Q. What if there is asbestos in my walls – will I still be able to renovate?
A. We recommend and provide an asbestos test to all houses built before 1984. We take a small sample and send it off to a lab for testing. If asbestos is found in your paneling then we can organise a licensed asbestos remover to remove the panels in the room being renovated to create a safe environment for both your family & our tradesman.

Q. I have been told that all new bathroom renovations require waterproofing , is this true?
A. Yes, Australian standards regulations require wet areas to be waterproofed (e.g. Bathroom floor, shower floors and internals, splash areas above baths etc.) to be sealed with a waterproofing membrane, including some tiled areas. We use an accredited waterproofer to make sure that all your waterproofing is applied to Australian standards. All waterproofing prevents any future water damage to bathroom walls/floor and neighboring rooms.
