    Asbestos removal for Toowong Queenslanders, unit blocks and offices

    Toowong is an inner-west riverside suburb about 4 kilometres from the CBD, between the Brisbane River and Mount Coot-tha, with Toowong Village as a busy commercial hub and the University of Queensland close by. Its streets mix 19th and early 20th century Queenslanders with a lot of 1960s to 1980s walk-up unit blocks and newer apartments.

    Older timber houses tend to hide asbestos in later changes, like fibro bathrooms, enclosed verandahs, eaves and garage walls, while the older unit blocks can have it in laundries, garages, ceilings, common areas and roof spaces. Asbestos wasn't banned nationally until 31 December 2003, and Toowong's age means a lot of buildings predate it.

    Whether you're restoring a Queenslander, refurbishing a unit or managing a commercial building, T&L can inspect and test suspect material, quote in writing and remove it carefully, with containment, approved disposal and the paperwork body corporates and agents need.

    Tek came within 24 hours (and on a Sunday). I didn’t end up having asbestos and so he didn’t charge me a cent. Lovely guy and very honest. Thanks again Tek!

    I highly recommend anyone that needs asbestos removal to go with Tek and his team over at T & L. Tek was extremely informative and answered any questions I had. Best of all, Tek was very responsive and replied to me as soon as he could. Their prices are extremely competitive (I could not find any asbestos removal companies that were at or near the same price as Tek!). Tek and his team were very punctual the quoting and removal appointments. Tek and his team diligently removed asbestos from our kitchen and bathroom (see photos). There was no mess left behind.

    Where asbestos hides in Toowong properties

    You can't identify asbestos by looking at it. Here's where it most often turns up in Toowong, so you know what to check before any building work starts.

    In homes and sheds

    • Fibro bathroom, laundry and verandah enclosures
    • Wall and ceiling linings in renovated Queenslanders
    • Eaves, soffits and old roof sheeting
    • Garages, laundries and storage areas in older unit blocks
    • Fibro fencing and garden structures
    • Old flooring underlays and vinyl floor tiles

    Often hiding in later additions and in units built before the mid-1980s.

    In shops, warehouses and industrial sites

    • Roof sheeting and cladding on older shops and workshops
    • Ceiling tiles and partition walls in offices and clinics
    • Plant rooms, pipe lagging and switchboard backing
    • Common areas and car parks in older unit and office buildings
    • Material disturbed during fit-outs and refurbishments

    Check before any fit-out, restoration or demolition.

    Think you've found asbestos? Leave it alone. Don't cut, drill, scrub or pressure-wash it, keep people and pets out of the area, and call us on 0423 648 557. We'll explain what to do next and arrange an inspection.

    Toowong asbestos removal: common questions

    Is asbestos common in Toowong Queenslanders?

    It's mostly found in later alterations, such as fibro bathrooms, enclosed verandahs, eaves and garages, rather than in the original timber frame.

    Can you work in occupied unit blocks in Toowong?

    Yes. We contain the work area to protect residents, coordinate with strata managers and provide disposal documentation.

    Do I need to leave the property while you work?

    It depends on the job, but we ask you to stay clear of the work zone. Before we start we'll tell you whether you should be off site for the day.

    How long does an asbestos removal job take?

    A typical house job runs between one and three days including set-up and clean-up, and big commercial sites can run to a week. Your quote includes an estimate.

    Do you service Toowong and nearby suburbs?

    Yes. We service Toowong, Auchenflower, Milton, Indooroopilly, The Gap and the wider inner west.

    What happens to the asbestos after it is removed?

    We wrap or double-bag and label it, transport it in licensed vehicles to an approved facility, and give you documentation showing it was disposed of correctly.

    Can you replace insulation after asbestos removal in Toowong?

    Yes. Once the area is cleared we can remove old cellulose insulation and fit new Earthwool, so one team handles the whole project.
