-
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.

Asbestos in Geelong’s older housing
Geelong has a long industrial history, and its housing reflects each stage of that growth. Workers’ cottages near the centre, interwar homes in suburbs like Geelong West and Newtown, and large post-war estates built for families working in local manufacturing all feature across the region. Housing Commission estates in northern suburbs such as Norlane and Corio added thousands of homes during the 1950s and 1960s, many using fibro and asbestos cement products.
Much of this housing across the region is now being renovated, restumped, re-clad or replaced, and that is when asbestos needs careful handling.
Common jobs across Greater Geelong
The work we are asked about most often includes:
- Re-cladding post-war fibro homes, where old asbestos cement external walls are removed before new cladding goes on. See asbestos wall removal.
- Bathroom and laundry renovations in brick veneers and weatherboards from the 1950s to the 1980s. See asbestos bathroom removal.
- Commercial and industrial buildings with asbestos cement roofs and cladding.
- Pre-purchase and pre-renovation checks through our asbestos inspection service.
Planning your project
Geelong and its suburbs are managed by the City of Greater Geelong. Council waste services do not accept asbestos in household bins or hard waste, so removed material must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site licensed to receive it, in line with EPA Victoria requirements.
For removal of more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, or any friable asbestos, Victorian law requires a licensed removalist. Get suspect materials tested early, include asbestos removal as the first stage of your building schedule, and make sure your contractor provides proper disposal records. Where a clearance inspection is needed, the site clean-up process allows a clearance certificate to be issued.
We work across Geelong, Belmont, Newtown, Geelong West, Lara and surrounding areas.
Older weatherboard homes near the city centre can also surprise owners. Even where the main house is timber, rear additions, bathrooms and laundries were often built or relined with asbestos cement sheeting from the 1950s onwards. Old sheds, bungalows and fences are common too. Before restumping, rewiring or replumbing an older home, it is worth letting your tradespeople know about any suspect materials so they can avoid disturbing them. An inspection report gives everyone the same information and helps keep the project safe, on budget and on time from the very first day of work.
We can also collect and dispose of asbestos that has already been removed or left on site from earlier work.

Our asbestos services in Geelong
These are the services we are asked about most across Geelong and the wider Greater Geelong area.
Holiday homes and beach shacks on the Bellarine
The City of Greater Geelong stretches well beyond the city itself, taking in coastal towns on the Bellarine Peninsula such as Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Portarlington. Like many Victorian coastal areas, these towns have a long tradition of simple holiday homes and beach shacks, many built from fibro during the decades when asbestos cement was a cheap and popular choice.
Older holiday houses often have fibro walls and linings throughout, along with asbestos cement in outdoor showers, sheds, carports and fences. Because they are used only part of the year, damage from weather can go unnoticed for a long time.
If you own an older beach house, consider an asbestos inspection before renovating or selling, and book removal during the quieter months so the house is ready for summer. For complete rebuilds, all asbestos should be identified and removed before demolition, and our asbestos wall removal team can strip fibro cladding and linings as the first stage. We are happy to meet you on site or work with your builder while you are away. Get a free quote for your Bellarine property.

Asbestos removal in Geelong: common questions
Do former Housing Commission homes in Geelong’s northern suburbs contain asbestos?
Many post-war public housing homes in areas like Norlane and Corio were built with asbestos cement sheeting, particularly for external cladding, eaves and wet areas. Not every home will have it, and some have already been updated. An inspection or test will tell you what is present before you renovate or re-clad.
Do you travel to Geelong for asbestos removal?
Yes, we take on residential and commercial asbestos removal in Geelong and surrounding suburbs. Contact us with details of the property and the work you are planning. We can arrange an inspection or testing, then provide a free quote covering removal, licensed disposal and any clearance requirements for your project.
Do you remove asbestos from holiday homes on the Bellarine Peninsula?
Yes. We work across the City of Greater Geelong, including coastal towns on the Bellarine. Many older beach houses there contain fibro walls, linings, sheds and fences. We can inspect the property, remove asbestos before a renovation or rebuild, and arrange disposal at a licensed site. We can also coordinate access with your builder if you are not local.
Can asbestos be removed from a commercial or industrial building in Geelong?
Yes. We handle commercial as well as residential work. Older factories, warehouses and workshops across Geelong often have asbestos cement roofs, wall cladding and internal linings. We start by identifying what is present in the area being worked on, then plan removal around your operations so the site stays safe and the next stage can begin.
I have found old fibro pieces while digging in my Geelong backyard. What now?
Stop digging and keep the area damp and undisturbed. Broken asbestos cement was sometimes buried or left behind when old sheds and fences were pulled down, so fragments in soil are not unusual in older suburbs. Have a piece tested, and if it is positive we can remove the material and dispose of it at a licensed facility.

If we discover asbestos, it may sometimes be a good idea for safety and cost to leave some of it in place rather than removing it and performing an asbestos encapsulation service.
Our team will advise you as soon as possible if at all feasible, however, it is frequently not until the asbestos removal work has begun that we can discover the full extent of asbestos materials utilised in construction, with further testing often needed.
