Where can I find asbestos in my home or on my property?

Asbestos could be present in any area of your home, building or property, including both indoors and outdoors.

Asbestos is most commonly found in building materials such as:

  • Asbestos Cement Sheeting/ Fibro Board
  • Vinyl Floor Covers
  • Electrical Boxes
  • Asbestos Corrugated Roofs
  • Fireplaces
  • Heating Systems & Flues
  • Old Boilers/ Water Heating Systems
  • Window Putty
  • Popcorn Ceilings
  • Insulation
  • Asbestos Roof tiles, Felt and Shingles

And is often found in rooms such as laundries, bathrooms, kitchens, as well as electrical boxes and external walls and ceilings. This is due to the versatile nature of asbestos – it has insulative and heat and water resistant properties, which means that it was used for a variety of applications.
