A growth suburb from the asbestos years

Ringwood changed from an orchard and market garden district into a busy suburb in the decades after the Second World War. Large areas of housing went up through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and the Eastland shopping centre opened in 1967. That timing matters, because it matches the period when asbestos cement was used most heavily in Australian homes and commercial buildings.

In older Ringwood homes, asbestos is frequently found in:

Eaves and soffit linings
Bathroom, laundry and toilet walls
Vinyl floor tiles in kitchens and hallways
Carports, pergolas and garden sheds
Fibro extensions at the back of the house

Older commercial buildings near the activity centre, including offices, shops and small factories, can contain asbestos in ceiling tiles, wall panels and roofing too.

Typical removal work in Ringwood

The area’s leafy streets and larger blocks mean a lot of our work involves both inside and outside the house. We often help owners strip back an original kitchen with asbestos kitchen removal, or clear fibro walls from a rear extension through asbestos wall removal. Old wood heater and gas heater flues are also common here, given the cooler climate in the eastern suburbs, and we handle them with our asbestos flue removal service.

Many older houses nearby are being replaced with townhouses and units, so pre-demolition clearing is a regular job. Builders and demolition contractors usually need asbestos dealt with before the site is handed over, so booking early helps avoid holding up the rest of the project. We can inspect, quote and schedule the removal to suit your timeline. We also work in older offices and shops around the Ringwood activity centre.

Council and nearby areas

Ringwood is in the City of Maroondah. We work throughout Heathmont, Croydon, Mitcham and Warranwood. Asbestos is not accepted in household bins or council hard waste, so it must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site that is permitted to accept it.

Before you start

Test first, plan second. It is not possible to tell asbestos from modern fibre cement by eye. In Victoria, friable asbestos and non-friable asbestos over 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed removalist. Aussie Asbestos Solutions is Australian owned, fully licensed, EPA (Victoria) registered and has over 25 years of experience. Get a free quote or ring 0410 336 410.

Buying an older home in Ringwood

Ringwood’s post-war houses on generous blocks appeal to buyers who want room to renovate. Many of these homes still have original bathrooms, eaves, ceilings and heating, so it is sensible to think about asbestos before you commit to a renovation budget. A standard building inspection may note suspected asbestos but will not usually confirm it.

Our asbestos inspection looks through the house and outbuildings and identifies materials that are likely to contain asbestos, along with their condition. Where you need certainty, asbestos testing confirms what a sample contains. With that information you can:

Work out which renovation jobs will need licensed removal
Get more accurate quotes from builders
Plan the order of trades so removal happens first

If you have just settled on an older Ringwood property, it is also a good time to note where asbestos is so family members and tradespeople do not disturb it by accident. Get a free quote and we can arrange a time that suits your settlement date.

Asbestos removal in Ringwood: common questions

Is an old wood heater flue in my Ringwood home likely to contain asbestos?

Flues installed before the mid 1980s were often made from asbestos cement, and they are common in older Ringwood homes where wood and gas heaters were popular. If you are replacing the heater or roof, have the flue checked first. We can remove it safely along with any related sheeting around the ceiling or roof penetration.

Do you clear asbestos before a townhouse development in Ringwood?

Yes. Many older houses in Ringwood are being knocked down for units and townhouses, and asbestos must be identified and removed before demolition. We work with owners, builders and demolition contractors to inspect, remove and dispose of the material, and an independent clearance inspection can be arranged once the removal is complete.

Should I get an asbestos inspection before buying a house in Ringwood?

If the house was built before the mid 1980s and you plan to renovate, it is worth considering. An inspection identifies materials likely to contain asbestos and notes their condition, which helps you estimate renovation costs. Access before settlement depends on the vendor and your contract, so speak to your agent or conveyancer about arranging it.

My Ringwood building report says possible asbestos. What next?

A building report can note that a material looks like asbestos, but it cannot confirm it by eye. The next step is testing a sample of that material. If it is asbestos and you plan to disturb it, licensed removal may be needed depending on the type and amount. If it is in good condition and left alone, it may not need to come out.

Are 1960s eaves in Ringwood houses usually asbestos?

Eaves linings on many Ringwood homes built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were made from asbestos cement sheet. Not every one is, as other products were also used. Testing a sample is the only way to be sure. If you are replacing gutters or reroofing, have the eaves checked first so they are not damaged during the work.
