Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess eaves linings, gable ends and other exterior sheeted areas for material type, age indicators and deterioration. These are common spots for older fibro products and can be disturbed during repainting, gutter work or eave replacement.
We inspect accessible internal and external linings to outbuildings, including wall and ceiling sheets, to identify materials consistent with asbestos cement. These structures are often older than the main house or built using leftover sheeting.
Where accessible and safe to view, we look at bathrooms, laundries and toilets for older wall and ceiling linings that may have been installed prior to modern plasterboard. Wet-area refurbishments commonly disturb these surfaces.
We check visible vinyl tiles/sheeting edges and any accessible underlay or backing (where already exposed) for signs consistent with asbestos-containing products. Floor prep, sanding and adhesive removal are high-risk activities if ACMs are present.
We visually review older fence panels and infill sheets that may be asbestos cement, particularly where panels are weathered, cracked or previously cut. Boundary works can create exposure risks for occupants and neighbours if not managed correctly.
For each suspect material, we note its condition (intact, weathered, damaged) and likely disturbance pathways (drilling, cutting, removal). This helps you prioritise what needs specialist advice or controls before any work starts.

In Narre Warren East, we often see suspect asbestos-containing materials in external cement sheeting such as eaves and gable linings, older garages and sheds, and sometimes in wet-area wall/ceiling linings. Older vinyl floor tiles or sheet vinyl backing can also be a concern. A visual survey checks accessible areas and highlights any materials that match common asbestos-era products.
A visual survey is a strong first step for planning because it flags materials that look consistent with asbestos. However, asbestos can’t be confirmed by sight alone in many cases. If your project involves cutting, sanding, removing sheeting or floor coverings, you should treat suspect materials as asbestos until testing or specialist advice confirms otherwise. We’ll guide you on sensible next steps for your scope of work.
No. This is a visual-only asbestos survey, which means we do not cut, scrape, or remove material for sampling. Sampling can release fibres if it’s not done correctly and must be managed carefully. If we identify a material that needs confirmation, we’ll explain why and recommend appropriate options, such as laboratory testing arranged through a suitably qualified provider or engaging a licensed asbestos professional.
It’s worth checking before you repair, replace or dispose of materials. Older fence infill panels and garage wall/ceiling sheets can be asbestos cement, especially if they’re brittle, cracked, or have been previously cut. A visual survey helps you identify which components may be ACMs and whether condition suggests a higher disturbance risk, so you can plan safe removal, encapsulation, or leave-in-place strategies.
We’ll document the location and the observed features that make it suspect, note its condition, and explain the practical risk based on likely disturbance. You’ll receive recommendations on controls, such as avoiding drilling or sanding, and guidance on next steps if you need certainty—typically laboratory testing or engaging a licensed asbestos removalist. The aim is to help you make safe decisions before work starts.
