asbestos is more common than you think
we take the guess work out, so you can continue working safely
roofing
Asbestos was widely used in roofing materials due to its strength and weather resistance. It’s commonly found in asbestos cement roofing sheets, shingles, and soffits, particularly on homes built or renovated before the early 2000s. While these materials are relatively stable when intact, they can release harmful fibres if cracked, drilled, or deteriorating with age.
flooring
Many older homes contain asbestos in vinyl floor tiles, backing materials, and adhesives. These products were valued for durability and fire resistance, but over time they can become brittle or damaged. Disturbing flooring during renovations—lifting tiles or sanding surfaces—can release fibres if asbestos is present.
walls & ceilings
Asbestos was commonly used in wall linings, ceiling panels, textured coatings, and insulation products. It may be hidden behind plasterboard, in fibre cement sheets, or within older decorative finishes. Any cutting, drilling, or demolition work in these areas can disturb materials and pose a risk if proper identification and controls are not in place.
appliances
Asbestos was often used in and around older appliances for heat resistance, including hot water cylinders, heaters, and pipe lagging. It can be present in insulation wraps, gaskets, and backing boards. When these systems age or are removed without proper handling, asbestos fibres can be released, making professional assessment and removal essential.
