What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
1st Choice Asbestos Removal's Sydney reviewers describe quotes turned around within hours and crews arriving on time to carry out the work, including a factory roof recovery credited to James and a long-standing arrangement with one construction company that has used the crew for years.
One reviewer mentions the team organising an inspector to attend straight after the removal so a clearance certificate could be issued without delay. The consistent thread across the sample is a clean site handed back and clear communication throughout the job.

Awesome service very clean. job was carried out to the highest standard. Would definitely recommend
I recently used 1st Choice Asbestos Removal for a factory roof recovery. From the quote to the completion of job 1st Choice were on time, courteous and very professional. A special thankyou to James who went out of his way to complete the job within a set time frame. Thank you, great effort.
Easy to work with & did a great job. Have used multiple times and have always been happy with the result.
We found 1st Choice Asbestos Removal to be very efficient and speedy. Their team worked well together, communicated well and responded to all enquiries in a timely manner. They left the job site clean and they also organised an Asbestos inspector to visit the site, and he was able to immediately issue a clearance certificate. No hesitation in recommending this asbestos removal company.
Great customer service and did a fantastic job.
5 Star service. Easy to deal with and fantastic crew on site. On time and meticulous. Happy Roseville resident.
Great experience for 1st timer removing asbestos which can be daunting. Cannot recommend 1st Choice Asbestos Removal more highly if you are in the market. I had researched online before approaching for quotes re estimated costs in Sydney, how to identify a good, licensed company etc. 1st Choice ticked all my boxes coming out to visually inspect for quote & coming in line with projected estimates. I had other quotes, with one company prepared to match price when not inspecting themselves. Why did I select 1st Choice? they were extremely professional, honest (what was quoted was the invoice, no hidden costs), advised me upfront of the process they would undertake with notifying neighbors, the assessor & certificate at the end & what would happen on the day etc. I valued Pat going that extra mile at the quoting stage. My questions were answered promptly before accepting the quote, the back-office team were very supportive. On the day, Jamie & the team were on time, professional, efficient & tidy. Great Job, thanks to all…very happy.
