Residential Asbestos Services in Tasmania

0407 828 333

Homes

We check homes for signs of Asbestos and other hazardous materials. Once a positive identification has been established, we can consult with you on what to do next.

Flats

Any flats that have been affected by Asbestos or other hazardous materials need to be checked before tenants occupy the premises. We can help with that service.

Garages

Sometimes, garages are overlooked when checking for Asbestos because they are deemed not as important as residential areas. To be safe, garages should be checked.

Sheds

Storing belongings in a place that is filled with Asbestos can be potentially dangerous. If a shed needs to be demolished, it should be inspected first for health and safety reasons.

Out-Buildings

Many out-buildings are several decades old, which means that they are likely to contain Asbestos. Consult with our experts about possible solutions for your property.

FAQs About Residential Asbestos Services


When it comes to asbestos in and around the home, safety and clarity are essential. Below are some common questions we receive here at Asbestas from homeowners and property buyers in Tasmania regarding our residential asbestos services. These answers aim to help you understand when, why, and how to take action.

  • What Is Involved in an Asbestos Survey for a Residential Property?

    An asbestos survey involves a thorough visual inspection and sampling of building materials suspected to contain asbestos. These materials are tested in a certified laboratory, and a detailed report is provided, outlining the location, condition, and type of asbestos present within your property. Pre-purchase asbestos building inspections often include this process to ensure buyers are aware of any health risks before finalising a sale.

  • Do I Need a Pre-purchase Asbestos Building Inspection Before Buying a Home?

    Yes, pre-purchase asbestos building inspections are highly recommended when buying a home, especially if it was built before the late 1980s. These inspections help identify potential risks and provide crucial information that could affect renovation plans, health and safety, and even property value.

  • How Do I Know if My Shed, Garage, or Outbuilding Contains Asbestos?

    If your outbuilding was built before the 1990s, there is a good chance it may contain asbestos materials such as roofing, wall sheeting, or insulation. A licenced asbestos survey can confirm its presence and help you plan safe repairs, removals, or demolitions.

  • Can Asbestos in My Home Be Safely Removed?

    Yes, but asbestos removal must be done by trained professionals. Depending on the amount and condition, we may recommend encapsulation or full removal. In Tasmania, strict regulations apply, so it’s important to work with a licenced contractor like Asbestas to ensure safety and compliance.

  • How Long Does a Residential Asbestos Survey Take?

    Most residential asbestos surveys can be completed within a few hours, depending on the size of the property and number of structures involved. After the inspection, samples are analysed in a lab, and results with recommendations are typically provided within a few business days.

Why You Need an Asbestos Survey in Tasmania for Your Home

Many of Tasmania's charming residential properties were built during an era when asbestos-containing materials were standard in construction. From fibro sheeting in homes to insulation and roofing, these materials can be found in houses, flats, and outbuildings across the state. If your home was built before 1990, there is a significant chance it contains asbestos, making a professional asbestos survey not just a good idea, but a crucial step for responsible homeownership. As a Tasmanian homeowner, ensuring your property is safe is a top priority.
