Asbestos in Colyton homes
Colyton was developed through the 1960s and 1970s as project housing on regular flat allotments, with asbestos cement used for eaves lining, garage and carport sheeting, laundry walls and boundary fencing. Flat blocks and repeating designs mean the same material appears in the same positions street after street, and long continuous runs of asbestos-cement fencing are the norm rather than the exception.
Shared fences are the awkward part of a Colyton job, because a boundary fence belongs to both neighbours. Removal and replacement usually needs both parties to agree before anything comes down.
We are happy to quote it as a single job across both properties, which is generally cheaper per metre than each side arranging its own contractor for the same run of fence.

Asbestos removal in Colyton — 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.
