Lisarow: worth knowing before you renovate

Central Coast Council's character statement says the original homes in an older Lisarow subdivision, beside the main road and railway, are mid-twentieth-century timber-framed bungalows clad in simple sheet materials or weatherboards. Many of those lots now carry new brick houses. Sara Lee started Australian production at a new Lisarow factory in 1971. If you'd like help, we refer callers to a licensed asbestos removalist.

“Sheet materials” is the Council’s phrase, and it doesn’t say what those sheets are made of. Only a lab can tell you that, from a sample. If you’re planning to reclad, extend or knock down an older bungalow, have the cladding, eaves and wet-area walls checked first (asbestos testing). SafeWork NSW strongly recommends having a professional collect any sample, rather than doing it yourself, and it recommends a licensed removalist for any amount of asbestos (SafeWork NSW).

When you get in touch, describe the sheeting and where it is, whether outside walls, eaves or a bathroom. An approximate area in square metres is useful. Mention any cracks, holes or crumbling edges, and whether the work is part of a bigger renovation. If a builder is already lined up, tell us their start date so the timing can be worked out.
