Buying a Home or a New Homeowner?

Home»Buying a Home
If you’ve recently purchased a home—or you’re in the process of buying—and are concerned about the presence of asbestos, you’re not alone. Many Australian homes built before the late 1980s may contain asbestos in areas like walls, ceilings, eaves, flooring, and more. Knowing whether your property contains asbestos is the first step.

Step 1: Was Your Home Built Before 1990?

Asbestos was widely used in Australian homes until it was phased out in the mid-1980s and completely banned in 2003. If your home was built before 1990, there’s a high chance asbestos containing materials were used in its construction.

Step 2: Arrange Professional Asbestos Testing

Before any removal work can begin, you’ll need to confirm the presence and type of asbestos. We recommend using a licensed asbestos testing service to inspect your property and provide a detailed report. If you don’t know where to start, we’re happy to refer you to trusted, accredited asbestos testing provider.

A standard building and pest inspection won’t always identify asbestos in your home. These reports are often visual and don’t involve material sampling.

We recommend a specific asbestos audit conducted by a licensed professional to confirm where asbestos is present.

Step 3: Send Us Your Asbestos Report

Once your home has been tested, simply send us the report. Our team will review the findings and provide you with a free, fast quote for safe and professional asbestos removal.
