Why Southern Gold Coast Homes are at Risk
Suburbs such as Burleigh and Coolangatta include many 1970s apartment complexes and unit developments. During this era, asbestos-containing materials were widely used in fire doors, waterproofing membranes, and decorative finishes like vermiculite popcorn ceilings. Renovations, refurbishments, or even routine maintenance in these units can disturb these materials and release asbestos fibres if they are not identified first.
High-density living adds complexity because units share walls, ceilings, and common areas. Asbestos disturbances in one unit can affect neighbouring residents. Body Corporate approvals are often required before testing, and independent identification ensures materials are safely managed without affecting the building’s structure. Accurate testing and clearance protect residents, workers, and property owners while maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

Common Questions from Southern Gold Coast Locals
Does my popcorn ceiling contain asbestos?
Many popcorn ceilings from the 1970s contain asbestos. Testing is the only way to confirm whether asbestos fibres are present.
Do I need Body Corporate approval before testing?
Yes. In shared buildings, approval is usually required for asbestos testing to access common areas and unit boundaries safely.
Can you inspect fire doors in holiday units?
Yes. We assess fire doors and other asbestos-containing materials in holiday units, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance without affecting the building structure.
