From holiday shacks to family homes

Aspendale grew as a bayside holiday spot, and many of the modest cottages that once lined its streets were later extended into permanent homes. That history matters when you plan a renovation. Holiday houses built through the post-war years often used fibro sheeting because it was cheap and quick to put up, and owners kept adding sleepouts, laundries and carports in the same material right through to the early 1980s.

In older Aspendale homes we most often find asbestos cement in:

external cladding on rear additions and enclosed verandahs
eaves linings and soffits, especially on beach-facing homes
wet area wall sheets behind tiles
detached garages, sheds and old dividing fences

Salt air and decades of weather can make old sheeting brittle, so it pays to have it checked before anyone cuts, drills or pulls it down. Our asbestos inspection service tells you what is there and what condition it is in.

Typical work we do around the area

Most calls from this part of the City of Kingston are about knockdown rebuilds on original blocks, bathroom renovations in older fibro homes and the removal of tired back fences. For fences shared with a neighbour, we can talk both owners through the process. See our asbestos fence removal and asbestos bathroom removal pages for how these jobs run.

We are based just down the road in Chelsea Heights, so Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Edithvale and Mordialloc are all local work for us.

Before you start renovating

In Victoria, removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and any friable asbestos needs a Class A licence holder. Asbestos waste also has to be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site that is licensed to accept it, which is why it cannot go out with a council hard rubbish collection. If you are not sure whether a wall or eave is asbestos, book asbestos testing first and plan the rest of the job around the result.

A practical tip for bayside homes: when you get quotes from builders, ask each one how they plan to deal with any asbestos they find. A clear answer, such as testing first and bringing in a licensed removalist before demolition, is a good sign. If the answer is vague, it is worth sorting the asbestos out yourself as a separate job. That way the removal is done properly, the waste is tracked to a licensed site, and your renovation starts on a clean slate. We can also inspect sheds, bungalows and fences at the same visit, so every suspect material on the block is covered in one go rather than discovered piece by piece as the project moves along.

Getting an older Aspendale home ready to sell

If you are preparing an original Aspendale home for sale, a buyer’s building inspector will often flag fibro eaves, a fibro sleepout or an old shed as possible asbestos. Once that note is in a report, it can unsettle buyers who are not sure what it means or what it might take to fix.

Sorting it out before your sale campaign starts gives you more control. Depending on the property, that might mean:

testing a few suspect sheets so you can share clear results with buyers
removing a tired fence, carport or shed that would put buyers off
clearing a cracked fibro wall in the laundry or bathroom before you freshen up for photos

Our asbestos testing service suits owners who simply want answers, while asbestos disposal covers old offcuts and debris that have built up under the house or behind the garage over the years. Keep your results and paperwork together, as your agent can pass them on to interested buyers.

Asbestos removal in Aspendale: common questions

My Aspendale home is an old beach house with fibro walls. Is it safe to live in?

Asbestos cement sheeting that is intact, painted and left alone is generally considered low risk. The danger comes when it is broken, sanded, drilled or badly weathered and releases fibres. If your fibro is cracked or you plan to renovate, have it inspected so you know its condition and can plan removal safely.

Can you remove an asbestos fence I share with my neighbour in Aspendale?

Yes. Shared fences are common in Aspendale streets and we regularly remove them. It is best if both owners agree on the work and timing before we start. We remove the sheets under controlled conditions, wrap and label the waste, and dispose of it at a licensed facility so the new fence can go straight up.

Will asbestos in my Aspendale home affect a sale?

Asbestos is common in homes built before the mid 1980s, so many buyers expect it in an older Aspendale property. What tends to worry buyers is uncertainty. Having test results, an inspection report or records of past removal on hand lets your agent answer questions clearly. Some sellers also remove damaged items such as a broken fence or shed before listing, which can make the home easier to present.

Can I paint over the fibro eaves on my Aspendale home instead of removing them?

Painting intact fibro eaves can help seal the surface, and many owners do this. The key is preparation. Do not sand, scrape back or pressure wash the old sheets, as that can release fibres. If the eaves are cracked, sagging or water damaged, paint will not fix the problem and removal is usually the better option. Testing first confirms what you are dealing with.

What happens on the day of an asbestos removal at an Aspendale property?

The work area is set up and isolated, and signs go up so neighbours and passers-by know to keep clear. The material is kept damp to limit dust, removed in sheets as whole as possible, then wrapped and labelled. Once it is loaded for disposal at a licensed site, the area is cleaned. Where one is needed, we arrange an independent clearance inspection.
