Health and Safety Risks of Asbestos in Residential & Commercial Properties
Health Risks
Inhaling asbestos fibre can lead to severe diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Even a small amount of long-term exposure is a health risk to occupants.
Impact on Property Value
Homes with asbestos can have decreased value, fewer interested buyers, and extra remodeling fees. An inspection report allows buyers or sellers to deal with risks upfront and negotiate a price accordingly.
Legal Compliance
Under NSW law, asbestos must be identified, managed, and documented. Failure to comply may result in fines, lawsuits, or cessation of work during construction or tenancy leases.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule an asbestos inspection for my property?
If your house was built before the 1990s, and in particular if it was built before 1987, we highly recommend that you book an asbestos assessment. This is especially valuable if you are planning a renovation, purchasing a new home, or if you have concerns following recent structural or water damage in other areas.
How do I know if my property has asbestos?
A lot of asbestos-containing materials resemble the non-asbestos ones. Only an authorized inspector can properly collect samples and get asbestos testing at a NATA-accredited laboratory. If your home or building is older, assume it could have asbestos until it’s professionally inspected and confirmed otherwise.
What does the inspection process include?
During our inspection, a visual examination of all accessible parts of your property is conducted, suspect asbestos-containing materials are located, and samples may be taken and analysed in a Laboratory. After the asbestos testing, we provide a detailed report that outlines findings, lab results if applicable, risk levels, and our professional recommendations.
What happens if asbestos is found?
If asbestos is detected, we’ll explain your options clearly. Depending on the condition and location of the material, it may require removal, encapsulation, or simply regular monitoring. We’ll also provide referrals to licensed asbestos removalists and ensure all actions taken comply with NSW safety regulations.
How soon will I receive my inspection report?
In most cases, we deliver your asbestos inspection report within 24 to 48 hours of completing the on-site evaluation. If samples are collected, the lab results may take an additional business day. The report includes clear documentation of findings, photographs, and recommended next steps, so you can move forward with confidence.
