Asbestos was used in over 3000 building products before 1990. If you think you have found asbestos in your property, treat it like it is. Before renovating or demolishing a property that may contain asbestos, talk to a licensed asbestos assessor. They can identify asbestos-containing materials and provide advice on removal.

If your home or commercial building was built or renovated before 1990, it may contain asbestos.
You can’t tell whether a product contains asbestos by looking at it.
A licensed assessor can:
Inspect your property for asbestos materials and provide a report
Get samples tested
monitor the air for asbestos fibres
do clearance inspections after asbestos removal to check for contamination
issue clearance certificates for the removal of asbestos.
SafeWork NSW publishes a list of licensed asbestos assessors.
The cost of an inspection depends on the size of the property.
A pre-purchased Asbestos Home Inspection by a licensed inspector is around $400.
