If your Kambah home was built between 1974 and the mid-1980s there is a very high chance that it may contain asbestos-containing products.
Kambah’s first residents moved in during 1974, and the suburb grew rapidly throughout the 1970s—a period of peak asbestos usage in Australian construction. Common locations in Kambah homes include fibro roofs, eaves, fences, bathroom walls, garage linings, and textured ceilings.
Houses built in Kambah between the mid-1980s and 1990s may also contain asbestos products. Whereas houses built after 1990 rarely have asbestos-containing products, although it doesn’t hurt to check.
Kambah was significantly affected by the “Mr Fluffy” loose-fill asbestos crisis, with 103 homes identified—the highest concentration in the ACT. While these homes have been addressed, this history highlights how widespread asbestos use was throughout the suburb.

A date and plan of action is set after testing
As professional removalists we understand that you might have concerns regarding the removal process. Which is why we ensure clear lines of communication, that your questions are answered satisfactorily and that everybody is aware of the methodology.
Before work commences, neighbours are informed of our intention to work on your premises.
Good preparation is crucial for everyone’s well-being, e.g. isolating the areas where asbestos will be removed from other rooms and/or buildings. Our staff understands the importance of preparation and the effect it might have on your premises, which is why they’re equipped with the right safety gear and modern work tools.
Once the area is prepared and ready, our staff will be focused on sensitively removing the asbestos materials in accordance with all relevant legislation.
Although in some cases it will be safer and more economical to leave and treat existing asbestos products through our asbestos encapsulation service.
From outdoors to indoors, our staff has both the short and long-term health of their clients in mind. This is why all relevant floors will be covered with heavy-duty plastic sheeting. Neither the resident nor the visitors can be present during the removal process.
Disposal of the removed asbestos is done using WasteLocate from Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to track the asbestos from start to finish, and as proof that it is disposed of at approved waste management facilities.
