Asbestos fence removal in Perth costs from around $1,200 for a short run, with most standard boundary fences falling between $2,000 and $3,500. Price is driven by fence length, access for machinery, the condition of the sheeting, and whether fragments have broken into the soil. Most single-fence jobs are completed in half a day including disposal.

Pricing by the Metre and by the Panel
Perth Asbestos Removals quotes Super Six fence removal by length and condition, and every figure below sits within the bands on our asbestos removal cost guide. As a rule of thumb, expect roughly $55–$100 per linear metre, or $60–$110 per panel, for a bonded asbestos cement fence in fair condition with reasonable access — always quoted on site.
Super Six fencing is bonded chrysotile asbestos cement. Under WorkSafe WA regulations, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos requires at least a Class B licence, and a full fence line in pre-1990 suburbs like Gosnells, Armadale or Balga is well past that threshold. All removal work is carried out by Class A and Class B licensed removalists.
What Pushes a Fence Quote Up
Rear-lane or hand-carry access adds labour time because sheets must be carried out wrapped rather than loaded directly. Brittle, fire-damaged or storm-cracked sheeting has to be handled more slowly to avoid fibre release. Buried fragments in the soil line, asbestos capping, embedded posts, and removing concrete footings each add cost — as does a soil clearance where fragments have contaminated garden beds.
Included vs Excluded in a Typical Quote
A compliant quote includes wet-down removal, 200-micron plastic double wrapping, transport and tipping at a licensed facility such as Red Hill Waste Management Facility, and disposal receipts. A Colorbond replacement fence is priced separately by a fencing contractor and usually arranged as a follow-on job.
Shared Fences and the Cheap-Quote Trap
If the fence sits on a shared boundary, the Dividing Fences Act generally splits the cost of a dividing fence between neighbours. Get agreement in writing before work starts — in established suburbs like Fremantle and Bassendean, most shared Super Six jobs are settled 50/50.
Be wary of unlicensed cash quotes. A Beckenham sole trader was fined $10,000 plus costs for unlicensed asbestos fence removal, and owners can be pursued when illegally dumped sheets are traced back to their property. Correct asbestos disposal is part of the real price. Read more about the removal process on our asbestos fence removal page.
