Do newer North Lakes homes contain asbestos?

Homes built after the national ban at the end of 2003 shouldn't contain asbestos in their original materials. Older sheds, imported products or buried fragments can still be an issue, so testing is the only way to be sure.

How quickly can you come out?

We're available 24/7 for emergencies. For planned work, we'll arrange an inspection time that suits you once you've submitted the intake form or called us.

Which council covers North Lakes?

North Lakes is in the City of Moreton Bay. Council can advise on disposal if you're removing a small amount yourself. When we do the removal, we handle transport and disposal.

Do I need to leave home during removal?

For most bonded asbestos work outside the home, you won't need to leave, but we'll ask you to keep doors and windows closed and stay clear of the work area. For internal or friable removal, we'll tell you in advance if you need to vacate.

Does my North Lakes property contain asbestos?

North Lakes is a master-planned community developed largely from the late 1990s onwards, so many homes here were built around or after Australia's national asbestos ban at the end of 2003. Homes built after the ban shouldn't contain asbestos in their original materials, but that doesn't mean the area is asbestos-free. It can still turn up in:

older homes and acreage properties in surrounding established suburbs such as Kallangur, Dakabin and Deception Bay
sheds, garages and fences that are older than the house next to them
older commercial and retail premises
broken or buried fibro fragments on vacant, semi-rural or previously developed land

From real Alliance jobs

Suspected asbestos cement sheeting under the tiles, seen from the roof space.
Solar mount penetration on a metal roof, identified as the leak point.
Collapsing water-damaged ceiling, isolated and treated as hazardous until tested.

If a property was built or altered before 1990, assume it may contain asbestos until it's been tested. If your home is newer but you've found suspicious sheeting or fragments, get it checked before you disturb it. Our asbestos testing and inspection service gives you a clear answer.
