Frankston’s mix of beach houses and suburban estates

Frankston covers a lot of ground, from the older streets near the beach and foreshore to the post-war and 1960s to 1970s estates spreading east and south. Holiday homes and fibro beach houses sit alongside weatherboard family homes and brick veneers. With so much of the housing built before the mid 1980s, asbestos is a common find when Frankston homes are renovated or cleared.

What we see in homes of each era

Older beach houses

Fibro cladding, flat sheet internal linings and asbestos cement roofs on outbuildings are typical. Many have been extended several times, often using whatever sheeting was on hand.

1960s and 1970s homes

Brick veneers and weatherboards from this period usually have asbestos in eaves, bathroom and laundry walls, and sometimes vinyl flooring backing or heater flues.

Outbuildings and boundaries

Garages, sheds and back fences made from asbestos cement are very common across the area. Our asbestos fence removal and asbestos roof removal services cover these jobs.

Council, disposal and nearby areas

Frankston is managed by Frankston City Council. Asbestos cannot be put into kerbside bins or hard rubbish. EPA Victoria requires asbestos waste to be wrapped, labelled and delivered to a site licensed to accept it, and we handle this through our asbestos disposal service.

Being based nearby in Chelsea Heights, we regularly work in Frankston South, Frankston North, Karingal, Seaford and Langwarrin.

Before renovating

Book asbestos testing on any suspect material you plan to disturb. For more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, or anything friable, removal must be done by a licensed removalist. Sorting this out before your builder starts keeps the job moving.

Coastal conditions can also speed up the ageing of older sheeting. Salt air, strong sun and wind can leave fibro surfaces rough, cracked or powdery over time. If you notice that the surface of old cladding or a fence has started to break down, avoid touching it and keep children away from any broken pieces. Weathered material is best assessed by a professional so you know whether it should be sealed, managed or removed. We can inspect the whole property in one visit and give you straightforward advice on what needs attention now and what can wait.

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

Rental properties and landlords in Frankston

Frankston has a large number of rental homes and units, and many of them were built before the mid 1980s. For landlords and property managers, knowing where asbestos is located makes routine maintenance safer and helps avoid costly surprises between tenancies.

Small jobs are often where problems start. A tenant hanging a picture, a handyman replacing a bathroom fan or a contractor fixing a gutter can all disturb asbestos cement without realising it. An asbestos inspection gives you a record you can pass on to trades before they start work.

Good times to deal with asbestos in a Frankston rental include:

between tenancies, when the property is empty
before replacing a bathroom, laundry or kitchen
when fibro fences, eaves or shed roofs start to crack or break

Our team can work with your property manager to arrange access and complete removal in one visit where possible. Damaged fencing is one of the most common rental jobs, and our asbestos fence removal service covers it. Get a free quote for your investment property.

Asbestos removal in Frankston: common questions

Is fibro cladding on a Frankston beach house always asbestos?

Not always. Fibre cement sheeting made after the late 1980s is asbestos free, and the two can look almost the same. However, most fibro on beach houses built before the mid 1980s does contain asbestos. A laboratory test on a small sample is the only reliable way to know before you renovate or repair.

My Frankston fence was damaged in a storm. Can you help quickly?

Yes. We are based nearby in Chelsea Heights. Storm damaged asbestos fencing should not be picked up or broken further. Keep children and pets away and, if possible, lightly cover broken pieces with plastic. We can make the area safe, remove the damaged panels and dispose of them properly.

I own a rental in Frankston. Should I get an asbestos inspection?

For any property built before the mid 1980s it is a sensible step. An inspection shows where asbestos is present and what condition it is in, so you can let tenants and tradespeople know which materials should not be drilled, cut or sanded. It also helps you plan any removal for a time when the property is vacant.

Can you coordinate asbestos removal with my Frankston property manager?

Yes. We can work with property managers to arrange access, notify tenants and schedule removal at a convenient time, such as between leases. Once the work is done, the area is cleaned, the waste is taken to a licensed site and a clearance certificate can be issued through the site clean-up process where one is needed.

Does asbestos in a Frankston rental have to be removed straight away?

Not necessarily. Asbestos cement that is intact, sealed and not going to be disturbed is often managed in place. Material that is damaged, crumbling or in the way of planned repairs is a different matter and should be assessed. An inspection will help you decide what can be left, what should be monitored and what needs to come out.
