Is Your Property Asbestos Free?

Prior to 1985, asbestos was widely used in the Australian building industry. It is highly likely that all houses built before 1985 contain asbestos material.

The use of asbestos was banned in Australia in 2003, but if your property was built before 1990, it is possible that there is some form of asbestos present.

When inhaled, asbestos fibres can become trapped in the lungs, leading to serious potential health risks and conditions.

Full Asbestos Inspections in Brisbane and South-East Queensland are essential to ensure your property is asbestos-free.

Asbestos Building Inspections

An asbestos building inspection offers vital protection for property owners, occupants and workers by identifying potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and assessing their condition. Early identification helps prevent harmful asbestos exposure, which can pose serious long-term health risks if left unmanaged.

At Palisco, our inspections are conducted by qualified professionals who understand the importance of both safety and compliance. We help you meet your obligations under Queensland’s asbestos regulations and maintain a safe, healthy environment, whether in a residential, commercial or industrial setting.

By pinpointing the location and condition of any ACMs, asbestos inspections support informed decision-making when it comes to renovation, demolition or long-term property management. Each inspection includes a clear, easy-to-understand inspection report outlining potential risks and recommended actions.

Asbestos Clearance Inspection

A written clearance certificate is issued after an audit or inspection is completed. This confirms the area is safe for reoccupation after asbestos removal, ensuring no residual fibres remain.

Common Asbestos Locations To Inspect

Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in many parts of Australian homes built before 1990. If you’re unsure whether a suspected material contains asbestos, it’s safest to assume it may. You should have it tested by professionals like Palisco before disturbing or renovating it. 

Here are the most common areas where asbestos may be found in buildings located in Brisbane and South East Queensland:

  • Roofing and roof insulation: Especially in older homes with corrugated asbestos cement sheeting or loose-fill insulation.
  • Eaves, soffits and gables: Often made from asbestos cement sheeting.
  • Ceiling linings and tiles: Including decorative ceiling panels or backing for electrical fixtures.
  • Wall sheeting and internal cladding: Particularly in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens.
  • Vinyl floor tiles and backing: Some adhesive or backing materials may contain asbestos.
  • Bathroom walls and splashbacks: Commonly lined with asbestos sheeting due to moisture resistance.
  • Fencing and external materials: Often made from “fibro” sheeting, which commonly contains asbestos.
  • Garages and sheds: Many older outbuildings were constructed using asbestos cement sheeting.
  • Flue pipes and ventilation ducts: Asbestos was used for its fireproof qualities.
  • Electrical meter boards and backing panels: Due to their heat-resistant properties.

Asbestos Inspections Brisbane & South-East QLD: FAQs

What is an asbestos property inspection, and why is it important?

An asbestos inspection and removal service begins with a thorough property assessment conducted by qualified professionals to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This process is essential for ensuring the safety of occupants by detecting and addressing any potential asbestos hazards through safe and compliant removal if necessary.

How long does an asbestos property inspection take?

The duration of asbestos inspection services can vary based on the size and complexity of the property. Typically, residential property inspections take a few hours, while larger or more complex commercial properties may require additional time to complete a thorough assessment.

Who should consider getting an asbestos inspection?

Property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants should consider testing for asbestos in the home through a professional asbestos property inspection, especially if the property was built before the 1990s when asbestos use was widespread. This is essential for ensuring safety in both residential and commercial properties.

What happens during an asbestos property inspection?

During an inspection, qualified inspectors will visually assess the property for any signs of asbestos-containing materials. They may also collect samples for laboratory analysis if necessary. The findings will be documented in a comprehensive report.

What should I do if asbestos is found during the property inspection?

If asbestos-containing materials are discovered during the inspection, it’s crucial not to disturb or attempt to remove them yourself. Instead, seek advice from licensed asbestos removal professionals like Palisco Asbestos Removal and Demolition to develop a safe and effective remediation plan.

What is an asbestos clearance and why is it important?

An asbestos clearance is a formal inspection conducted after asbestos removal work has been completed. A licensed asbestos assessor or competent person inspects the area to ensure that all asbestos-containing materials have been safely removed and that the site is safe for reoccupation. Clearance certificates are essential to meet legal requirements and protect the health of anyone entering the property after removal work.

What is an asbestos register?

An asbestos register is a legally required document that lists all identified or assumed ACMs in a workplace or commercial property. It includes details such as the location, type, condition and accessibility of the asbestos. 

Under Queensland’s Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, any workplace built before 31 December 2003 must have an up-to-date asbestos register if asbestos is present or likely to be present. 

The register helps ensure that anyone working on or around the property is aware of potential asbestos risks and can take appropriate precautions.
