Asbestos Removal in Corio
Corio's housing estates went up from the late 1950s onwards, so many homes there were built or renovated before 1990 and may contain asbestos. We test it, remove it and dispose of it for Corio households, with an itemised quote up front and the EPA Waste Tracker record when we're done.

What that means for your home
Building over two decades means Corio has a mix of homes from the late 1950s through the 1970s, and many have had bathrooms, kitchens or back rooms updated along the way. Victorian Government guidance treats homes built or renovated before 1990 as likely to contain asbestos (Asbestos in Victoria).
So if you're about to renovate, put in solar or replace a fence, it pays to check first. Sound material that's left alone isn't usually urgent.

We notify WorkSafe Victoria at least 24 hours ahead for 10 square metres or less of non-friable (bonded) asbestos, and at least 5 days ahead for all other removal, including any friable asbestos (WorkSafe Victoria). On the day we remove it safely and leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Everything is wrapped, transported with EPA Waste Tracker paperwork (EPA Victoria) and disposed of at a licensed facility, with an independent clearance where required (WorkSafe Victoria).
Common questions
Victorian Government guidance says homes built or renovated before 1990 likely contain asbestos (Asbestos in Victoria). A sample analysed by a NATA-accredited lab is the way to know for a specific material.
Victorian workplace rules allow only limited unlicensed removal of non-friable asbestos: no more than 10 square metres in total and no more than 1 hour of work in any 7 days (WorkSafe Victoria). Homeowners should get advice for their own situation and use a licensed removalist (Asbestos in Victoria). Most sheds are bigger than that.
Drysdale Landfill takes household asbestos in loads no larger than a 6 x 4 trailer, booked by phone at least 1 hour ahead (City of Greater Geelong). Fees and rules can change. Always call before you go.
Your itemised quote, the EPA Waste Tracker record (EPA Victoria), and a clearance certificate where one is required (WorkSafe Victoria).
