Is it legal to pressure wash fibro in Queensland?
No. It is illegal to use a high pressure water blaster on asbestos cement roofs, fences and walls (Qld asbestos rules). Asbestos was used in building until the late 1980s, in things like fibro (Qld asbestos guidance).
Homeowners can be fined up to $10,000 and must pay for the clean-up. Businesses may face bigger fines.
Why is pressure washing fibro dangerous?
A water blaster breaks up the surface of asbestos cement and spreads the fibres widely. That puts your health, and your neighbours' health, at risk.
Fibro walls and roofs in good shape are not a health risk unless they are disturbed (Qld asbestos rules).
How do I know if my house has fibro?
Check when it was built. If a Queensland house was built before 1990, it is likely to have some asbestos cement sheeting in it.
The Qld asbestos guidance page has posters that show where it is found, inside and out.
What should I do about dirty fibro?
Don't clean it. Queensland's advice is to put on a fungicide and a sealant instead. A paint or hardware store can tell you which product to use.
Will you wash my fibro house?
No. We don't wash fibro walls, roofs or fences at all. Our booking form asks if your home was built before 1990 and if it has fibro, so we know before we come.
Not sure? Say so. We would rather ask than guess.
