What comes up in Hornsby

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.

Eaves and roofing on an occupied house

Most Hornsby asbestos work is on a house someone is living in, which changes the containment and the hours rather than the material.

How it is handled
The work area sealed and separated from the occupied part, removal under controls, then independent clearance before anyone uses the space again.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, with an independent assessor for clearance.

Material found behind later renovation work

Hornsby stock has frequently been renovated, and covering the original sheeting was the usual approach at the time.

How it is handled
The survey opens up what a visual inspection cannot reach, samples are taken, and the scope is written from the result rather than from appearances.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists working to the survey.

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.

Hornsby

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • A lot of pre 1990 construction Across the older streets, which puts identification at the front of most jobs.
  • Eaves, roofing and wet area linings The usual places bonded material is found in stock of this era.
  • Renovated houses Where original material was covered rather than removed, so it is still there behind the newer work.
  • Occupied houses Which changes the separation, the monitoring and the hours.

Hornsby blocks range from flat ridge top lots to steep sites falling into the gullies, and that affects how material is carried out and where a skip or truck can stand. On an occupied house the sequence matters more than the access: the work area is sealed, the removal is done under controls, and independent clearance comes before anyone moves back in.

What we do in Hornsby

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Hornsby questions

What people ask before we start

Do I have to move out while asbestos is removed?
It depends on what is being removed and where. Small bonded jobs in a contained area can often be done with the house occupied; friable work and larger bonded removals generally cannot. The answer comes from the inspection.
Who issues the clearance certificate?
An independent licensed asbestos assessor, not the removal contractor. That independence is the point of it, and it is arranged as part of the job.
Why can two nearby blocks be completely different digs?
Because the Wianamatta Group forms the ridges along the highway corridor while Hawkesbury Sandstone is exposed in the gullies between them. A block on the ridge is usually in shale derived clay; one falling into a gully is as likely to be in sandstone.
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.
