Residential asbestos removal is the safe removal, packaging, transport, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials from Victorian homes. National Asbestos focuses on non-friable residential materials such as fibro, roofing, eaves, fencing, sheds, and renovation-related asbestos risks.
Residential Asbestos Removal in Victoria
National Asbestos helps homeowners, renovators, landlords, and property managers remove asbestos-containing materials before renovation, demolition, sale preparation, or urgent repair work. The priority is to isolate the risk, remove the material without releasing fibres, and make sure the waste is handled lawfully.
What We Remove
We safely remove all types of non-friable asbestos commonly found in Victorian homes:
- Asbestos cement sheeting (fibro walls, ceilings, cladding)
- Roof sheeting and shingles
- Eaves, soffits, and fascia boards
- Vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring
- Bathroom and laundry linings
- Asbestos fencing (super six)
- Garage, shed, and carport materials
- Water pipes and flue pipes
- Backing boards and splashbacks
When You Should Call
Call before you disturb suspect materials in a home built or renovated before 1990. Asbestos can be present behind later renovations, so testing or professional assessment is the safest first step if you are planning a bathroom renovation, roof replacement, fence removal, shed demolition, or pre-sale repair.

Cost and Timing Factors
