Why Asbestos Is Still a Risk on the Central Coast

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used in residential and commercial buildings across the Central Coast up until the late 1980s. Today, many structures still contain asbestos in materials such as:

  • Corrugated cement roofing and eaves

  • Wall linings and ceiling panels

  • Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives

  • Wet area sheeting in bathrooms and laundries

  • Garage walls, fences, and cladding

  • Pipe insulation and lagging

  • Contaminated soil or fill from historical dumping

When disturbed, these materials can release dangerous airborne fibres that can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. The only way to know for certain is to have materials professionally tested.

2. Asbestos Inspections & SafeWork NSW-Compliant Asbestos Registers

If your property was built before 2004 and is used as a workplace, commercial site, or public building, a formal asbestos register is legally required.

We deliver comprehensive asbestos inspections and produce SafeWork NSW-compliant asbestos registers for:

  • Commercial and industrial buildings

  • Schools, healthcare, and aged care facilities

  • Real estate and strata portfolios

  • Construction and demolition sites

  • Property managers and developers

What’s Included in an Asbestos Register?

A compliant register includes:

  • On-site inspection by a qualified consultant or Licensed Asbestos Assessor

  • Identification of known or presumed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)

  • Documentation of location, condition, friability, and risk rating

  • Floor plans and photographic documentation

  • Laboratory test results (if sampling is required)

  • Records of previously removed, sealed, or enclosed asbestos

  • Guidance on reinspection intervals, ongoing management, or removal

All registers comply with the SafeWork NSW Code of Practice: How to Manage and Control Asbestos in the Workplace (2022).

Who Needs an Asbestos Register?

  • Workplaces built before 31 December 2003

  • Commercial premises undergoing renovation or demolition

  • Sites lodging Development Applications (DAs)

  • Real estate and strata-managed properties

  • Business owners and commercial landlords

3. Asbestos Removal Support, Air Monitoring & Clearance Inspections

If asbestos removal is required, we provide independent support and oversight — ensuring safety, legal compliance, and peace of mind.

Our Removal Support Services Include:
