Asbestos in Footscray Homes
Footscray blends Victorian and Edwardian workers’ cottages with post-war housing and, more recently, extensive renovation and gentrification. While the original brickwork often predates asbestos cement, the rear additions, sleep-outs, bathrooms, laundries, eaves, and flooring added through the mid-to-late 20th century frequently contain asbestos that surfaces once renovation work begins.
Footscray Jobs We Commonly Handle
- Rear addition and lean-to removal
- Bathroom, laundry, and kitchen strip-outs
- Eaves, soffit, and fascia removal
- Vinyl floor and backing removal
- Shed, garage, and fence removal
- Pre-renovation testing and reporting
Careful Work in Established Suburbs

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service Footscray and the surrounding inner-western suburbs?
Yes. We service Footscray, Seddon, Yarraville, and the wider City of Maribyrnong in Melbourne's inner west, subject to job scope and scheduling.
Where is asbestos found in Footscray homes?
Even in older Victorian and Edwardian homes, asbestos commonly appears in later additions — rear extensions, bathrooms and laundries, eaves, vinyl flooring, sheds, and fencing added or renovated before 1990.
Can you test before we renovate in Footscray?
Yes. Testing or inspection before work starts helps identify suspect materials before trades cut, drill, sand, or demolish them.
