Why You May Need an Asbestos Register or HAZMAT Survey on the Central Coast

You may be legally required to have an asbestos or hazardous materials register if:

• Your building was constructed before 2004

• The premises is a workplace (e.g. commercial, industrial, council, or government use)

• You are planning renovation, demolition, or maintenance works

• You are buying, selling, or leasing a commercial property

• Council, SafeWork NSW, or certifiers have requested documentation

On the Central Coast, many older buildings — from Tuggerah to Umina — still contain asbestos, lead paint, or other legacy hazardous materials. Whether you manage a single shopfront or multiple sites across the region, we help you stay compliant with NSW law and protect workers, contractors, and occupants.

Our Services – Clear, Compliant Hazardous Materials Assessments

We provide fast, tailored survey and reporting services across the Central Coast for businesses, government, and property professionals.

1. Asbestos Surveys & Registers

We inspect and document asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in line with the NSW WHS Regulation 2017 and SafeWork’s How to Manage and Control Asbestos Code of Practice.

• Management surveys for day-to-day WHS compliance

• Refurbishment/demolition surveys before building works

• Inspection of roofs, ceilings, walls, floors, pipe lagging, switchboards, gaskets, and adhesives

• Bonded and friable asbestos identification

• ACM location maps and high-quality photographic records

• ACM condition ratings, risk levels, and reinspection guidance

• Legally compliant Asbestos Register and optional Management Plan (AMP)

2. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Surveys

We also assess other common building hazards still found in older Central Coast properties:

• Lead-based paint (e.g. window frames, trims, walls)

• PCBs in light fittings or old switchboards

• Synthetic Mineral Fibres (SMF) in ceiling or pipe insulation

• Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) in older air-con and fire systems

All materials are assessed for condition, location, exposure risk, and removal recommendations. Laboratory testing is included where sampling is required.

3. Multi-Site and Commercial Property Compliance

We assist with asbestos and HAZMAT registers for:

• Retail, commercial, and industrial premises

• Council and government buildings

• Schools, aged care, and healthcare facilities

• Strata and real estate portfolios

Whether you manage a shop in Gosford, a warehouse in Somersby, or public buildings across the Coast, we offer fixed-fee quotes and fast turnaround to keep you compliant and project-ready.
