Footscray's older homes and later changes

Older homes may have later extensions and renovations with asbestos materials. The original walls and the rear additions can be quite different, so each part may need its own inspection and sample.

In July 2025, WorkSafe confirmed the cleanup of the 2018 Tottenham and West Footscray chemical fire site, including licensed asbestos removal. It is an update about one site and says nothing about homes. Source: WorkSafe Victoria: site cleanup update
How a Footscray removal works
Point us to the area
Say whether it is original or part of an extension. Extensions and renovations may use different materials.
We assess in person
A licensed removalist inspects the suspect areas and advises on lab sampling.
Contained removal
The material is wrapped on site and taken away, with notice given to WorkSafe Victoria first.
Final check
Independent clearance happens where required, so the home can be used again with a record.
