Where Asbestos Is Commonly Found in Wollongong Properties
Wollongong homes and buildings constructed or renovated before the early 2000s may contain asbestos. It is often uncovered during renovations, knock-down rebuilds and pre-demolition inspections.
If you aren’t sure whether asbestos is present in a material, do NOT cut, drill or disturb it. When damaged, asbestos fibres may become airborne. Our team will arrange a professional inspection, then explain the outcome and advise you of your options.
Common asbestos-containing materials include:
- Roof sheeting, eaves, gutters and downpipes
- External wall cladding and internal wall linings
- Wet-area sheeting in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens
- Vinyl floor tiles, backing and older adhesives
- Fencing, garages, carports and garden sheds
- Soffits, ceiling products and pipe lagging in older commercial or industrial sites
Types of Asbestos We Remove
Asbestos materials are either non-friable (bonded) or friable, with each type requiring different handling methods and levels of control. House Demolition Wollongong is licensed and equipped to remove and dispose of both safely.
Non-Friable (Bonded) Asbestos Removal
Non-friable asbestos is combined with cement or other binding agents. It is, therefore, more solid and commonly found in Wollongong roofing, wall sheets, eaves, fencing and some floor tiles. While it is relatively stable, older materials, storm damage or poor DIY work can release fibres and create serious health risks.
Our bonded asbestos services include:
- Removal of sheets and products with minimal breakage
- Use of wet methods and hand tools to reduce dust
- Secure wrapping, labelling and transport to licensed NSW facilities
- Suitable solutions for renovations, bathroom strip-outs and demolition preparation
Friable Asbestos Removal
Friable asbestos is dangerous for you, your family and your neighbours. It can be easily crushed or crumbled, allowing fibres to become airborne.
Friable asbestos should never be handled by unlicensed operators. Our team has personal protective equipment (PPE), plus they are well-trained and have the licences to carry out the work.
Our friable asbestos removal process includes:
- Class A licensed procedures for high-risk materials
- Full enclosure of work areas with negative pressure systems if required
- Air monitoring and decontamination zones for worker and occupant safety
- Strict compliance with SafeWork NSW asbestos removal requirements
