Common asbestos jobs in Oakleigh

Oakleigh has a busy mix of homes, apartments, shops and older industrial buildings, and each brings its own asbestos issues. Here are the jobs we are most often asked to do in the area:

Removing wall and ceiling sheets before a kitchen or bathroom renovation
Clearing garages, sheds and outbuildings on older house blocks
Stripping asbestos from factories and warehouses being refitted or redeveloped
Pre-demolition removal where a house is making way for units
Replacing roof sheeting on older workshops and carports

For these we offer asbestos kitchen removal, asbestos roof removal and full asbestos disposal, all carried out by a fully licensed team.

Housing stock and building eras

This is one of Melbourne’s older south eastern suburbs, with some Victorian and interwar homes near the station and shopping centre. Much of the surrounding housing, however, went up in the years after the Second World War, when the area grew quickly. Weatherboard and brick veneer homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, plus blocks of flats from the same period, are where asbestos cement was most widely used.

Inside these homes we often find asbestos in bathroom wall linings, laundry sheeting, vinyl tile backing and eaves. Outside, look at sheds, fences, meter boards and flat roofed extensions. Oakleigh’s industrial pockets can also contain asbestos cement roofing, wall panels and pipe lagging in older buildings.

Some homes here were built in stages, with a small original cottage later extended with fibro rooms at the back. Those additions were often put together cheaply and quickly, and they are among the first places we check when an owner is planning a new kitchen, bathroom or living area.

Local council and renovation advice

Oakleigh is in the City of Monash, and we also work across Hughesdale, Clayton, Huntingdale, Chadstone, Carnegie and Mount Waverley. Before you start renovating, have any suspect material tested, and never cut, sand or drill it to “have a look”. In Victoria, friable asbestos and non-friable asbestos over 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed removalist, and waste must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site that is permitted to accept it.

For commercial owners, Victorian workplace rules also require an up to date asbestos register where asbestos is present or likely to be present. An inspection is a good place to start if you are unsure.

Rental properties and landlords in Oakleigh

Oakleigh has a large number of rental homes and flats, helped by its train line, busy shopping centre and short trip to Monash University. Many of these properties are older, which means landlords often need to plan around asbestos when fixing a bathroom, replacing a floor or repairing damage between tenants.

The simplest approach is to plan asbestos work for the gap between leases. With the property empty, we can set up the work area properly and remove several items in one visit, such as a bathroom lining, a laundry wall and a broken fibro fence. Our asbestos testing service is a quick way to check suspect materials before you book other trades.

Keep a record of known or suspected asbestos in the property
Tell your property manager, so tradespeople are warned before they start
Do not let anyone drill or cut suspect sheeting to install fittings

Asbestos removal in Oakleigh: common questions

Do older factories in Oakleigh need an asbestos register?

Under Victorian workplace health and safety rules, a workplace where asbestos is present or likely to be present needs an up to date asbestos register. If you own or manage an older industrial or commercial building in Oakleigh and do not have a current register, an inspection by a competent person is the first step before any refit.

What should I check before buying an older Oakleigh home to renovate?

Look for fibro sheeting in bathrooms, laundries, eaves, sheds and extensions, along with vinyl tiles and old heater flues. These are common in post-war Oakleigh homes. An asbestos inspection before or soon after purchase helps you understand removal needs early, so the renovation budget and timeline are realistic from the start.

Can asbestos be removed from an Oakleigh rental while tenants live there?

Small, contained jobs can sometimes be done with tenants at home, with the work area closed off. For larger jobs, or anything affecting kitchens, bathrooms or living spaces, it is usually better to do the work between tenancies. Talk to your property manager about notice requirements, and we can advise on what is practical for your property.

What should an Oakleigh landlord do about a cracked fibro shed or fence?

Cracked or broken fibro should be left alone rather than patched or cleaned. Ask tenants not to disturb it, then have it inspected or tested. If it is asbestos and in poor condition, removal is often the simplest long term fix. We can remove the damaged structure and take the waste to a permitted site.

Do older flats in Oakleigh have asbestos in the floors?

Some do. Vinyl floor tiles and the backing on older sheet vinyl laid before the mid 1980s can contain asbestos, and they are often hidden under newer carpet or floating floors. If you plan to lift the flooring in an older Oakleigh flat, have a sample tested first so you know how it must be handled.
