Asbestos in Marrickville homes and garages
Marrickville and its neighbours are mostly Federation and interwar cottages, semis and terraces, many with a garage or shed opening onto a rear lane. The original houses predate most asbestos products, but garages, sheds, back extensions and bathrooms built or redone between the 1950s and 1980s often contain fibro or corrugated asbestos sheeting.
Our Tempe job is a good example: the asbestos was in the external cladding and corrugated roof of an extension, not the house itself. In Marrickville, it was the cladding on a single garage.
The area also has older warehouses and light industrial buildings around Marrickville, St Peters and Sydenham. A workplace from before the end of 2003 is expected to keep an asbestos register, and we handle commercial asbestos removal as well as homes.

What we do in the southern Inner West
Lane garages and sheds
Single garages, workshops and sheds on rear lanes, clad in fibro or roofed with corrugated sheeting. When the structure is being replaced, we strip the asbestos and can demolish the rest. Garage asbestos removal.
Extension roofs and cladding
Corrugated asbestos roofs and flat sheet cladding on rear extensions and sunrooms, like our Tempe job. Fragile roof sheets are never walked on. Asbestos roof removal.
Bathroom and kitchen strip-outs
Wet-area linings, splashback sheeting and old vinyl floors, taken out before your renovation so the trades can start in a cleared room.
Access when the driveway is too narrow
In Marrickville our vehicles couldn't fit down the driveway, so the site was set up around it. Sealed waste is carried out and driven to a licensed asbestos landfill.
Sampling
Unsure what a sheet or floor tile is made of? We take samples for a NATA-accredited laboratory and give you the result before any quote for removal. Asbestos testing.
Clearance certificates
Jobs over 10 m² end with an independent clearance inspection. Our Tempe job finished with a third-party clearance certificate. About clearance certificates.

How a Marrickville job runs
Inspection. We check the material, the lane or driveway access and where the truck can go, then put a quote in writing. Untested material is sampled first.
Notifications. SafeWork NSW is notified at least five days before licensed work starts, and the neighbours are told too.
Work area. We fence and sign the area, lay plastic and set up a decontamination point.
Removal. Each sheet is dampened and unfixed rather than broken, then wrapped and sealed.
Tip. The sealed waste is driven to a licensed asbestos landfill, and the docket comes to you.
Clearance. An independent third party checks the area and issues the certificate.

Marrickville asbestos questions
What Inner West owners ask us before a job. Call 0452 224 398 with anything else.
It depends on the square metres, the material, the access from the lane or street, and whether the structure is coming down as well. We quote in writing after a free inspection.
Yes. We check the lane width and where the truck can stop at the inspection, and plan the job around it, as we did on a Marrickville garage where the driveway was too narrow.
Left alone and in fair condition, it is low risk. Weathered sheets become brittle, and breaking, cutting or water-blasting them releases fibres. Never walk on one, and never pressure-clean it.
Sometimes. Sealing sheeting that is in good condition and will not be disturbed is a recognised option. If it is damaged, or you plan to renovate, removal is usually the better choice. See how encapsulation works.
Yes. We remove asbestos from commercial and light industrial buildings as well as homes. Check the asbestos register for an older workplace before any work starts.
NSW law lets a homeowner remove up to 10 m² of bonded asbestos without a licence, if it is done safely and disposed of legally. Above that, a licensed removalist must do it. We are happy to quote small jobs too.
