Why Ipswich Homes are at Risk
Ipswich, including the CBD and suburbs such as Goodna, has a significant number of heritage timber homes and mid-century properties. Many of these homes received asbestos-containing additions during the 1950s, including sleepouts, garages, and shed structures. Asbestos was commonly used in fibro wall panels, ceilings, eaves, and roofing because of its durability and fire resistance. Renovations or maintenance can disturb these materials, creating health risks if testing is not completed first.
Heritage preservation is an important consideration in Ipswich. Many property owners want to maintain original timber walls and architectural features while ensuring safety. Our assessments identify asbestos-containing areas and provide accurate risk information without condemning or unnecessarily altering historic structures. This approach allows homeowners to manage asbestos safely while preserving the character of their heritage homes.
