Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess eaves, soffits, gable ends, external wall panels and older awnings for fibre-cement sheeting profiles and ageing patterns consistent with asbestos-containing products, because these areas are frequently cut during gutter, fascia and lighting work.
We inspect accessible wall and ceiling linings in wet areas, including behind or around plumbing penetrations, as older fibre cement sheeting was commonly used in bathrooms and laundries and can release fibres when drilled for fittings or exhaust fans.
We look at older splashback sheets, backing boards and accessible substrates around cooktops and sinks, as renovations can disturb legacy sheet materials even when a newer surface has been installed over the top.
We check detached structures for older wall and roof sheeting, internal linings and door surrounds, because DIY storage upgrades in Bellfield often involve sanding, fixing or replacing deteriorated sheets.
We visually assess older fence panels and common outdoor elements such as pergola linings and planter boxes for suspected asbestos cement, as these can degrade outdoors and are often disturbed during landscaping or boundary repairs.
We identify signs of older vinyl tiles/sheet vinyl and typical underlay arrangements where asbestos may be present in backing or adhesives, because lifting floors during Bellfield cosmetic renovations can create unexpected disturbance.

In Bellfield, suspect asbestos is commonly found in external eaves and soffits, wet area wall/ceiling linings (bathroom and laundry), older garages and sheds, and some fencing and outdoor structures. Floor coverings such as older vinyl tiles or sheet vinyl can also be a concern due to backings or adhesives. A visual survey focuses on these typical locations and flags any damaged or high-risk areas.
A Visual Asbestos Survey is a non-invasive inspection that identifies materials that look consistent with asbestos-containing products. It does not confirm asbestos without sampling and laboratory analysis. If we find suspect materials in your Bellfield property, we’ll explain which items are higher priority for testing and advise on the safest next step, including engaging appropriate professionals for sampling and/or removal.
Yes. A visual asbestos survey is particularly useful before bathroom and kitchen work because renovations often involve cutting wall linings, removing splashbacks, lifting floors, and drilling for services. We’ll help you understand where suspect materials may be present and which areas should not be disturbed until they’re tested or managed correctly. This helps you plan trade access and reduce the risk of surprise delays.
Potentially, yes. Many Bellfield homes have been updated over time, but original sections can remain behind new finishes or alongside newer extensions. It’s also common to find older garages, eaves, fences or wet area linings still in place even after renovations. A visual survey checks accessible original and ancillary structures so you know what’s legacy material and what’s likely modern.
If suspect material is damaged, friable, or shedding, avoid touching it, restrict access where possible, and don’t vacuum or sweep debris. We’ll outline immediate risk-reduction steps and recommend the appropriate pathway, which may include confirmatory testing and engaging a licensed asbestos removalist for repair or removal. The right response depends on the material type, condition, and location within the property.
