Is There Asbestos Hiding in Your Wollongong Property?
Asbestos was widely used in construction materials across Wollongong until the early 1990s, especially in older homes, fibro cottages, and industrial buildings. It can still be found in ceilings, eaves, garages, wall linings, wet areas, and roof sheeting. When disturbed, asbestos materials release microscopic fibres that can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis if inhaled.
Asbestos removal is not just about home improvement; it’s a legal requirement for safety and health. Any removal work over 10m² must be carried out by a licensed contractor, and friable asbestos requires strict controls and air monitoring throughout the process.
At Rosemont Contractors, we handle everything from testing to final clearance certification, all backed by NATA-accredited laboratories and fully insured teams.

Samples are tested in a NATA-certified laboratory to confirm if the asbestos is bonded or friable, ensuring the correct class of removal license is applied.
