What that means for your home
A suburb that grew this quickly in the 1950s has a lot of homes from the same era, and plenty have been extended or updated since. Victorian Government guidance says homes built or renovated before 1990 likely contain asbestos (Asbestos in Victoria).
That doesn't mean every house has it, and it's never a reason to panic. It means it's worth knowing what you've got before you drill, cut or knock anything down. Our asbestos testing gives you written results from a NATA-accredited lab.

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.
