-
AsbestosFlue RemovalFlue pipes found on homes built in the mid 20th century more or less served the purpose that they do now; acting as a crucial component of home heating installations such as the fireplace or water heater. One of the key differences, though, is that many flues of that time contained asbestos, whether it was bonded asbestos in the cement pipes, or friable asbestos rope gaskets. -
AsbestosWall RemovalUp until about 1987, and especially during the middle of the 20th century, there were many homes built in Melbourne and across Australia that used sheeting made of asbestos cement to form the walls of the property.
-
AsbestosCeiling RemovalNot only was asbestos widely used to create the walls of older-built homes, it was also used as insulation in a home’s ceiling space in loose-fill form (one of the biggest
-
AsbestosRoof RemovalIn addition to being used to build ceilings for homes, asbestos was also used in the tiles that formed the roof. Of course, once the extent of damage that asbestos could cause became known, many home-owners sought asbestos roof removal for the sake of their health and that of their families.
-
AsbestosFence RemovalDo you have a corrugated cement fence dividing your home from your neighbours? If it was built between 1950 and 1985, it’s possible that it might contain asbestos – and if it does test positive for the harmful substance, it should be removed.
-
AsbestosTestingWhen it comes to the presence of asbestos in a residential or commercial property, it’s not always easy to detect – at least not to the naked eye. More often than not, it’s located behind walls or ceilings, or makes up the wall or ceiling itself.
-
AsbestosDisposalOnce all traces of asbestos have been removed from your residential or commercial property, the next step is to dispose of it. Being a hazardous material, the safest method of asbestos disposal is to have an experienced and licensed removalist take care of the job for you, as they have the equipment and training to dispose of it safely.

AsbestosBathroomsAsbestos products were used a lot in construction prior to the mid-1985, when they were phased out around 1990 after the dangers of asbestos came to light. Prior to this, asbestos products were widely used because they were extremely strong, non-corrosive, insulating and fire proof.
-
AsbestosKitchensThere are serious health and safety concerns that one should keep in mind while renovating your kitchen. Asbestos products were extensively used inside houses as wall sheeting, particularly in wet areas such as the kitchen as waterproof panelling.

Foothills homes and the asbestos era
Ferntree Gully sits at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, and much of its housing was built during the suburban growth of the 1960s and 1970s. Weatherboard homes and brick veneers on sloping, leafy blocks are typical, often with timber decks, pole homes on steeper sites, and sheds tucked into the garden. Many of these were built or extended while asbestos cement was still in common use.
Homes on sloping sites often have extra spaces that were added later, like lower level rumpus rooms, under house storage areas and enclosed decks. These are frequently lined with asbestos cement sheet.
Typical jobs in Ferntree Gully
- removing fibro linings from under house rooms before they are converted into living space
- replacing asbestos cement shed and carport roofs, see asbestos roof removal
- taking out ceilings in bathrooms and laundries during renovations, see asbestos ceiling removal
- checking eaves and cladding before re-cladding or re-painting
Access can be trickier on steep blocks, so we plan how waste will be carried out and loaded before work begins.
Knox council and disposal
Ferntree Gully is in the City of Knox. Knox will not collect asbestos in hard rubbish. EPA Victoria requires asbestos waste to be wrapped in heavy plastic, labelled and taken to a licensed disposal site. Our asbestos disposal service handles this for you.
Before starting your project
Get an asbestos inspection of the areas you plan to change, including under house areas and outbuildings. Then book licensed removal for anything over the 10 square metre non-friable limit, or any friable material, before other trades start.
We also cover Upper Ferntree Gully, Boronia, Knoxfield and Rowville.
Leafy streets bring another consideration. Leaves, moss and lichen tend to build up on old asbestos cement roofs in shaded gardens, and many owners are tempted to clean them with a high pressure hose. This can erode the surface of the sheets and spread fibres around the garden and into gutters and downpipes. If your shed or carport roof is looking tired, it is usually safer to have it assessed and, if necessary, replaced rather than cleaned. We can remove the old roof and leave the frame ready for new sheeting, so your builder or roofer can take over straight away.
Where a clearance inspection is needed after removal, the site clean-up process allows a clearance certificate to be issued.

Storm damage, fallen trees and broken fibro
Tall trees are part of what makes Ferntree Gully so appealing, but in strong winds branches and whole trees can come down onto sheds, carports, fences and roofs. When an older structure made from asbestos cement is hit, the sheets can shatter and leave broken pieces spread across the garden, the driveway or a neighbour’s yard.
If this happens at your place:
- keep everyone, including children and pets, away from the broken material
- do not sweep, mow over or hose the debris
- if it is safe, lightly dampen small fragments and cover them with plastic
- take photos for your insurer before anything is moved
We can help make the area safe, remove the damaged sheeting and collect scattered fragments. Our asbestos disposal service then takes the waste to a licensed site, and our asbestos fence removal team can clear damaged fencing so it can be replaced. If a tree has fallen on a fibro structure, get a free quote and talk to us before starting the clean up.

Asbestos removal in Ferntree Gully: common questions
I want to turn the under house room of my Ferntree Gully home into a bedroom. Where do I start?
Start by having the wall and ceiling linings tested, as under house rooms added before the mid 1980s were often lined with asbestos cement sheet. If asbestos is found, have it removed by a licensed team before your builder begins framing, insulating or wiring. This keeps the project safe and on schedule.
Is it harder to remove asbestos from a steep block in Ferntree Gully?
It can take more planning, but it is very achievable. Steep driveways and stepped yards affect how we move wrapped waste to our vehicle, so we look at access during the inspection. Sheets are handled carefully to avoid breakage, and all waste is sealed and labelled before it leaves the work area.
A tree has fallen on my fibro shed in Ferntree Gully. What should I do?
Keep people and pets away from the broken sheeting and do not start clearing it yourself. Once the tree is removed by an arborist, the damaged asbestos cement should be handled by a licensed removalist. Take photos for your insurer, lightly dampen any small fragments if safe, and call us. We can remove and dispose of the debris.
Is it safe to clean moss off an old asbestos roof in Ferntree Gully?
It is not recommended. Scrubbing or high pressure cleaning erodes the surface of asbestos cement and can wash fibres into gutters, downpipes and garden beds. Shaded foothill gardens tend to grow moss quickly, so many owners face this question. We suggest having the roof assessed, then either leaving it undisturbed or replacing it through licensed removal.
Could my Ferntree Gully pole home or timber house still contain asbestos?
Yes. Even homes built mainly from timber in Ferntree Gully often used asbestos cement in bathrooms, laundries, eaves, under house linings and later additions. The only way to know for sure is to test the material. An inspection before renovating will show which parts of the house need attention and which are clear.
