Asbestos in Bexley homes
Bexley was built out mainly between the 1910s and the 1930s in Federation and inter-war bungalows and semis, with post-war infill and a substantial layer of 1960s and 1970s walk-up flat buildings along the main roads. Asbestos cement appears on the houses as detached garages, rear laundries, sleep-outs, eaves lining and dividing fences added from the 1940s, and in the flat buildings as communal laundry and drying-room linings, service cupboards and carport roofing.
Two kinds of client ring from Bexley. One is a homeowner with a fibro garage or laundry to clear before a rebuild. The other is a strata manager who has been told the block’s laundry lining is asbestos and needs it dealt with properly.
The strata work is the more procedural of the two. It needs a scope the owners’ corporation can approve, notice to residents, and a schedule that keeps people out of the laundry for the shortest possible time rather than for a fortnight.
House jobs here are shaped by block size. Bexley blocks are reasonable but the houses sit forward on them, so the garage is usually at the very back with a long carry to the street.
Where a fence is included, we would rather do both sides at once with the neighbour’s agreement. Half a fence removed is half a fence still there.

Asbestos removal in Bexley — common questions
Do I get documentation showing it was disposed of properly?
Yes. Asbestos is a regulated waste stream in NSW, so it has to be wrapped, labelled, transported and received at a facility licensed to accept it. You receive the disposal documentation with your invoice. On friable or Class A work you also receive the clearance certificate issued by a licensed asbestos assessor.
How do I know for certain whether it is asbestos?
You cannot tell for certain by looking at it, and neither can we. Only a NATA-accredited laboratory can confirm the presence of asbestos, by analysing a sample under AS 4964-2004. We refer you to a licensed asbestos assessor, who collects the sample safely and has it analysed, and you get the laboratory's written result. Be wary of anyone offering an instant on-site result — that is an opinion, not an analysis.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Most residential jobs are done in a single day. A garage roof or a fence run is usually a few hours; a full house strip-out or friable removal with air monitoring and a clearance certificate takes longer, because the area has to stay isolated until the clearance is issued. We give you a realistic timeframe with the quote rather than after the job starts.
Is there likely to be asbestos in my home?
If your home was built or renovated before the late 1980s, it is likely to contain asbestos somewhere. In Sydney the usual places are fibro wall and ceiling sheeting, eaves, corrugated roofing on garages and sheds, boundary fencing, and the backing under old vinyl floor tiles. Bonded asbestos that is intact and undisturbed is generally stable — the risk comes from breaking, cutting, drilling or weathering it.
