If your Hughes residence was built in the 1960s or early 1970s there is a very high chance that it may contain asbestos-containing products.
Hughes holds a special place in Woden Valley’s history as the first suburb established in the district. Work commenced in late 1962, with the first families moving in during 1963. The suburb developed rapidly throughout the 1960s—a period when asbestos was extensively used in Australian residential construction. Common locations in Hughes homes include fibro roofs, eaves and soffits, fences, bathroom and laundry walls, garage linings, and textured ceilings.
As Woden Valley’s original suburb with over 60 years of housing stock, Hughes homes frequently contain asbestos materials that were standard in 1960s construction. This makes pre-purchase inspections and pre-renovation testing particularly important for Hughes properties.

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.
