What comes up in Chester Hill

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Original fibro found behind a renovation

Chester Hill houses have frequently been renovated once, and the common outcome is that the original sheeting was covered rather than removed.

How it is handled
The survey opens up the areas a visual inspection cannot reach, samples are taken, and removal and clearance happen before the structure is touched.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, working to the survey rather than to what is visible.

Post-war house on a regular block

Consistent stock on consistent blocks, which makes the programme predictable once the hazardous materials are out of the way.

How it is handled
Disconnections confirmed, structure down in one run, then the site graded and left clear.
What does it
Midi excavator with a grapple, sized to the side gap.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

Chester Hill

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Original fibro behind later work Eaves, sheeting, wet area linings and vinyl tiles that survived a renovation and were simply covered over.
  • Post-war housing on regular blocks Consistent stock, which makes the survey predictable even though the result still has to be confirmed by sampling.
  • Side access varies street by street And it decides the machine before the structure does.
  • Steady knockdown rebuild activity With duplex conversion on the larger blocks.

Chester Hill streets will generally take a tipper comfortably, and the limiting factor is the side gap on the block. Where a renovation has been built out towards the boundary the usable access is often narrower than the title suggests, which is one of the reasons we look before quoting.

Chester Hill questions

What people ask before we start

The house was renovated in the 1990s. Is the asbestos gone?
Not necessarily. Renovations frequently covered material rather than removing it, so the original eaves, sheeting or wet area linings can still be there behind the new work. Sampling is the only way to know.
Do you need to test if the house is obviously fibro?
Sampling still matters, because the result determines whether the material is handled as bonded or friable, and that changes the controls, the licence class and the clearance requirements.
Do you charge travel to come out to Western Sydney?
No. Western Sydney is one of the two areas we are in most weeks, so there is no travel loading on work here and a site visit is usually easy to arrange.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
