Post-war homes and industrial buildings in Moorabbin

Moorabbin sits in the City of Kingston and is well known for the housing built after World War II. Much of it is detached red or cream brick homes from the 1940s to the 1970s, with villa units and townhouses added more recently. The eastern side of the suburb developed as an industrial area from the mid 1960s, and it is still home to factories, warehouses and trade businesses.

Because so much of Moorabbin was built during the years asbestos products were common, it is a regular find. In homes we often see it in:

eaves linings on brick veneer and solid brick houses
bathroom, laundry and kitchen wall sheets
flues from old gas heaters and hot water units
garages, carports and backyard sheds

In commercial and industrial buildings it can appear in corrugated roof sheeting, wall cladding, internal partitions and around old plant rooms.

Typical jobs around Moorabbin

Homeowners usually call us before a kitchen or bathroom update, or when an old heater is being replaced. Business owners tend to call before a fit out, a roof replacement or the sale of a property. See our asbestos kitchen removal and commercial asbestos removal pages for more detail.

Council and disposal rules

Asbestos cannot be placed in household bins or put out for hard rubbish. In Victoria it must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site licensed or permitted to accept asbestos waste. Removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, or any friable asbestos, needs a licensed removalist. Our asbestos disposal service handles this for you.

Practical advice

If you manage or lease a workplace built before the mid 1980s, find out whether an asbestos register already exists for the building. It will tell you where known asbestos is and save time when planning work. For homes, have suspect sheeting tested before any trade cuts or drills into it.

Asbestos in Moorabbin’s factories and warehouses

Moorabbin’s industrial area has been operating since the 1960s, which means many of its buildings went up while asbestos cement was a standard building material. Roof sheets, wall cladding, eaves and internal linings in these buildings may contain it, especially where they have not been replaced.

Under Victorian workplace rules, those who manage or control a workplace built before 2003 generally need to identify asbestos and keep a register. Before a fit out, a roof replacement or demolition, that information becomes essential. We can carry out an asbestos inspection, then plan commercial asbestos removal around your business hours where possible, so the rest of the site can keep running.

We work with owners, tenants and builders, and we are happy to talk through the job with whoever is managing the project. Get a free quote for your commercial site.

Asbestos removal in Moorabbin: common questions

Do you remove asbestos from commercial buildings in Moorabbin?

Yes. We work on factories, warehouses, offices and retail premises as well as homes. Common jobs include removing asbestos roof sheeting, wall cladding and internal partitions before a fit out or refurbishment. We plan the work to suit the site and keep disruption to your business as low as we can.

My Moorabbin home is brick. Can it still have asbestos?

Yes. Many brick homes built from the 1940s to the 1970s used asbestos cement in the eaves, wet areas, flues and outbuildings, even though the main walls are brick. Having suspect materials tested before you renovate is the safest way to find out.

Can Kingston’s hard rubbish collection take asbestos?

No. Asbestos is not accepted in household bins or hard rubbish collections. It must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site licensed or permitted to accept asbestos waste. We can remove and dispose of it for you so it ends up in the right place.

We are replacing an old gas heater. Does the flue need testing?

If the heater or hot water unit was installed before the mid 1980s, the flue may be asbestos cement. It is worth having it checked before the plumber starts. If it does contain asbestos, we can remove it safely so the new appliance can be fitted.

Do you offer asbestos clearance certificates?

Yes. For removal jobs over 10 square metres we arrange an independent clearance inspection, in line with WorkSafe requirements. A clearance confirms the work area has been inspected after removal, which is useful for builders, tenants and anyone who needs to show the job was done properly.

Asbestos Testing and Inspection in Moorabbin

With so many buildings in Moorabbin dating from the 1940s to the 1970s, testing is a sensible first step for almost any renovation or fit out. We take samples of suspect materials, such as eaves, roof sheets, flues or wall linings, and have them analysed by a NATA accredited laboratory so you know exactly what you are dealing with. For larger homes, factories and warehouses, a full inspection records where asbestos is likely to be found and the condition it is in. That information helps you brief builders, meet workplace obligations and plan removal before work starts, rather than dealing with a surprise halfway through.
