Safety Focused
Responsible Work Every Step
We follow national codes of practice, OH&S requirements and EPA rules to keep each job compliant. Waste is double bagged, labelled and transported to an approved landfill using an EPA-permitted vehicle. Once removal and cleaning are complete, an independent assessor carries out a clearance inspection to confirm the site is safe. This final check gives peace of mind before renovations or repairs continue.
If you need guidance about older building materials, we are here to help. Reach out to discuss the safest way to move forward.
FAQ
Why is asbestos common in Wangaratta homes?
Many Wangaratta homes were built during decades when asbestos products were widely used in walls, ceilings, roofing and wet areas. Over time these materials can deteriorate or become exposed during renovations. Because asbestos often looks similar to everyday building products, it is not always easy to identify. A licensed inspection is normally the safest way to determine what you are dealing with before any work begins.
What happens when asbestos is found during a renovation?
If asbestos is discovered mid project, work in that area usually stops until it can be assessed and removed safely. The affected section is isolated to prevent dust and fibres spreading to other rooms. Once it is removed and the area is cleaned, renovation work can continue without risking anyone’s safety. This approach helps keep the project moving while protecting everyone involved.
How is asbestos waste handled after removal?
Removed materials are sealed in approved containers or bags designed to prevent fibre release. They are then transported to a licensed disposal facility where they can be safely processed. This ensures asbestos never enters general landfill or household waste streams. Responsible disposal is a key part of keeping the process safe from start to finish.
Can asbestos be present even if the building looks modern?
Yes, some properties that appear modern may still contain asbestos if older extensions or materials remain underneath newer layers. Homes with renovations completed before the mid 2000s may also have asbestos in hidden sections. When in doubt, testing is usually the safest way to confirm what materials are present. This helps prevent accidental exposure during maintenance or future building work.
