Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess exterior wall sheets, eaves linings and soffits for common asbestos-cement profiles, joints and fixings. These areas are frequently disturbed during gutter work, painting and roofline repairs, so identifying suspect materials helps you plan safe maintenance.
We look for asbestos-cement roof sheeting on garages and lean-tos, plus older fencing panels that may be asbestos-cement. We note cracking, weathering and previous patching because deterioration increases the chance of fibre release if the material is broken or pressure-cleaned.
Bathrooms, laundries and toilets in pre-1990 homes can include asbestos cement sheet behind tiles or as wall/ceiling linings. We inspect accessible edges, penetrations and renovation interfaces to flag likely asbestos where future re-tiling or plumbing work could disturb it.
We check older sheet vinyl, vinyl tiles and adhesive residues for indicators associated with asbestos-containing backing or mastics. This is important before floor sanding, grinding, or lifting layers during a kitchen or hallway update.
Outbuildings in Mooroolbark are commonly upgraded or partially repaired over decades. We visually inspect wall sheets, ceilings, internal linings and old service panels to identify suspect asbestos-cement products that are often overlooked in a pre-purchase walkthrough.
For each suspected material, we record its condition (intact, damaged, friable-looking, previously cut) and likely disturbance risks. This supports safer planning for trades, renovation sequencing, and decisions about encapsulation, testing, or removal.

In Mooroolbark, we often see suspected asbestos-cement products used in eaves/soffits, external wall sheets on older extensions, and in garages or sheds. Wet areas can also hide asbestos cement sheet behind tiles. Older vinyl flooring systems may include asbestos in backing or adhesives. A visual survey helps identify likely locations so you can plan safe next steps.
No. A visual asbestos survey identifies materials that look consistent with asbestos-containing products and records their locations and condition. Confirmation requires laboratory testing of a sample, collected and handled correctly. If our findings suggest higher risk or you’re planning to disturb a material, we’ll recommend the most sensible next step, which may include engaging appropriate professionals for testing or removal.
Yes, especially if the property was built or last renovated before 1990. Renovation tasks like removing tiles, replacing eaves, lifting flooring, or altering a garage are common ways asbestos is accidentally disturbed. A visual survey helps you identify suspect materials early, so you can change the scope of works, use safer methods, and involve licensed specialists where required.
They can be. Detached structures in Mooroolbark are often added over time, and older fibro wall or roof sheets are a frequent source of suspected asbestos. Because sheds and carports are exposed to weather, sheets may be cracked or deteriorated, increasing risk if handled incorrectly. A visual survey flags suspect materials and condition so you can budget and plan safely.
You’ll receive a clear summary of suspected asbestos-containing materials found in accessible areas, including their locations and a note on condition and disturbance risk. We also outline practical next steps, such as when to avoid disturbing a material, when to consider encapsulation or repair, and when to seek laboratory confirmation or licensed asbestos advice before starting works.
