Why Springvale homes are so likely to contain Asbestos
Built in the peak asbestos era
Springvale’s population quadrupled in the decades after World War II, with rapid housing-estate development from the early 1960s replacing the old market gardens and unserviced subdivisions. That post-war-to-1980s window is precisely when asbestos cement was the standard building material across Australia — used in fencing, roofing, external cladding and wet-area wall sheeting. So the very homes that make up much of established Springvale were built in the era most likely to contain asbestos.
A suburb that’s been renovated for decades
Springvale has also been a suburb of home renovators for a long time — families buying those post-war brick-veneer and weatherboard homes and improving them over the years. Renovation is the single most common way asbestos gets disturbed: pulling tiles off a bathroom wall to find Tilux behind them, cutting into fibro cladding, taking down an old shed. If you’re renovating a pre-1990 Springvale home, testing before you start is the safe move — and if you’re unsure what a material is, our guide on how to tell if something is asbestos runs through the signs.

When you need a licensed removalist in Springvale
Under Victorian law, an unlicensed person can only remove non-friable asbestos if it’s 10 square metres or less and takes under one hour in any seven-day period. Most real jobs — a fence line, a roof, a shed, a wall — are well past that, and legally require a WorkSafe Victoria licensed removalist. Any friable asbestos requires a Class A licensed removalist regardless of size. We hold a Class A licence and handle the notification, removal, disposal and clearance to the compliance code. The exact DIY limits are set out in our guide to removing asbestos yourself in Victoria.

FAQ
Do you service all of Springvale?
My Springvale home is from the 1960s — does it have asbestos?
How much does asbestos removal cost in Springvale?
It depends on the material and the job — fences, roofs, sheds and cladding all price differently. We publish real ranges on each service page and give a fixed on-site quote. Testing a sample first is usually $80–$150. Our asbestos removal cost guide breaks down every job type.
Do I need testing before renovating my Springvale home?
If it predates 1990 and the work disturbs walls, floors, ceilings or eaves, yes. Bathrooms are the classic trap because Tilux asbestos board often sits behind the tiles. We can test the material before you start.
