Orchards to suburbs: Doncaster’s building boom

Doncaster was once orchard country, and most of its suburban housing arrived during the 1960s and 1970s as Melbourne spread east. Brick veneer homes, some split level designs on the sloping streets, and plenty of family homes with rumpus rooms and pergolas all went up in that period. It was also the peak era for asbestos cement in Australian homes, so many original Doncaster houses contain it somewhere.

Where to look in a 1960s or 1970s brick veneer

The brick outer skin hides a lot. In homes of this age we most often find asbestos in:

Eaves and soffits, usually flat asbestos cement sheet
Wet areas, as wall sheeting behind tiles and under bathroom floors
Heating, particularly flues from old gas space heaters
Additions, such as rumpus rooms and enclosed patios lined with fibro
Kitchens, in splashbacks, flooring backing and range hood surrounds

Our asbestos bathroom removal and asbestos kitchen removal services are built for exactly these renovations.

Rebuilds and renovations in Manningham

Doncaster is in the City of Manningham, where many original homes are being replaced with larger houses and townhouses. If you are planning a knockdown, the asbestos should be identified and removed before demolition. For a renovation, it should be removed from the areas being worked on before other trades start.

Either way, begin with asbestos testing or a full inspection, share the results with your builder, then book licensed removal. We dispose of all asbestos waste at licensed facilities in line with EPA Victoria requirements.

We also cover Doncaster East, Templestowe, Templestowe Lower and Box Hill North.

One more thing to consider on sloping streets is how dust and debris could travel. Wind and gradient can carry fine material towards neighbouring gardens if the work area is not properly set up. Our team uses controlled methods to keep dust down, including wetting the material, removing sheets whole where possible and sealing waste straight away. We also let you know what to tell neighbours if they have questions. Good communication and careful preparation make the day go smoothly for everyone in the street, and help keep the project on track for the trades that follow.

When the job is done, the area is cleaned and a clearance certificate can be issued through the site clean-up process if one is needed.

Getting a Doncaster family home ready to sell

Plenty of Doncaster homes have been owned by the same family since they were built, and many are now being prepared for sale. Buyers of original 1960s and 1970s houses in Manningham often ask about asbestos, and having clear answers can make inspections and negotiations far simpler.

Before you list, it is worth thinking about:

an asbestos inspection so you know what is in the house and where
removing damaged or weathered sheeting that could worry buyers, such as broken eaves or a cracked carport roof
clearing asbestos from any room you plan to refresh with new paint, flooring or fittings
keeping the paperwork from any removal and disposal to show interested buyers

You do not have to remove everything before selling. Sound, undisturbed asbestos cement is often best left alone, and a buyer planning a rebuild may prefer to handle it themselves. What matters is knowing what is there. If you do decide on some work first, our asbestos roof removal team can deal with sheds and carports quickly so the property presents well.

Asbestos removal in Doncaster: common questions

Is there asbestos in the eaves of my 1970s Doncaster brick veneer?

It is quite likely. Flat asbestos cement sheet was widely used for eaves linings in brick veneer homes built before the mid 1980s. Intact, painted eaves are generally low risk, but they should not be drilled or cut, for example when installing downlights or solar cabling. A test will confirm the material.

Do split level homes in Doncaster make asbestos removal harder?

Split level designs can mean more steps, tighter subfloor areas and trickier access to some walls and ceilings, but they are very manageable. We plan the work area, access and waste handling around the layout of the home. An inspection beforehand lets us understand the site and give you an accurate quote.

Should I remove asbestos before selling my Doncaster home?

Not always. Asbestos cement that is in good condition and left undisturbed is generally low risk, and many buyers in Doncaster plan their own renovation or rebuild. An inspection report is often the most useful step, because it tells buyers exactly what is present. Removing damaged material, such as broken eaves or a cracked shed roof, can still be worthwhile before you list.

Can asbestos be in the carport or pergola roof of a Doncaster house?

Yes. Many Doncaster homes built in the 1960s and 1970s had carports, patios and pergolas roofed with corrugated asbestos cement, and some still do. These sheets become brittle as they age and should never be walked on or water blasted. We can test the roofing and, if needed, remove it and leave the frame ready for new sheeting.

Is vinyl flooring in an older Doncaster kitchen likely to contain asbestos?

It can. Vinyl floor tiles and the backing on some older sheet vinyl laid in Doncaster homes before the mid 1980s may contain asbestos. It is usually low risk while intact, but lifting, sanding or scraping it can release fibres. Have a sample tested before your flooring installer starts, and we can remove it safely if it is positive.
