Concrete asbestos roof tile restorations

Yep. Ceilings and bathroom walls.

 

Yeah, I think mine is like some odd material, that might be it.

 

I don't know what masonite is, but I thought Mr W said it was MDF. I could very well be wrong

 

MDF would be a bit odd wouldn't it?
But who knows what they used to build with. You can find old boxes used inside walls.

 

It might sound like I know what I'm talking about with the MDF this and asbestos that. But actually, I have no idea

 

I might do that as well, although I think I already got a quote from them, although only for what had been identified by someone else I think.

 

Roof got done today. I think it came up really well. I had a leak which was the main impetus for doing so, but the cosmetic result in terms of resale and even value is more than worth it.

The service of the re-style guys was excellent. Quote the next day, resin applied 1 day after I accepted the quote, and repairs and paint within two days of that. The colour bond came up particularly well, to the extent that I might repaint all my colour bond roofs.

I didn't get more than one quote, so no idea if it was expensive, cheap or what not. I liked the service and the girl answering the phone, so they got my business.

 

did they also asphalt the driveway??

 

Sadly not. Are you referring to the price?

 

Haha no, I haven't seen the price, just their standbyedness ready to start your job -No week to get materials, another week to fit you in etc etc then the girl on the phone haha. Thought they might have been gypo's

 

Ha ha. Wasn't quite like that

There were weeks in between where I contemplated

 

I wasn't there, but I think they brushed it, and then applied a resin. The resin apparently binds it all together. I had hoped the resin would be so thick as to mask the transition points between no paint and paint and smooth it all out, but its not quite there.

Pretty sure it was a 10 year warranty, so any issues and it's obviously not a major deal to redo the whole lot.

 

Hey Paul, I've been looking into the ATO asbestos removal link:
Asbestos affected rental properties - income tax deductions | Australian Taxation Office
I spoke to someone who had asbestos removed, then had their IP advertised for rent but didn't find anyone for 2 months, before they gave up and moved back in there themselves.
I've seen wording to the effect of "must be available for rent" after the works.
Well, it seems it was available, just wasn't able to be rented.
What would be the 'claimability' on this?

 

Might be old fashioned, but...
...bump?

 

Doubtful.

Otherwise everyone would simply advertise the property at an unrealistic rental for a couple of months to claim deductions with no intention of actually renting it.

You'd have to be a bit of ning nong with a wish for losing money for realsies.
Would it be worth the risk?
But seriously, if it was rented for a good portion of the financial year, and this scenario occurred during the same financial year, what would differentiate it?
