Grand old homes with later additions

Brighton has some of Melbourne’s oldest housing, with Victorian and Edwardian homes sitting beside interwar houses, post-war builds and blocks of flats. The original period homes were rarely built with asbestos, but nearly all of them were updated at some point between the 1950s and early 1980s. That is where we tend to find it: in the kitchens, bathrooms, rear extensions and heating that were added during those decades.

Walk-up flats from the 1960s and 1970s are another common source. Their wet areas, meter boxes, eaves and service ducts often contain asbestos cement products.

Work we are often asked to do in Brighton

Kitchen renovations where old splashback sheets, flue pipes or vinyl flooring with backing need to come out. See asbestos kitchen removal.
Bathroom updates in flats and extensions, where tiles sit on asbestos cement wall sheeting. See asbestos bathroom removal.
Heating upgrades where an old gas heater flue must be taken out before new ducted or split systems go in.
Pre-sale or pre-purchase checks through our asbestos inspection service.

We also cover Brighton East, Hampton, Elsternwick and Middle Brighton.

Heritage homes and planning

Parts of Brighton are covered by heritage controls managed by the City of Bayside, so your architect or builder may already be dealing with council permits. Asbestos removal is separate from planning approval, but it still needs to be scheduled early. Removing asbestos from a heritage home usually means working carefully around original features you want to keep, which we plan for from the start. Licensed removal is required for more than 10 square metres of non-friable material and for any friable asbestos, and all waste must go to a licensed facility.

It also helps to know that not all asbestos looks the same. In period homes it might be a grey flat sheet under a lino floor, a thin board behind a tiled splashback or a pipe running up through a ceiling cavity. In flats it is often hidden inside meter cupboards and service ducts. Because it can be so easy to miss, we encourage owners to have the full area of work inspected rather than only the obvious sheets. A clear report means your builder, electrician and plumber can all work with confidence, and nobody has to stop halfway through the job because of an unexpected find behind a wall.

Once removal is finished, the area is cleaned and, where required, a clearance certificate can be issued through the site clean-up process.

Shops, offices and small businesses in Brighton

Brighton’s shopping strips along Church Street and Bay Street include many older buildings that have been refitted several times for new tenants. Behind the shopfronts, it is common to find asbestos cement in rear storerooms, old toilet blocks, eaves, meter boards and ceiling linings added decades ago.

If you own or manage an older commercial building, Victorian workplace safety rules generally require asbestos in the workplace to be identified and recorded in an asbestos register. Keeping that register current makes fit outs much simpler, because shopfitters, electricians and plumbers can see where they need to take care. We can help with:

an asbestos inspection before you sign a lease or start a fit out
removal of old ceilings and wall linings between tenancies
work scheduled outside trading hours to limit disruption to customers

For a café, salon or office refit, the ceiling is often the first thing to come out. See asbestos ceiling removal for how we approach it, or get a free quote for your Brighton premises.

Asbestos removal in Brighton: common questions

Does my Victorian era Brighton home contain asbestos?

The original structure of a Victorian or Edwardian home usually predates asbestos products, but later work often does not. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, rear additions and heater flues added between the 1950s and 1980s commonly contain asbestos. An inspection of the updated areas is the best way to know before renovating.

I own a unit in a 1960s Brighton block of flats. Who organises asbestos removal?

For work inside your own unit, such as a bathroom renovation, you can usually organise it yourself. Common property like eaves, meter boxes or shared walls is generally managed through the owners corporation. Check with your owners corporation first, then we can inspect and quote for the areas involved.

I lease a shop in Brighton. Is asbestos the landlord’s responsibility or mine?

It depends on your lease and on who manages or controls the building. Often the owner holds the asbestos register and looks after materials in the structure, while tenants must not disturb them during a fit out without proper controls. Check your lease and ask the owner or agent for the register before any work starts. If no register exists, an inspection is a sensible first step.

Can asbestos removal happen in a Brighton shop outside business hours?

Yes. Work can often be scheduled early in the morning, in the evening or on days the business is closed. We can work outside trading hours where needed, which makes it easier to plan around trading. The work area is isolated during removal and cleaned before staff and customers return, and where required a clearance certificate can be issued through the site clean-up process before you reopen.

What happens to the asbestos waste from a Brighton job?

Asbestos waste cannot go into skips, household bins or council hard rubbish collections. It is wrapped in heavy plastic, labelled and transported to a site licensed to accept it, in line with EPA Victoria requirements. We are registered with EPA Victoria and handle the disposal as part of the job, so you do not need to arrange anything separately.
