Where asbestos hides in Hastings properties

Hastings grew steadily through the middle of last century as a working town on Western Port, and a good share of its homes date from the 1950s to the 1970s. Fibro cottages, weatherboard houses and brick veneer homes from that time were routinely fitted with asbestos cement products, and the town’s larger blocks mean plenty of outbuildings made from the same material.

On a typical older property in Hastings we look closely at:

External fibro cladding on cottages and extensions
Corrugated asbestos roofing on garages, sheds and workshops
Internal wall and ceiling sheets, including the backing behind tiles
Old flue pipes running from heaters through the roof

Sheds, roofs and rural style jobs

Because Hastings sits between suburban streets and semi rural acreage, the work here often leans towards larger outdoor structures. Old corrugated roofs on sheds and workshops weather badly in the coastal air, and brittle sheets are a real concern. Our asbestos roof removal service handles these safely, and our asbestos wall removal team takes care of fibro cladding when owners reclad or extend. Where a shed has come down in a storm or partly collapsed, we can also help with asbestos disposal of the broken material.

We work right across the Mornington Peninsula Shire, including nearby Bittern, Crib Point, Tyabb, Somerville and Balnarring. Commercial and light industrial sites are covered too.

Old farm buildings bring their own risks. Asbestos sheets were sometimes reused as patching, stacked behind sheds or buried when a structure was pulled down decades ago. If you find broken fragments while digging or clearing a paddock, stop work, keep the area damp and undisturbed, and have the material checked before going any further.

Planning a renovation or knock down

Before you renovate in Hastings, have suspect materials tested. It is not possible to tell asbestos cement from modern fibre cement just by looking, and a quick sample removes the guesswork. Remember that in Victoria any friable asbestos, and non-friable asbestos over 10 square metres, must be removed by a licensed removalist. Waste has to be wrapped, labelled and delivered to a site that is permitted to take it, so it should never go in household bins or a general skip.

If you are selling or buying an older home in town, knowing what asbestos is present can also make negotiations clearer. An inspection gives both parties a better idea of any removal needed before renovation.

Older shops, workshops and light industrial sites

Hastings has long been a working town, with a town centre of older shops and a range of workshops, sheds and light industrial buildings serving the port, fishing, boating and trade businesses. Many of these structures were built or extended in the decades when asbestos cement was a standard material for roofs, walls and internal linings.

In commercial buildings around Hastings we commonly check:

corrugated roofs and wall cladding on sheds and workshops
ceiling panels and partition walls in older shops and offices
floor tiles, switchboard panels and amenities areas

If you own or lease a commercial property, an asbestos inspection helps you understand what is on site before repairs, a refit or a change of tenant. Where removal is needed, we plan the job around your business, whether that means working in stages, outside opening hours or while equipment is moved. Our asbestos roof removal team handles large shed and workshop roofs. We are Australian owned and fully licensed for residential and commercial work. Get a free quote for your Hastings premises.

Asbestos removal in Hastings: common questions

Is weathered asbestos roofing on a Hastings shed dangerous?

Asbestos cement roofing becomes more brittle as it ages, and coastal weather speeds that up. Intact sheets left alone are lower risk, but cracked or broken sheets, or any attempt to water blast or cut them, can release fibres. If a roof is deteriorating, have it assessed and removed by a licensed team rather than patching it.

Do you remove asbestos from acreage and rural properties around Hastings?

Yes. We regularly deal with sheds, workshops, animal shelters and old fences on larger blocks around Hastings and the wider Mornington Peninsula. Bigger sites need more planning for access, wrapping and transport, so we inspect first and then give you a clear scope and a free quote before any work begins.

Do you remove asbestos from workshops and industrial units in Hastings?

Yes. We handle commercial and light industrial work as well as homes. Many workshops and sheds around Hastings have asbestos cement roofs, wall cladding or internal linings. We identify what is present in the areas being worked on, then plan the removal to suit your operations, including staged work where the business needs to keep running.

I am leasing an older shop in Hastings. Who should arrange an asbestos check before a refit?

This depends on your lease, so talk to the owner or agent first. Either way, the areas you plan to change should be checked before any strip out, because older shops can contain asbestos in ceiling panels, partitions and flooring. We can inspect the premises and provide the information both owner and tenant need to plan the work.

Can you replace an asbestos roof on a working shed in Hastings without a long shutdown?

In many cases the removal can be staged so parts of the shed stay usable. We plan the sequence with you, protect equipment and stock from the work area, and remove sheets whole where possible. Once each section is cleared, your roofer can install new sheeting so the building is weathertight again as soon as possible.
