About Asbestos
Asbestos was a popular building material in the 20th century. Most buildings constructed or renovated between 1945 and 1990 will have used asbestos.
If your home was built before 1990 and up to 2003 it’s safest to assume it has asbestos somewhere. The same general rule applies to farms and rural properties.
Asbestos sheeting and asbestos cement might be found in a wide range of products and places including: cement roofing, gutters and downpipes, fencing outbuildings like gardens sheds and kennels, the outdoor toilet, cladding for walls and ceilings, backing for tiles and kitchen splashbacks, underneath carpet or vinyl flooring, insulation in roofs and conduits and electrical meter boards.
