Renovating an older home in Croydon

Croydon expanded strongly through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s as Melbourne’s eastern suburbs grew out towards the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley. Many streets are lined with weatherboard homes and brick veneers from that period, often on generous blocks with garages, workshops and garden sheds out the back. That era of construction means asbestos is a real possibility in a lot of Croydon homes.

Owners usually discover it when they start a project, such as opening up a wall, replacing a ceiling or pulling down an old shed.

Where asbestos tends to be

Inside the house

Ceilings in bathrooms and laundries, wall sheeting behind tiles, and sheet flooring with an asbestos backing are all common. Homes that have been added to over the years may have asbestos cement linings in family rooms or enclosed verandahs too. Our asbestos ceiling removal service handles both flat sheet and textured ceilings.

Around the yard

Larger blocks mean more outbuildings. Sheds, garages and carports built before the mid 1980s often used corrugated or flat asbestos cement sheets. Old fences are another frequent item. See asbestos roof removal and asbestos fence removal for how we handle these.

A note on disposal in Maroondah

Croydon is in the City of Maroondah. Asbestos cannot be placed in household bins or left out for hard rubbish collection. EPA Victoria requires it to be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site licensed to accept it, and we look after that as part of every removal.

We work throughout Croydon, Croydon North, Croydon Hills, Ringwood and Mooroolbark.

Older homes in the outer east have often had several owners and many rounds of do-it-yourself improvements. That can mean asbestos sheets reused in odd places, such as lining a garden shed, patching a ceiling or forming the base of a workbench. Offcuts were sometimes buried in garden beds or left under the house. If you come across broken grey sheeting while digging or clearing, stop, keep it damp and get it checked before moving it. Our team can collect and dispose of loose pieces as well as intact materials, so nothing is left behind for the next owner to find.

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

If you are about to renovate, start with a test or inspection, then plan licensed removal before other trades begin. Get a free quote for your project.

Storm and fallen tree damage in Croydon

Croydon’s tall trees and position at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges mean strong winds can bring down branches and sometimes whole trees. When that happens, older fibro roofs, fences and sheds are often among the first things to break, leaving pieces of asbestos cement scattered across yards, driveways and gutters.

If storm damage hits an older Croydon property:

keep people and pets away from any broken sheeting
do not hose, sweep or mow over the debris
photograph the damage for your insurer before anything is moved

We can help make a damaged area safe and then plan the full clean-up. Our asbestos disposal service covers broken pieces and loose debris, and asbestos fence removal handles fences flattened by falling branches. Insurers often ask for a written quote before approving repairs, so get a free quote as soon as the site is safe to inspect. Dealing with the asbestos first also means your tree contractor, roofer or fencer can get to work without the risk of crushing broken sheets further.

Asbestos removal in Croydon: common questions

My Croydon home has an old garage with a corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

If the garage was built before the mid 1980s and the roof is grey, ribbed cement sheeting, there is a good chance it contains asbestos. Weathered sheets can become brittle, so avoid walking on them or using a pressure washer. A laboratory test confirms it, and licensed removal is needed for anything over 10 square metres.

Is there asbestos under the old vinyl in my Croydon kitchen?

Some sheet vinyl and floor tiles laid before the mid 1980s had an asbestos containing backing or were stuck down with asbestos adhesives. Pulling them up can release fibres from the backing. Before lifting any old flooring, have a sample tested so the removal can be handled safely if needed.

A tree has fallen on my fibro shed in Croydon. Can I clean it up myself?

It is best not to. Storm damaged asbestos sheeting is often broken into small pieces, and handling it without the right controls can spread fibres around your yard. Keep people away, avoid hosing or sweeping the debris, and arrange for the material to be tested or inspected. We can remove the damaged sheets and loose fragments and dispose of them at a licensed site.

Will my insurance cover asbestos removal after a storm in Croydon?

That depends on your policy, so check with your insurer first. Many home policies cover storm damage, and where the damaged materials contain asbestos, safe removal may form part of the repair cost. Your insurer is likely to ask for photos and a written quote. We can inspect the damage and provide a free quote to support your claim.

Should I test the old workshop on my Croydon block before converting it?

Yes. Workshops and garages built before the mid 1980s were often lined or roofed with asbestos cement sheet. Converting one into a studio, home office or rumpus room usually means cutting, drilling or relining, all of which can disturb it. Testing first tells you what you are dealing with, so any asbestos can be removed before your builder starts.
