Templestowe homes from the 1960s to the 1980s

Templestowe was once an area of orchards, and large parts of it were subdivided for housing from the 1960s through to the 1980s. The result is a suburb full of spacious brick veneer and project homes on generous blocks. Houses built up until the mid 1980s may still contain asbestos cement, even when the outside is brick, because the product was widely used for eaves, wet areas and internal linings behind the scenes.

Places we check in Templestowe homes include:

Eaves linings around the whole roofline
Bathroom, ensuite and laundry walls behind tiles
Vinyl flooring and underlay in kitchens and family rooms
Heater flues and ducting from older heating systems
Pool sheds, garden sheds and fencing

Some homes on the larger blocks near the Yarra valley also have older outbuildings left over from the orchard days, and these can include asbestos cement roofing or walls. Their age and construction are often unknown, so we test before any demolition begins.

Renovation driven removal

A lot of these homes are now 40 or more years old and ready for updating. That brings steady demand for asbestos work tied to renovations. Families replacing ensuites and main bathrooms use our asbestos bathroom removal service, while owners replacing ducted heating or a wood heater often need asbestos flue removal first. Where eaves are being replaced during a reroof, the linings are removed by our asbestos wall and eaves removal team. Pre-demolition clearing is also common as older homes make way for new builds.

Before you book the builder

If you are renovating in Templestowe, a little preparation goes a long way. Arrange testing of any suspect sheeting or tiles, then book removal ahead of other trades. Do not drill, sand or cut suspect material. Under WorkSafe Victoria rules, friable asbestos and more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos need a licensed removalist, and all waste must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a site permitted to accept it.

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

Sheds, pools and landscaping on large Templestowe blocks

Templestowe’s generous blocks often come with more than just a house. Many properties have garden sheds, pool houses, carports, pergolas and fences that were built at the same time as the home, and some still have outbuildings from the area’s orchard years. These structures were frequently roofed or clad in asbestos cement, and they are easy to forget when planning a renovation.

Garden work can also turn up surprises. Broken fibro was sometimes used as fill, buried under paths or left behind sheds when they were rebuilt. If you are putting in a pool, new garden beds or retaining walls, stop digging if you find old sheeting and have it tested.

Asbestos removal in Templestowe: common questions

Can a brick veneer house in Templestowe contain asbestos?

Yes. The brick outer skin does not contain asbestos, but homes built before the mid 1980s often used asbestos cement for eaves, bathroom and laundry linings, and flooring underlays. Many Templestowe homes date from the 1960s to 1980s, so testing any internal sheeting or eaves before a renovation is a sensible first step.

Should I remove asbestos eaves before reroofing my Templestowe home?

It often makes sense. Reroofing and gutter replacement can crack or disturb eaves linings, and scaffolding is already in place. Having the eaves tested and, if needed, removed by a licensed team before the roofer starts keeps the job safer and avoids delays if asbestos is discovered halfway through.

I found broken fibro while digging in my Templestowe garden. What should I do?

Stop digging and keep people and pets away from the area. Lightly cover the pieces with plastic if they might be disturbed, but do not break them up or sweep them. Have a sample tested. If it is asbestos, we can collect the fragments, check the surrounding soil area visually and take the waste to a permitted site.

Can you remove an old orchard shed on a Templestowe property?

Yes. Older outbuildings in Templestowe can have asbestos cement roofs or walls, and their construction history is often unknown. We inspect and test the shed first, then remove any asbestos before the rest of the structure is demolished. The waste is wrapped, labelled and taken to a site that is permitted to accept it.

Does asbestos need to be cleared before building a pool in Templestowe?

If the pool area includes an old shed, fence or paving laid over broken sheeting, it is best to deal with that first. Excavation machinery can crush asbestos cement and spread it through the soil. An inspection of the area before work starts helps your pool builder plan the job safely.
