Why You Need an Asbestos Inspection in Newcastle
Newcastle’s rich industrial and construction history means asbestos was commonly used in homes, buildings, and commercial properties right up until the early 2000s. If you're planning any form of renovation, demolition, or property sale, an asbestos inspection is not only essential — it may be required by law.
We help you:
Identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before work begins
Avoid fines and legal issues with local councils and SafeWork NSW
Keep your team, tenants, and family safe from asbestos exposure
Ensure a smooth Development Application (DA) or pre-purchase process

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does an asbestos inspection involve?
We conduct a visual inspection of the site and collect samples of any suspect materials. These are analysed by a NATA-accredited lab, and we provide a clear report outlining our findings.
Q: Is asbestos inspection required before renovation?
Yes — if your property was built before 1990, you should assume asbestos may be present. An inspection is essential before disturbing any building materials.
Q: How long does the inspection take?
Most inspections take around 1 hour onsite, and results are available in 2 business days (or same-day by request).
Q: Can you test for asbestos in walls and floors?
Yes. We commonly test wall sheeting, vinyl floor tiles, tile adhesives, ceilings, and eaves.
Q: Do you offer asbestos registers for workplaces?
Absolutely. We provide compliant asbestos registers and management plans for commercial and industrial sites.
