Residential and commercial asbestos removal in Cheltenham

Cheltenham is a busy mix of family homes, units, shops and light industrial sites. The residential streets are full of post-war weatherboards and 1960s and 1970s brick veneers, many of which are now being subdivided or replaced with townhouses. The commercial and industrial pockets have older factory and warehouse buildings with their own asbestos issues, particularly roofing and wall cladding.

Most of Cheltenham is in the City of Kingston, with a smaller part in the City of Bayside. Either way, the same Victorian rules apply to asbestos removal and disposal.

Typical Cheltenham jobs

Brick veneer renovations

Brick veneers built before the mid 1980s often have asbestos in the eaves, the bathroom and laundry wall sheets, and sometimes the ceilings of later additions. Updating one of these homes usually starts with our asbestos inspection so your builder knows exactly what to expect.

Subdivision and demolition

Before an older house comes down to make way for new units, asbestos should be identified and removed by a licensed team. We clear sheeting, flues, fences and roof sheets so demolition can go ahead.

Commercial roofs and walls

Older warehouses and workshops often have corrugated asbestos cement roofs and walls. Our asbestos roof removal and asbestos wall removal services cover both residential and commercial buildings, and we can plan work to limit disruption to your business.

Doing it the right way

Victoria requires a licensed removalist for more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos and for all friable asbestos. Waste must be securely wrapped, labelled and transported to a site licensed to receive it. Where a clearance inspection is needed at the end of the job, the site clean-up process allows a clearance certificate to be issued.

We also work across Highett, Mentone, Moorabbin and Heatherton.

For landlords and owners of units, it is also worth keeping an asbestos record for the property. Knowing which materials contain asbestos, and where they are, makes it easier to brief tradespeople, answer questions from tenants and plan maintenance such as re-roofing or replacing a heater. Our inspection service gives you a clear report you can keep on file. It is far simpler to manage asbestos that you know about than to deal with a surprise find part way through a job, when trades are booked and deadlines are already tight.

For businesses, an up to date understanding of asbestos in older buildings also helps when you are planning fit outs, repairs or changes to how a space is used. We can inspect factories, offices and shops as well as homes.

Upgrading heating and hot water in older Cheltenham homes

Many Cheltenham owners are replacing old gas space heaters, ducted units and hot water systems with electric options such as reverse cycle air conditioners and heat pumps. It is a common upgrade in the brick veneers and weatherboards of the area, and it often uncovers asbestos that has sat quietly in the roof space for decades.

Older gas appliances were commonly vented through asbestos cement flue pipes, and some were mounted against fibro sheeting. When the old appliance comes out, those items need to be handled properly rather than cut up or snapped off. Before your upgrade:

ask your installer whether the old flue will be removed or left in place
have any suspect flue, backing sheet or wall lining tested before work starts
book removal ahead of the installation so the installer is not held up

Our asbestos flue removal service is built for exactly this kind of job, and asbestos testing can confirm what you have first. Get a free quote and we can work in with your heating or hot water installer.

Asbestos removal in Cheltenham: common questions

I am subdividing a block in Cheltenham. When should asbestos be removed?

Asbestos should be identified and removed before the existing house is demolished. Getting an inspection done early lets your builder schedule licensed removal as the first stage of site works, so the demolition crew can then treat the remaining materials as ordinary building waste. It also avoids delays once your build is underway.

Can you remove asbestos from a working warehouse in Cheltenham?

Yes. We carry out commercial asbestos removal and can plan the job around your operations, such as working in sections or outside normal trading times. The work area is isolated, the asbestos is removed under controlled conditions, and waste is taken to a licensed facility. We can work to suit business schedules.

Does the old gas heater flue in my Cheltenham home contain asbestos?

It might. Many gas space heaters and hot water units installed before the mid 1980s used asbestos cement flue pipes, which usually look like grey cement tubes running up into the roof. You cannot confirm it by sight alone. A sample can be tested, or an inspection can check the flue along with any backing sheets. Avoid cutting or breaking the pipe in the meantime.

Can my heating installer remove the asbestos flue in my Cheltenham home?

Small amounts of non-friable asbestos can be removed without a licence in Victoria, but the work still has to be done safely and the waste disposed of at a licensed site. Many installers prefer to leave an old flue for an asbestos removalist, particularly if it is damaged. Booking removal as a separate step before the new system goes in keeps things simple.

Can solar panels go on an asbestos roof in Cheltenham?

Fitting solar panels involves drilling into the roof and walking on it, which can crack asbestos cement sheets and release fibres. Many solar installers will not work on an asbestos roof for that reason. If a garage, shed or factory roof is asbestos cement, the usual approach is to have it tested and, if needed, removed and replaced before any panels are installed.
