Why Parkdale renovations often start with testing

Parkdale is a quiet bayside suburb where many homes were built during the housing boom of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Brick veneer, weatherboard and fibro homes from those years were constructed when asbestos cement was one of the most common building materials in Australia. So when a Parkdale family plans a new bathroom, a kitchen upgrade or an extension, the first question is often whether the existing walls contain asbestos.

Our asbestos testing service answers that question. We take samples of suspect materials and have them analysed by a NATA accredited laboratory, so you know exactly what you are dealing with before any trades start work.

It is worth testing even if the house has been partly updated. Previous owners may have tiled over old sheeting or laid new flooring on top of vinyl tiles, which leaves the asbestos hidden underneath. Those layers are exactly what a renovator will disturb first.

Rooms and structures we see most

Bathrooms and laundries

Wet areas in older Parkdale homes were commonly lined with asbestos cement sheeting behind the tiles. We remove it in a controlled way through our asbestos bathroom removal service, so your renovator can start with a clean, safe room.

Ceilings and eaves

Flat sheet and textured ceilings, as well as eaves linings, are regular finds. Asbestos ceiling removal needs care, because working overhead increases the chance of fibres dropping.

Backyards

Fibro sheds, carports and fences are all common in the suburb, particularly on original post-war blocks. Weathered sheets close to the bay can become brittle over time. If a shed or fence is cracked, leaning or covered in lichen, it is a good time to plan its removal.

Local council and surrounding suburbs

Parkdale is within the City of Kingston, and we are based close by in Chelsea Heights. We also cover Mentone, Mordialloc, Cheltenham, Aspendale and Braeside. Asbestos cannot go out with council hard waste or in household bins. It must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site that is permitted to accept it, which we arrange for every job.

In Victoria, friable asbestos and more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos must be removed by a licensed removalist. Aussie Asbestos Solutions is fully licensed, EPA (Victoria) registered, Australian owned and has more than 10 years of experience. Get a free quote or call 0410 336 410.

Knockdown rebuilds in Parkdale

Parkdale’s older homes sit on blocks that suit a new house or a pair of townhouses, so knockdown rebuilds are common in the suburb. Before a demolition contractor can bring in machinery, any asbestos in the house, garage and sheds needs to be identified and removed. Leaving it in place risks crushing the sheets and contaminating the whole site.

A typical rebuild sequence looks like this:

An asbestos inspection to identify likely asbestos across the property
Removal of internal linings, eaves, roofs and outbuildings
Wrapping, labelling and disposal at a permitted site
Site clean up and a clearance certificate for your builder

Booking the asbestos work early keeps your project on track, because demolition usually cannot start until it is done. We can work to your builder’s program and talk directly with the demolition contractor. Our asbestos ceiling removal team handles overhead linings, one of the more careful parts of any pre-demolition job. Get a free quote for your Parkdale rebuild.

Asbestos removal in Parkdale: common questions

How long does asbestos testing take for a Parkdale bathroom renovation?

Sampling itself is usually quick, and results come back from the laboratory after analysis. Because the timing depends on the lab, it is best to test well before your renovator’s start date. Knowing early means removal can be booked straight away and your Parkdale bathroom project stays on schedule.

Are textured ceilings in Parkdale homes likely to contain asbestos?

Textured or sprayed ceiling finishes applied before the mid 1980s may contain asbestos, and some can be friable, which means they crumble easily. Friable asbestos must always be removed by a licensed Class A removalist. If your ceiling has a textured coating, avoid scraping it and have a sample tested first.

Does asbestos have to come out before I knock down my Parkdale house?

Yes. Asbestos should be identified and removed before demolition so it is not broken up and spread across the site. Your builder or demolition contractor will usually ask for this to be done, and for a clearance certificate, before machinery arrives. We can inspect the house, remove the asbestos and provide the paperwork once the site clean up is complete.

How do I tell my Parkdale neighbours about asbestos removal next door?

A short conversation or note before work starts is a good courtesy. Let them know the dates, that the removal is being done by a licensed team and that the work area will be contained. If a shared fibro fence is involved, agree on its removal first. We are happy to answer any questions your neighbours may have.

Can garden sheds and carports be cleared before a Parkdale rebuild?

Yes. Sheds, carports and pergolas are often cleared together with the house so the whole block is ready for the builder. We check each structure, remove any asbestos roofing or wall sheets, and take the waste to a permitted site. Doing everything in one visit is usually simpler than coming back later.
