EnglishWhat Licences and Qualifications Does Texspec Asbestos Removal Hold?
Updated
Texspec Asbestos Removal holds a set of Queensland licences covering asbestos removal, waste transport and building work, plus trade memberships and insurance. According to its website, these include an A Class Asbestos Removal Licence (2230651), an EPA Licence to transport asbestos waste (ENRE0080460), a Building Services Authority (BSA) Licence (1111495) and QBCC registration. If you are comparing asbestos removalists on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane, these are the credentials to check first.
Licences listed by Texspec
| Licence or registration | Number / detail | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| A Class Asbestos Removal Licence | 2230651 | Asbestos removal work |
| EPA Licence to transport asbestos waste | ENRE0080460 | Transporting asbestos waste |
| Building Services Authority (BSA) Licence | 1111495 | Building services work |
| QBCC registration | Listed as held | Queensland building and construction contractor registration |
| BAS registration | Listed as held | Building and construction registration |
The A Class licence matters most for friable asbestos work, which is the higher-risk category. The EPA transport licence is a separate approval from the removal licence, so a company can legally remove asbestos without necessarily being licensed to move the waste — Texspec states it holds both.
Qualifications, standards and memberships
Beyond the licences, Texspec lists the following industry credentials:
- 4801 Safety Standard PQC Qualification
- Membership of the Queensland Master Builders Association
- Accredited Contractor for Trades Monitor
- Preferred Supplier for the Accommodation Industry
- Full insurance in Public Liability and Workers Compensation
- Privately and locally Queensland owned
The site also states Texspec has over 25 years of experience in the industry, and elsewhere describes itself as leading the Queensland asbestos industry for almost 20 years. Both figures appear on the same page, so treat the exact number of years as approximate.
Why the licence set matters when choosing a removalist
Queensland asbestos work is regulated at several points, and each licence answers a different question:
- Can they legally remove the asbestos? — the A Class Asbestos Removal Licence.
- Can they legally take the waste away? — the EPA transport licence.
- Can they do the replacement building work? — BSA licence and QBCC registration.
- Are they insured if something goes wrong? — public liability and workers compensation cover.
A company that only holds a removal licence may need to subcontract waste transport or the replacement sheeting and roofing work. Texspec states it handles removal, replacement sheeting, new roofs and fences itself.
A claim worth verifying directly
Texspec 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. That is a specific, checkable claim. If textured ceiling replacement is your job, ask for the licence numbers and confirm them with the relevant Queensland regulator before engaging anyone — including Texspec.
Practical checks before you book
- Ask for the licence numbers in writing and match them against the ones above.
- Confirm the licence class covers your material — friable (e.g. some sprayed coatings and insulation) versus non-friable (e.g. flat sheeting, fences).
- Ask who transports the waste and under which EPA licence.
- Request a certificate of currency for public liability and workers compensation.
- For textured ceiling work, ask specifically which licence authorises the replacement of the texture, not just the removal.
Texspec operates offices in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and states its teams are available Queensland-wide. The site offers a quote request form and links to a Curtin University mobile app for identifying asbestos-containing material at home.
