ASBESTOS Q&AS
Frequently asked questions.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that is highly heat-proof as well as being resistant to water, electricity and chemicals. Because of these properties, it was widely used throughout the 1900s in construction materials such as wall-linings, roofing, insulation, vinyl flooring (or ‘lino’) and fencing.
These qualities may have made asbestos the building material of choice in the post-war housing boom, but it’s also these qualities – or rather its fibrous crystalline structure – that led to its ban in Australia in 2003.
When broken down, asbestos releases tiny, microscopic particles into the air that we can neither see, taste, smell or touch and once those particles enter our lungs they can leads to dangerous and even fatal lung-related diseases.
How do I know if my walls, roof or house contains asbestos?
It’s estimated that a third of all homes in Australia contain asbestos or asbestos-containing materials. Chances are that if your house was built or renovated before 1987, that your house will most likely contain asbestos.
The only way to know for sure if your property contains asbestos is to conduct a test on the material or have a licensed asbestos removal specialist such as Asbestos Eliminator inspect the property for you.

What do I do if I think I may have asbestos in my property?
It is important to treat all suspected asbestos with caution due to the health dangers associated with asbestos. Do not disturb, break up or expose any materials you suspect may contain asbestos and contact an asbestos removal specialist like Asbestos Eliminators for a free inspection and quote for removal.

Can I remove asbestos myself?
In Australia there are strict rules around the removal of asbestos and licences may be required to remove asbestos.
Though it is not recommended to remove asbestos yourself due to the huge health risks asbestos presents, no licences are required to remove up to 10m2 of ‘non-friable’ (or asbestos fibres reinforced with a bonding compound) asbestos or asbestos-containing material according to Safe Work Australia.
For removal of ‘friable’ asbestos (or asbestos that can be crumbled or turned into a powder by hand) or non-friable asbestos over 10m2 you will require a licensed asbestos removal professional or company such as Asbestos Eliminator.
