Kingsville has plenty of pre-1990 houses and upgraded rentals where older eaves, wet-area linings and backyard sheds can still contain asbestos—especially when renovations expose hidden materials.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess external wall sheeting, gable ends, eaves and soffits for common asbestos-cement profiles and deterioration. These areas are frequently disturbed during painting, roof plumbing and fascia repairs, so condition and accessibility matter.
We inspect accessible wall and ceiling linings in wet areas where asbestos sheeting was historically used for moisture resistance. We look for cracks, drilling, or water damage that can increase risk if trades start removing tiles or fixtures.
Kingsville backyards often include older garages, sheds or lean-tos with fibro-style walls and roofs. We identify suspect sheets, note damaged edges, and highlight areas likely to be disturbed by storage changes, electrical work or demolition.
We check for older asbestos-cement fencing panels and related fixings. Fences can weather and crumble over time, and they’re commonly impacted by landscaping, replacement works and neighbouring repairs.
Where accessible, we look for older resilient flooring types and signs of legacy underlay or adhesive residues that may be associated with asbestos-containing products. This is important before sanding floors, removing vinyl, or changing floor finishes.
For each suspect material, we record location, surface condition and likely disturbance points. We then recommend practical controls such as leaving intact materials alone, sealing/encapsulating, or arranging NATA-accredited laboratory testing and licensed removal if confirmation is needed.

Many Kingsville homes built or updated before 1990 can still contain asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, wet areas, garages, sheds and fences. Renovations often expose or disturb these materials during demolition, sanding, drilling and tiling. A Visual Asbestos Survey identifies likely asbestos locations and their condition so you can plan testing or licensed removal before work begins and avoid unnecessary exposure or project delays.
A visual survey identifies materials that look consistent with asbestos-containing products and assesses their condition and risk. It does not chemically confirm asbestos. If you need certainty—especially before removal or demolition—sampling and analysis by a NATA-accredited laboratory is the appropriate next step. We can advise which items are most suitable for testing and how to manage them safely in the meantime.
We focus on accessible areas where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in pre-1990 buildings: eaves and soffits, external cladding, wet-area linings, older floor coverings and underlays (where visible), roofs or wall sheets on garages and sheds, and older fencing panels. We also note any damage, weathering or past disturbance that may increase the risk of fibre release during maintenance.
Yes. Renovations often replace the most visible rooms while leaving older materials in outbuildings, eaves, laundries, toilets or fences. Older sheds and garages are common places for asbestos-cement sheeting, and they’re frequently disturbed during storage clean-outs, electrical work or demolition. A Visual Asbestos Survey helps you separate newer materials from legacy components and decide what needs testing or controlled management.
If suspect materials are intact and not likely to be disturbed, the safest option is often to leave them in place and manage them—avoid drilling or sanding, keep surfaces sealed, and monitor for damage. If future works are planned, consider testing to confirm asbestos and then organise appropriate controls such as encapsulation or licensed removal. We outline practical next steps based on location, condition and your plans.
