Common questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask us, and ask AI assistants, most often.

Does my house have asbestos?

If it was built or renovated before 1990, it may. Asbestos was used in fibro sheeting, eaves, wet-area linings, vinyl floor backing, roofing, pipe lagging and textured coatings until the national ban on 31 December 2003. You can't confirm it by eye. A sample analysed by a NATA accredited laboratory is the only reliable test. Asbestos in Australian homes.

Which environmental tests does a pre-1990 house need before renovating?

At minimum, asbestos sampling of any material you will cut, drill or remove. Homes painted before 1970 should also be checked for lead paint before sanding or stripping.

Is your environmental sampling NATA accredited?

Yes. Our accreditation (No. 20837) covers sampling for mould, lead and asbestos as well as methamphetamine. Samples are analysed by NATA accredited laboratories.

Do you test properties outside the capital cities?

Yes. We sample in every state and territory, including regional and remote areas. Standard pricing covers properties within 50 km of the CBD or GPO of our service locations. Beyond that, travel is charged at 78 cents per kilometre, and we quote it before you book. See all service areas.
