Professional Cleaning Services and Safe Hazardous Materials Removal for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Properties

From specialist industrial cleaning and hazardous waste management through to lead-based paint removal, mould remediation and soft strip demolition, ARL Solutions provides a complete range of cleaning and remediation services for residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Every project is carefully planned with strict health and safety procedures, specialist equipment and compliant disposal methods helping protect people, property and the environment. Our experienced team works with homeowners, builders, project managers, property owners and businesses to deliver safe, reliable solutions across a wide range of cleaning, remediation and hazardous materials projects.

Safe Hazardous Materials Removal

Hazardous materials require specialist handling to protect everyone involved. Every project is carefully assessed before work begins, with site-specific health and safety plans, procedures and risk management systems developed for the type of hazardous material being removed.
ARL Solutions specialises in the safe removal of:
  • Lead-based paint
  • Mould contamination
  • HAZMAT (hazardous materials)
  • Hazardous waste
  • Residential, commercial and industrial demolition waste
Containment systems are installed to prevent hazardous dust, debris or spores from escaping during the removal process. This may include fully enclosed work areas, negative pressure units and HEPA-filtered extraction systems to help maintain a safe environment throughout the project.

Lead-Based Paint Removal

Older homes and commercial buildings may contain lead-based paint that poses serious health risks when disturbed during renovations or demolition.
ARL Solutions can arrange testing before work begins, with samples sent to accredited laboratories to confirm the presence of lead. Once identified, the team carefully contains the work area before removing contaminated materials using safe industry procedures that eliminate the spread of lead dust.
Depending on the project, disposal documentation and clearance records can also be provided.

Professional Mould Removal

Mould contamination often extends far beyond what is visible on the surface. Hidden moisture problems inside walls, ceilings and flooring can allow mould to spread throughout a building. ARL Solutions can arrange mould testing where required, helping identify mould contamination both on surfaces and in the air. In severe cases, mould is obvious without testing, allowing work to begin immediately.
Using techniques similar to asbestos removal, contaminated areas can be fully enclosed while negative pressure units and HEPA filtration systems safely contain airborne mould spores throughout the removal process.
Porous building materials that have absorbed mould contamination are removed and disposed of safely, while remaining structural elements are professionally treated to eliminate remaining mould spores wherever possible.
Following removal, ARL Solutions can work alongside builders and renovators to help ensure moisture issues have been addressed before rebuilding begins.

ARL Solutions works across residential and commercial premises, and industrial facilities on a range of specialist cleaning services and site cleanups including:
  • Industrial machinery cleaning

Every project is completed using appropriate safety procedures. Waste is disposed of through licensed hazardous waste facilities as required.

Internal Soft Strip Demolition

ARL Solutions provides manual soft strip demolition services for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The team specialises in the removal of non-structural building elements, making properties ready for refurbishment, remediation or redevelopment. Utilities are safely disconnected before demolition begins where required.
ARL Solutions also undertakes small consent-exempt demolition projects.
Services include removing:
  • Internal wall linings
  • Non-structural internal walls
  • Suspended ceilings
  • Flooring, including carpet, vinyl, tiles and timber
  • Concrete coatings
  • Fixtures and fittings
  • Mechanical services
  • Electrical fittings
  • Plumbing fixtures
Where practical, demolition materials are sorted for recycling to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact, with remaining waste disposed of through appropriate licensed facilities.

Frequently asked questions

Many hazardous materials cannot be identified by sight alone.

Lead-based paint is typically confirmed through laboratory testing, while mould may require air quality testing, moisture investigations or a detailed site inspection. Hazardous materials are also commonly identified during pre-demolition surveys, refurbishment assessments or building inspections.

If you're unsure whether your property contains hazardous materials, ARL Solutions can provide guidance on the most appropriate testing and inspection process.

It depends on the type of hazardous material and the work being carried out. ARL Solutions will provide clear advice before work begins and let you know whether temporary relocation is recommended.

Hazardous waste is transported to accredited, licensed disposal facilities that are approved to handle the specific type of hazardous material being removed.

Yes. Depending on the project, ARL Solutions can provide disposal records and clearance documentation where required.
