Your neighbourhood asbestos removalist

Aussie Asbestos Solutions is based in Chelsea Heights, so Chelsea is right on our doorstep. We know the local streets and the kinds of homes found between the beach and the Nepean Highway, from post-war weatherboards and fibro cottages to 1970s brick veneers and units. We are fully licensed, registered with EPA Victoria, which helps when storm damage or a surprise find during renovations needs attention quickly.

Homes of that era and where asbestos hides

A lot of Chelsea housing went up in the decades when asbestos cement was a go-to material. It turns up in some less obvious spots:

under floor coverings in kitchens and laundries
behind wall tiles in original bathrooms
in the backing of old electrical meter boards
in vent pipes and flues on the roof
in garage walls and carport ceilings

Kitchen and bathroom renovations are the two jobs we do most often locally. Have a look at our asbestos kitchen removal and asbestos bathroom removal pages to see how we approach them.

Council, neighbours and nearby suburbs

Chelsea is in the City of Kingston. Like other councils, Kingston does not accept asbestos in hard rubbish collections, so any removed material needs to be handled through a licensed disposal site. If you are demolishing or making major changes, your building surveyor may also ask for evidence that asbestos has been dealt with.

We cover Chelsea Heights, Edithvale, Bonbeach, Carrum and Aspendale as everyday local work.

Before the builders arrive

Get suspected materials checked with our asbestos testing service, ask your builder to price the job with asbestos removal as a separate stage, and let neighbours know when the work is scheduled. Licensed removal keeps everyone on your Chelsea street safe.

Being so close means we can often inspect at a time that suits you, including early mornings or after work, and it keeps travel simple for smaller jobs like a single flue, a laundry wall or a shed roof. Small jobs still need the same care as big ones. The work area is set up and isolated, the material is kept damp to limit dust, every sheet is removed as whole as possible and the waste is double wrapped and labelled. Once the job is finished, we clean the area thoroughly and, where one is needed, a clearance certificate can be issued through the site clean-up process.

If you are unsure whether a job is big enough to need a licensed removalist, just ask and we will explain the rules in plain English.

Units and owners corporations in Chelsea

Chelsea has plenty of older unit blocks, and they bring their own asbestos questions. Materials such as eaves linings, meter boxes, carport ceilings and shared fences are usually common property, so decisions about them normally go through the owners corporation rather than a single owner.

Inside your own unit, work such as a bathroom or kitchen update can usually be organised yourself, although it is worth checking your owners corporation rules first. When the work touches a shared wall, the roof space or a service duct, talk to the manager before booking.

For owners corporations, a planned approach works best:

commission one inspection of the common property so every owner works from the same information
keep the report with the owners corporation records
schedule removal of damaged items, such as carport ceilings or old fences, as part of regular maintenance

Our asbestos inspection and asbestos ceiling removal services suit both single units and whole blocks. Get a free quote for your Chelsea unit or block.

Asbestos removal in Chelsea: common questions

I found broken fibro while renovating my Chelsea bathroom. What should I do?

Stop work in that area straight away and avoid sweeping or vacuuming the debris with a normal vacuum. Lightly dampen the pieces if you can do so without disturbing them further, keep people and pets out, and call a licensed removalist. As we are based in Chelsea Heights, so we can attend locally.

Could the meter box on my Chelsea home contain asbestos?

Many electrical meter boards installed before the late 1980s used asbestos containing backing panels. They are generally stable if left alone, but should not be drilled or broken. Replacing one involves your electrician and a licensed asbestos removalist working together, and we can coordinate the asbestos part of the job.

Who pays for asbestos removal on common property in my Chelsea unit block?

Costs for common property are usually shared among owners through the owners corporation, in line with its rules and each lot’s share of the fees. The owners corporation or its manager normally arranges the work. If you notice damaged material such as a cracked eave or a sagging carport ceiling, report it to the manager so it can be inspected and dealt with properly.

Is it worth getting a Chelsea unit inspected for asbestos before I buy?

It can be. Many Chelsea unit blocks were built when asbestos cement was widely used, so an inspection gives you a clearer idea of what is inside the unit and in any common areas you can access. Ask the owners corporation whether it already holds an asbestos report too, as that can save time and show how the block is being looked after.

My Chelsea unit carport has a sagging fibro ceiling. Is it dangerous?

A sagging or water damaged ceiling can crack or fall, so it should be treated with care. Keep cars and people out from under the damaged section if you can, and do not try to push it back into place. Report it to your owners corporation and arrange an inspection. If it contains asbestos, it can be removed and taken to a licensed disposal site.
