The local history below is background only,

not a finding about the materials at your property.

A little Lidcombe history

The railway line through Lidcombe opened in 1855.
The suburb grew strongly in the early 1900s and between the wars,
then with post-war industry.
Weatherboard and brick cottages were recorded in 1917,
alongside War Service Homes.

What that history means for your job

The age of a suburb does not tell you what is in a particular house.

Homes built or renovated before 1990 may contain asbestos,

and only a lab test confirms it. That is why we test before we quote anything

uncertain.

Questions locals ask us

How much will it cost before I buy?

Book an inspection with a written report, from around $250,

before you commit to the property. If a sheet needs confirming, lab testing is

around $110 a sample. The report tells you where the suspect materials are and

what removal would roughly cost, so you can negotiate or plan with real numbers

instead of guesses.

Guide only. We confirm your fixed price in writing after a free on-site quote.

Prices include GST.

Can I remove it myself?

The law lets a person without a licence remove up to 10 m² of bonded asbestos in

total for the job. SafeWork NSW still recommends a licensed removalist for any

amount, and homeowners must never remove friable asbestos.

If you do go ahead with a small bonded piece,

it cannot go in your bin or a council clean-up.

Will my neighbours be told?

Yes. We give your neighbours notice before licensed removal starts, with the

dates and what to expect. Most people just want to know when to close their

windows and where the trucks will park.

Do I get disposal receipts?

Yes. Every load goes to a licensed facility and you get the paperwork.

Loads of 100 kg or 10 m² and over are also tracked through the NSW EPA's

Integrated Waste Tracking Solution, so there is a record from your driveway to

the gate.

Is the free NSW disposal scheme open yet?

Not yet. The NSW EPA announced a free household asbestos collection trial in

July 2026, expected to start in 2027.

It covers collection of small household amounts, not removal,

so it will not take a roof or a wall off for you.

How quickly can you get to Lidcombe?

We call back within 30 minutes of your enquiry during business hours and book an

inspection or quote visit at a time that suits you.
