Asbestos in Rydalmere homes
Rydalmere's residential streets date from the late 1940s and 1950s and carry the asbestos-cement cladding, eaves and outbuildings typical of that period. Alongside them sits an industrial estate developed from the same era, where warehouses and workshops were roofed and clad in large-format corrugated asbestos cement that is now brittle and unable to bear weight.
If you occupy or manage an older Rydalmere industrial unit, you have duties that a homeowner does not. A workplace with asbestos present needs a register, and anyone doing work that could disturb it has to be told where it is.
We can produce or update that register as part of an inspection, which is usually the cheapest way to stop the same question being asked at the start of every trade job.

Asbestos removal in Rydalmere — 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.
