Asbestos poses serious health risks and must be identified and managed correctly before any renovation, demolition, or ongoing occupation. Building Masters provides professional asbestos inspections as part of our full building inspection service, helping you understand whether asbestos is present and what action may be required. Our inspections are carried out safely, carefully, and with clear reporting so you can make informed decisions without unnecessary alarm.

We have helped many people avoid buying a ‘lemon’ property with hidden defects. We often also help buyers get a significant price reduction.
Asbestos is often hidden within older building materials and can remain undetected until disturbed by renovation or deterioration. Our inspectors are trained to identify materials that may contain asbestos and assess the level of risk based on location, condition, and likelihood of disturbance. This early identification helps protect occupants, trades, and future buyers from avoidable exposure and long-term health consequences.
Asbestos inspections must be conducted carefully to avoid increasing exposure risks, which is why experience and correct procedures matter. Our inspectors follow strict safety protocols during inspections to minimise disturbance and protect occupants and the property. All asbestos assessments are carried out as part of a full building inspection, ensuring findings are placed in proper context rather than viewed in isolation.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear asbestos assessment within your building inspection report, outlining what was identified and what it means for you. This information helps you decide whether to proceed with a purchase, plan safe renovations, or seek specialist removal advice where required. With straightforward reporting and timely delivery, you gain clarity without confusion or delay.
You share the address, timing, and any concerns. We organise the inspection quickly — often within 24–48 hours.
You receive a clear report with photos and practical advice — no jargon, no template padding, no soft conclusions.

Unlike many inspectors in the pre-purchase industry, our team is made up solely of senior, qualified builders with decades of real, on-the-tools experience. We are fully independent, do not work with selling agents, and never provide “soft reports.” Our only responsibility is to give you honest, clear advice that protects your interests.
