Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess external wall cladding, eaves, soffits and gable ends for asbestos cement profiles and weathering that can increase friability. These areas are frequently disturbed during repainting, gutter replacement and re-roofing, so identifying them early reduces the chance of accidental drilling or cutting.
We inspect accessible areas around the roofline and outbuildings such as sheds, studios and garages for asbestos cement sheet, old ridge capping products and legacy linings. Wonga Park blocks often include multiple structures, so the survey looks beyond the main dwelling where asbestos is commonly overlooked.
We check visible wall and ceiling linings in wet areas where asbestos cement sheeting was historically used for moisture resistance. We also note any renovations that may have left older sheeting behind newer tiles or fittings, which is a common discovery during bathroom updates.
We visually assess older resilient flooring and exposed edges where possible for products that can contain asbestos (for example, some older vinyl tiles and mastics). Flooring removal is a high-disturbance activity, so this feature helps you decide when you need testing before ripping up materials.
We look at accessible garage linings, meter-box surrounds, older fence panels and service enclosures where fibro sheets were commonly used. These areas often get modified for electrical upgrades, storage fit-outs or fencing repairs—tasks that can release fibres if asbestos is present.
We photograph suspect materials, record locations, and provide practical guidance on managing them safely—whether that’s leaving intact materials undisturbed, engaging a licensed asbestos assessor for sampling, or planning removal by an appropriately qualified asbestos removalist before refurbishment work.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Wonga Park, we often see higher likelihood around external cladding and eaves, wet-area linings, older garages and separate sheds. Larger blocks can include multiple older structures built at different times, so asbestos may be present in one building but not another. A visual asbestos survey focuses on accessible surfaces and typical asbestos product locations to help you identify what needs care before any work starts.
A visual survey is a strong first step because it highlights materials that look consistent with asbestos-containing products and shows where disturbance risk is highest. However, visual checks cannot confirm asbestos in all cases. If you plan to remove, cut or drill suspect materials, targeted sampling and laboratory testing is the safest way to confirm. We’ll outline where testing is most worthwhile based on what we see.
This service is visual only. We inspect accessible areas, document suspect materials and provide risk-focused recommendations, but we don’t take samples as part of the visual survey. If confirmation is needed, we can guide you on the next steps, including arranging sampling by an appropriately qualified professional and laboratory analysis before refurbishment, demolition or removal works proceed.
Mixed-era structures are common in Wonga Park, and they can hide asbestos in the “older” parts while newer materials sit right alongside. Sheds and garages are frequent locations for asbestos cement sheeting, and extensions sometimes cover older external walls or eaves that remain in place. During the survey, we check each accessible structure separately, note transitions between old and new, and flag where disturbance is most likely.
If a material is likely to contain asbestos, the safest approach is to leave it undisturbed until you have a clear plan. Avoid sanding, cutting, pressure washing or drilling. If you need to remove or alter it, arrange confirmation testing where appropriate and engage an appropriately qualified asbestos removalist for any removal work. We’ll document the location and provide practical next steps based on condition and planned works.
