1. How do I know if my house would contain asbestos containing building materials?

If your home was built or renovated before 1990, there’s a strong chance it contains asbestos. It was commonly used in roofing, wall linings, flooring, fencing, and bathrooms. Because asbestos can’t be identified by sight alone, the safest way to know for sure is to arrange professional testing. Our team can take samples and have them analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory to confirm whether asbestos is present.

2. Is it safe for me to remove asbestos inside my home?

No. Attempting to remove asbestos yourself is dangerous and often illegal without the proper licence. When asbestos materials are disturbed, harmful fibres can be released into the air and inhaled, creating serious health risks. Only licensed professionals with the right training, equipment, and disposal procedures should carry out asbestos removal.

3. Do I need to vacate the property while the asbestos is being removed?

taking place, especially when work is being done inside the home. Our team sets up containment systems, uses specialised equipment, and follows strict safety procedures to control exposure. Once the area has been cleared, cleaned, and tested, it’s safe to return.

What is the difference between friable asbestos and bonded asbestos?

  • Friable asbestos is asbestos that can be easily crumbled or reduced to powder when dry, meaning fibres can be released into the air more easily. This type is considered highly dangerous and requires a Class A licensed professional to remove.
  • Bonded asbestos is asbestos mixed with other materials, such as cement sheets or vinyl flooring. While less likely to release fibres if undisturbed, it still poses risks when cut, sanded, drilled, or damaged. Both types should only be handled by licensed professionals.

5. How can I get asbestos tested?

The only way to confirm asbestos is through laboratory testing. Our licensed team can safely take samples from your property and send them to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis. You’ll receive a detailed report confirming whether asbestos is present and what type it is. From there, we can advise on safe removal and management options.
