Asbestos is still commonly found in older Brisbane homes, especially during renovations, knockdown rebuilds and property upgrades.
​
At 1300 Demolition, we provide asbestos removal services across Brisbane, helping homeowners and builders safely manage asbestos before construction, demolition or renovation begins.
​
Many Brisbane properties built before 1990 still contain asbestos materials, making professional inspection and removal essential before any renovation or demolition project begins.
Asbestos Risks in Brisbane Properties
Brisbane has a large number of older homes, particularly in suburbs with post-war housing, where asbestos-containing materials are more commonly found.
​
These materials are often discovered during renovations, knockdown rebuilds and demolition projects, making proper identification and removal essential before any work begins.
​
Asbestos may be present in:
​
-
Wall sheeting and internal linings
-
Eaves and soffits
-
Roofing materials
-
Bathrooms and laundries
-
Vinyl flooring and adhesives
-
Garages, sheds and fencing
​
Disturbing these materials without proper handling can release hazardous fibres into the air, creating serious health risks.
​
For this reason, asbestos removal in Brisbane should always be carried out by trained and experienced professionals using appropriate safety procedures.
