Richard Ayres

From humble beginnings as an apprentice bricklayer, Richard first found his niche in the textured ceiling industry - specifically asbestos-based textures. After founding Texspec on the Sunshine Coast, Richard quickly became the go-to person for any textured ceiling work in South East Queensland, including removal and replacement.

Frequently coming across ACM (Asbestos Containing Material) in his work, asbestos testing and removal became a necessary skill and service; this lead Richard to launch Aspec - The Asbestos Specialists.

Aspec remains a trusted asbestos abatement company, providing asbestos testing, audits, management plans and more. Due to rapid growth, the asbestos arm of the business is now known as Zero ASBESTOS.

It wasn't long until Zero ASBESTOS outgrew its little shed in Warana! Today the business has a permanent office staff of 10-plus and a ground crew of 25 or more at any given time.

Chris Gauci

Chris moved from the UK to Australia specifically to work with Zero ASBESTOS as our Contracts Manager. With more than 15 years’ experience in the construction industry, dealing with all forms of asbestos, Chris is a key member of our team. He oversees all our projects, to ensure our clients’ needs are not only met but exceeded.

With his international experience and natural problem-solving ability, Chris plays a crucial role in our quest to boost awareness of asbestos and eradicate it from Australian buildings. He is able to provide expert technical advice to homeowners, businesses, councils and government bodies.

Milton Smith

With two decades of experience in building industry projects, our Business Development Officer/Estimator Milton Smith is an asset to the company. From his early construction days, Milton learned how to deal with all forms of asbestos testing and disposal and his knowledge is exceptional.

His excellent skill-set and positive attitude make Milton a strong member of our team and an integral team player in the future of our business.
