestos materials.
  • Collect and dump asbestos — handling and disposal of asbestos waste.
  • Provide AMPs (Asbestos Management Plans) and AIRs (Asbestos Inspection Reports) — documentation for managing or reporting on asbestos in a property.

The company describes itself as more than a removal business, offering full replacement of sheeting, new roofs, and fences — "we can replace just about anything asbestos."

Textured ceiling specialisation

A significant part of Texspec's stated work is ceilings. Its listed specialities include:

  • Texture new concrete ceilings
  • Re-texture old ceilings
  • Remove asbestos textured ceilings
  • Repair damaged textured ceilings, including vermiculite
  • Set ceilings to create a painted smooth look

The company claims to be the only Queensland company with the licences needed to both remove asbestos textured ceilings and install new non-asbestos textured ceilings — a useful point if you want one contractor for removal and the finished ceiling rather than coordinating two trades.

Testing and documentation

Before removal, materials generally need to be confirmed as asbestos-containing. Texspec lists asbestos testing as a service, along with two document types:

Service What it provides
Asbestos Testing Confirms whether a material contains asbestos
AMP (Asbestos Management Plan) A plan for managing asbestos in a property
AIR (Asbestos Inspection Report) A report on asbestos identified during inspection

These are relevant for property managers, owners, and trades who need records rather than just removal work.

Licences and credentials

The website lists the following qualifications and licences:

  • Building Services Authority (BSA) Licence – 1111495
  • A Class Asbestos Removal Licence – 2230651
  • EPA Licence to transport asbestos waste – ENRE0080460
  • BAS registration
  • QBCC licence, including a 4801 Safety Standard PQC qualification
  • Membership of the Queensland Master Builders Association
  • Full public liability and workers compensation insurance
  • Accredited Contractor for Trades Monitor
  • Preferred Supplier for the Accommodation Industry

The company also states it has over 25 years in the industry (elsewhere on the page it says "almost 20 years"), is privately and locally Queensland owned, and has teams available Queensland-wide from its Brisbane and Sunshine Coast offices.

Who this suits

Texspec's service range fits property owners, buyers, or managers in the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane areas who need asbestos identified, removed, and replaced — particularly where textured ceilings are involved, or where an AMP or AIR is required. The site provides a "Get a Quote" option for pricing; no prices are published, so costs depend on the scope of your job. For general guidance on identifying asbestos at home, the page also links to a mobile app from Curtin University for Apple and Android.
