OUR RESTORATION PROCESS

Safe & Reliable Asbestos Identification

Asbestos exposure can cause severe health issues if disturbed or left unidentified. Victoria Hygiene follows a controlled, compliant testing process to safely detect asbestos-containing materials and help property owners make informed decisions before renovation or demolition work begins.

Here’s are the steps we follow for asbestos testing:

Step 1

Initial Site Assessment

Once your booking is confirmed, our certified technicians visit your property to assess areas suspected of containing asbestos. We identify high-risk materials commonly found in older buildings, such as wall sheeting, ceilings, roofing, flooring, and insulation, while ensuring safety measures are followed during the inspection.

Step 2

Safe Sample Collection

Small samples are carefully collected from suspected materials using approved safety procedures to prevent fibre release. The sampling area is controlled, and protective equipment is used throughout the process to minimise exposure risks to occupants and surrounding environments.

Step 3

Laboratory Testing & Analysis

Collected samples are securely packaged and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for microscopic analysis. The lab identifies the presence, type, and concentration of asbestos fibres, providing accurate and reliable results in compliance with Australian safety standards.

Step 4

Reporting & Risk Assessment

Once results are received, we prepare a detailed asbestos testing report outlining findings, material locations, and risk levels. The report also includes clear recommendations for management, removal, or ongoing monitoring based on the condition and type of asbestos identified.

Step 5

Compliance & Final Clearance

Our team explains the results and guides you on the safest next steps, whether it’s asbestos removal, encapsulation, or ongoing management. We also assist with documentation required for workplace safety compliance, renovations, insurance, or property transactions.

Asbestos exposure can pose serious long-term health risks if not properly identified and managed. We at, Victoria Hygiene ensure suspected materials are safely tested and accurately analysed—helping protect occupants, contractors, and property owners from hidden asbestos hazards.

If required, our team can also guide you through the next steps, including asbestos removal coordination, compliance documentation, and post-removal clearance support.

QUICK TIPS

What to Do If You Suspect Asbestos

Asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in buildings constructed before the late 1980s. Disturbing these materials without proper testing can release harmful fibres into the air. If you suspect asbestos in your property, follow these precautions:

Avoid Suspected Materials: Do not drill, cut, sand, or break asbestos materials, as it can release fibres.
Limit Access to the Area: Restrict entry to the suspected area to reduce exposure, especially for children, elderly occupants, and pets.
Do Not Attempt DIY Removal: Asbestos removal without proper licensing and equipment is unsafe and illegal in many cases. Always rely on certified professionals.
Arrange Professional Testing: Schedule asbestos testing before renovations, demolition, or repairs to confirm whether asbestos is present and determine safe next steps. If asbestos is confirmed, contact Victoria Hygiene for professional guidance and compliant removal solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Asbestos Testing Questions Answered

What is asbestos testing?

Asbestos testing involves collecting samples from suspected materials and analysing them in accredited laboratories to confirm the presence and type of asbestos fibres.

When should asbestos testing be done?

Testing is recommended before renovations, demolition, or repairs in older buildings, or when materials show signs of damage, ageing, or deterioration.

Is it safe to stay in a property with asbestos?

Asbestos is generally safe if undisturbed. However, damaged or disturbed materials can release fibres that pose serious health risks, making testing and proper management essential.

How long does asbestos testing take?

On-site sampling usually takes less than an hour. Laboratory results are typically available within 24–72 hours, depending on urgency.

Do you provide reports for compliance and insurance?

Yes. We provide detailed asbestos testing reports suitable for compliance, insurance claims, property sales, renovations, and workplace safety requirements.

Do you also offer asbestos removal services?

Yes. We assist with safe, compliant asbestos removal through licensed professionals, guiding you through the entire process from testing and reporting to removal coordination and site clearance.
