Services / Asbestos Inspections

Asbestos property inspections.

Whole-property assessments — pre-purchase, pre-renovation, and compliance surveys. Walk-through, sample, NATA-lab confirmation, written report. And if anything needs to come out, the same licensed team can handle the removal.

When you need an inspection

  • Pre-purchase — homes built or last renovated before 1990. Know what you're inheriting before you sign.
  • Pre-renovation — before walls come down, ceilings come off, or a roof gets stripped, get the ACM mapped so the work can be scoped properly.
  • Pre-demolition — required by most builders/demolishers before they'll quote.
  • Commercial workplace — to populate or update an Asbestos Register (see also our audits service).
  • Condition reassessment — ACM identified earlier needs periodic re-inspection to confirm it's still intact.

What's covered

Residential

Pre-purchase, pre-renovation, post-storm condition surveys. Roofs, eaves, internal sheets, wet-area linings, vinyl tiles, fences, outbuildings. Typically 2–6 samples plus full walk-through report.

Commercial

Workplace identification surveys for Asbestos Register purposes. Office, retail, strata, industrial-light buildings. Coordinated with property managers and body corporate, scoped to satisfy the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld).

Asbestos inspections — FAQs

What's the difference between an inspection and a test? +
An inspection is the walk-through assessment of a whole property — every room, the roof, the eaves, fences, outbuildings — identifying every material that looks like ACM, photographing, mapping locations, and judging condition. A test is the lab analysis of a single sample. Most inspections include 2–6 samples (each tested) plus the written report tying it all together.
Do I need a pre-purchase asbestos inspection? +
If you're buying a home built before 1990 in Queensland, almost certainly yes. ACM was used in eaves, wall cladding, roofing, internal sheets, and floor tiles right up until the mid-1980s. A typical building & pest inspection will note 'suspected ACM' but won't sample or certify. Our inspection gives you a quantified picture — what's there, how much, what condition — before you sign.
How long does an inspection take? +
A standard 3–4 bedroom home is typically 1–2 hours on site. Larger or commercial sites scale up. Lab results for any samples come back 3–5 business days after the visit; the full report follows once the lab results are in.
What does the report contain? +
A written report with photographs, a location-by-location materials register, condition ratings, sample results from the NATA lab, and recommendations — what's safe to leave in place, what should be removed, and what should be re-inspected periodically.
If you find asbestos, can you remove it too? +
Yes. We hold both A-Class and B-Class removal licences, so if the inspection identifies material that needs to come out, the same team can scope and carry out the removal, disposal, and clearance. There's no obligation — plenty of material is intact and safe to manage in place, and we'll tell you so if that's the case. But if removal is the right call, you don't have to line up a separate contractor.
