Asbestos in Kingswood homes
Kingswood was built out through the 1950s and 1960s as affordable detached housing, and a high proportion of the original stock survives with its asbestos-cement cladding, eaves and garage sheeting intact. Because much of it has been tenanted rather than owner-renovated for decades, the material has generally not been removed during refurbishment the way it has in owner-occupied suburbs.
A lot of the Kingswood work we quote is for landlords and property managers rather than owner-occupiers, usually triggered by damage, a tenancy changeover, or a renovation between leases.
The obligation is the same either way. If asbestos-containing material is disturbed or damaged in a rental property, it has to be dealt with by someone licensed, not patched over before the next inspection.

Asbestos removal in Kingswood — 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.
