Renovating in Millthorpe
Millthorpe has many older cottages and homes, and plenty of them have been extended or renovated over the decades. Fibro extensions, sleepouts, eaves and wet-area linings from before the late 1980s can contain asbestos. Get suspect material tested before you start. See how testing works.
