If you've found, damaged or need to remove suspected asbestos at your Hobart property, please don't cut, drill, sand, pressure-clean or move it. Disturbing asbestos is what releases the fibres that make it dangerous. Leave it where it is and talk to us first.
Hobart has a mix of heritage homes, post-war weatherboard and fibro houses, brick veneer homes from the 1960s to 1980s, and countless renovations and extensions. Asbestos turns up in fibro cladding, eaves, wet-area linings, vinyl flooring, and in the flues, heaters and hot water systems that keep older homes warm through Tasmanian winters. WorkSafe Tasmania advises that if a house, garage, shed or commercial building was built or renovated before the 1990s, it probably contains some form of asbestos. Asbestos was banned nationally from 31 December 2003.
Southern Tasmania's winter storms, strong winds and bushfire risk can all damage older asbestos materials. After a bushfire or house fire, bonded asbestos can become brittle and friable, making it much more hazardous. Left intact and in good condition, most asbestos poses a low risk. The danger comes when it's broken, weathered, drilled or cleaned the wrong way.
