Period homes with mid century updates

Hawthorn is known for Victorian and Edwardian houses, yet asbestos still turns up here more often than people think. Many of these grand old homes were updated between the 1940s and early 1980s, when owners added rear extensions, enclosed verandahs, new kitchens and bathrooms using asbestos cement sheeting and other products of the day. The suburb also has a large number of 1960s and 1970s walk up flats, which frequently contain asbestos in shared and private areas.

Common finds in Hawthorn properties

  • Sleepouts and lean to extensions lined with fibro sheets
  • Textured or sheet ceilings added during mid century renovations
  • Bathroom and laundry wall sheeting behind old tiles
  • Vinyl floor tiles and backing in kitchens
  • Meter boards, flues and eaves in apartment blocks

Careful work in established streets

Tight side access, shared driveways and neighbours close by are part of working in Hawthorn. We set up containment and plan the removal route so that sheets leave the site wrapped and intact. Owners restoring a period home often call us for asbestos ceiling removal in a back extension, or asbestos kitchen removal before a new kitchen goes in. For apartment owners and body corporates, an asbestos inspection is a sensible first step before any works in common areas.

We cover Hawthorn East, Kew, Camberwell, Glenferrie and Auburn, along with the rest of the City of Boroondara.

Commercial work is part of the mix as well. Older offices, consulting rooms and shopfronts along the local retail strips were often fitted out in the 1960s and 1970s, and refits can uncover asbestos in partition walls, ceiling tiles and floor coverings. An inspection before the strip out keeps the project moving.

What to do before your builder starts

Boroondara has heritage overlays across many streets, so renovation plans often take time. Use that time to have suspect materials identified. Knowing where asbestos is lets your builder plan around it, and avoids work stopping halfway through. Remember that friable asbestos, and more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, must be removed by a licensed removalist under WorkSafe Victoria rules.

Aussie Asbestos Solutions is fully licensed, EPA (Victoria) registered and has over 25 years of experience with residential and commercial jobs. We can arrange a clearance certificate once the site clean up is done. Get a free quote or call 0410 336 410.

Student rentals and share houses near Swinburne

With Swinburne University in the heart of the suburb, Hawthorn has a large number of share houses and rental flats, many in older buildings that have been updated several times. Rooms have been divided, sleepouts added and bathrooms squeezed into spare corners, often using asbestos cement sheeting at the time.

Rentals see a lot of small repairs. Shelves go up, locks are changed, fans and cables are fitted and walls are patched at the end of each lease. Each of these jobs can disturb asbestos if nobody knows it is there.

For Hawthorn landlords we suggest:

  • an asbestos inspection so you have a clear record for trades and property managers
  • removing damaged material from the areas tenants use every day
  • planning larger jobs, such as bathroom or kitchen replacements, over the summer break when many student leases turn over

Our asbestos bathroom removal service is often the first step when an older share house bathroom is replaced. Get a free quote for your Hawthorn rental.

Asbestos removal in Hawthorn: common questions

Can a Victorian or Edwardian home in Hawthorn contain asbestos?

Yes. The original structure may not, but many period homes in Hawthorn had extensions, sleepouts, bathrooms and kitchens added or updated between the 1940s and 1980s. Those later works often used asbestos cement sheeting, textured ceilings or vinyl tiles. Testing the newer parts of the house before renovating is the safest approach.

How is asbestos removed from a Hawthorn apartment block?

Work in a block of units usually starts with an inspection to map what is present in both private and common areas. Removal is then scheduled to limit disruption to other residents, with areas sealed off and waste carried out wrapped. Owners corporations should keep records of what was removed and any clearance certificate issued.

I rent out a share house in Hawthorn. What should I do about asbestos?

Start by finding out where it is. An inspection records suspect materials and their condition, so you can tell tenants and tradespeople what should not be drilled or cut. Asbestos in good condition can often be left in place and monitored, while damaged material or anything in the way of planned repairs should be removed by a licensed team.

Can asbestos removal in a Hawthorn rental be done between leases?

Yes, and it is often the easiest time. An empty property means no need to relocate tenants or belongings, and the work area can be isolated without disrupting anyone living there. We can coordinate access with your property manager, complete the removal and clean up, and leave the space ready for your other trades before new tenants move in.

Could a sleepout at the back of my Hawthorn house contain asbestos?

It is quite likely if it was built or relined between the 1940s and early 1980s. Sleepouts and enclosed verandahs on Hawthorn period homes were commonly lined with fibro sheets, sometimes with asbestos cement roofing too. Have the linings tested before you remove, repaint or rewire the room, and we can take out any asbestos safely.
