What an assessment gives you

An assessment is a room by room inspection of a home, shack or workplace, producing a report that lists where asbestos is, what condition it is in and what to do about it. Unlike a single sample, it covers the whole property.

The report lets you plan renovation, budget for removal and tell tradespeople what they will meet.

Who it suits

  • Buyers of pre-1990 houses in Halls Head, Falcon, Coodanup or similar older areas.
  • Owners about to renovate a kitchen, bathroom or laundry.
  • Landlords and holiday-let owners who want a record.
  • Businesses with older sheds or workshops.
  • Anyone planning demolition.

How an assessment runs

  1. 1Request an assessment through the quote form and describe the property.
  2. 2An independent assessor inspects every room, roof space, eave and outbuilding.
  3. 3Suspect materials are sampled and sent to a laboratory.
  4. 4You get a written report with photos, locations and risk ratings.
  5. 5The report can be used to request removal quotes.

Safety and regulations

In Western Australia a Class A licence covers every type of asbestos, friable material included, while a Class B licence covers non-friable (bonded) material only. Bonded work over 10 m² needs a licensed removalist. The current rules sit on the WorkSafe WA asbestos licences page.

Householders may remove up to 10 m² of non-friable asbestos under the household exemption. That is a legal threshold, not a recommendation to do it yourself, and it never applies to friable material. The 10 m² counts the whole project, so a job cannot be split into smaller pieces to stay under it.

Class A work also needs an independent licensed assessor to carry out air monitoring and the clearance inspection. Read WorkSafe WA guidance on asbestos removal and disposal before you commit to any plan.

Employers and landlords have separate duties to manage asbestos in the workplace, and a written register is a common way to show it.

What affects assessment cost

Residential assessments typically sit between $300 and $800+.

  • Size of the property and number of outbuildings.
  • Number of samples sent to the laboratory.
  • Whether the roof space is easy to enter.
  • Whether a register or just a report is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Residential assessments typically cost between $300 and $800+, driven by property size and the number of laboratory samples.

No. Standard building and pest inspections do not identify or sample asbestos, so a separate assessment is needed.

Testing confirms one or two materials, while an assessment surveys the entire property and produces a report.

For a home built before 1990 it is wise to, because it gives you a negotiating figure and a clear removal budget.

A written report from an independent licensed assessor is generally accepted as evidence, but check requirements with the organisation concerned.

The site visit is usually a few hours, and laboratory results add a few working days before the final report is issued.
