The bedroom count does not measure the eaves
A short, low run of soffits is a different job from a long verandah with high gables. We measure the actual material, check how it is fixed and agree whether the job covers the whole perimeter or only some sections.
Eaves and soffits are the first item on the Better Health Channel list of common Victorian asbestos locations.
Read the Victorian home asbestos guidanceLength, height and access
More eaves mean more handling and wrapping. Height can call for scaffolding or a work platform, and garden beds, trees and narrow side passages affect where equipment and waste can go.
Condition matters too. Intact sheets are simpler than brittle or storm-damaged linings.
Check whether gutters are in the scope
Some older gutters and downpipes are asbestos cement, others are metal or plastic. We identify which you have and state what the quote covers.
Replacement soffits, gutters and paint are quoted separately by your builder or roofer.
Roof and eaves together
If the roof is coming off too, mention the eaves at the first visit. Booked for the same visit, they need only one independent clearance inspection.
Ask us to price the whole project before agreeing to separate asbestos jobs.
