Removing Asbestos from Frankston Properties

When Older Building Materials Become Part of Your Frankston Project

Frankston includes established residential neighbourhoods alongside commercial premises, investment properties and other buildings that have undergone additions, repairs and renovations over time. When further property work is planned, older materials may need closer consideration before they are removed or disturbed.

Asbestos-containing materials were historically incorporated into many Australian building products. Their presence cannot be reliably determined from appearance alone, so suspected materials may need to be identified before removal work is arranged.

JD Asbestos Removal works with homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses where identified non-friable asbestos needs to be removed as part of suitable property work.

Our wider Frankston coverage includes Frankston South, Frankston North, Langwarrin, Carrum Downs and Chelsea Heights.

Residential Asbestos Removal for Frankston Homes & Outbuildings

Residential projects are not always limited to materials inside the main house. Depending on the property’s construction and previous improvements, identified non-friable asbestos may also be associated with garages, sheds, exterior areas and other structures.

Our residential asbestos removal in Frankston can assist with suitable identified materials associated with:

• Fibre-cement wall and ceiling sheets
• Eaves and exterior linings
• Garages and sheds
• Older fencing products
• Certain roofing-related materials
• Wet-area building materials
• Other bonded asbestos-containing products

The appropriate removal approach depends on what the material is, where it is located, its condition and the scope of the proposed work.

Renovating an Established Property? Check Suspect Materials First

Renovation can involve removing wall sheets, replacing exterior materials, dismantling an old shed or garage, updating wet areas, or carrying out other work that disturbs existing building products.

This is where identifying suspect materials before work progresses becomes important.

WorkSafe Victoria explains that non-friable asbestos generally consists of asbestos fibres bonded with cement or another hard component, but the condition of the material and how it is disturbed can affect the risk it presents.

If you don’t know whether a material contains asbestos, appropriate identification or testing may be required before removal is arranged.

For further information about the distinction between material types, see WorkSafe Victoria’s guidance on friable and non-friable asbestos.

Non-Friable Asbestos Removal for Identified Bonded Materials

JD Asbestos Removal specialises in non-friable asbestos removal, rather than presenting every type of asbestos project as the same service.

Non-friable asbestos is generally bonded or mixed with a stable cement or other hard component. Examples identified by WorkSafe Victoria include asbestos-cement sheeting, moulded asbestos-cement products and some vinyl floor tiles.

Where non-friable asbestos-containing material has already been identified at your Frankston property, provide the information you have about the material and proposed removal work when requesting a quote.

This allows the project to be reviewed before the appropriate next step is determined.

Commercial Asbestos Removal for Frankston Properties

Frankston isn’t solely a residential service area. Suitable projects may also involve commercial premises, workplaces and other non-residential properties.

JD Asbestos Removal can review commercial asbestos removal in Frankston where identified non-friable asbestos-containing materials need to be removed.

Project requirements can differ according to the building, access, material location and scope of work, so commercial enquiries should include as much information about the property and identified material as possible.

Responsible Asbestos Waste Disposal After Removal in Frankston

Removing asbestos-containing material also creates waste that needs to be managed appropriately.

EPA Victoria states that asbestos waste must be taken to a landfill authorised to receive it, and not every landfill can accept asbestos waste. Different obligations can also apply to asbestos waste generated through commercial and industrial activities.

JD Asbestos Removal manages the asbestos waste generated through our removal work as part of the agreed service.

For official information about Victorian requirements, see EPA Victoria’s asbestos waste disposal guidance.
