National Asbestos provides testing, bonded asbestos removal and disposal in Coburg. Period houses can contain asbestos in later additions, garages and renovated wet areas, so the construction date of each affected section matters.
Period homes with later additions
Coburg’s housing includes older cottages and interwar homes alongside newer infill in Merri-bek. The rear of a property can tell a different construction story from the front. Cement sheet laundry walls, enclosed verandahs and garages added during the twentieth century deserve attention before an extension or strip-out.
On a tight block, the removal route may pass through a side path close to neighbours or an occupied room. Give us the layout before dates are fixed. A planned work area is especially important when builders need to retain parts of the house and continue work after removal.
Before your Coburg renovation
- Identify the age and extent of the rear addition
- Check suspect garage, laundry and eave sheets
- Explain whether a rear lane or shared passage is available
Use testing and inspection to resolve uncertain materials. A photograph helps locate and scope them, but cannot establish asbestos content or justify disturbing a suspect sheet.
