Asbestos in Mayfield's older homes

Mayfield grew from estate subdivisions in the 1800s, then saw rapid growth in worker housing around the opening of BHP in 1915 (Mayfield heritage walk).

Today the streets mix workers' cottages and early detached homes with larger Victorian-era houses. Many were extended and re-sheeted over the decades, so fibro often turns up in back verandahs, wet areas, eaves, fences and sheds.

Heritage homes and renovation

Mayfield House, completed in 1884, is one of the suburb's best known heritage places (City of Newcastle). If your home is heritage listed or in a heritage area, check with the City of Newcastle before major work.

Renovating an older cottage? Licensed removalists notify SafeWork NSW at least 5 calendar days before friable work or bonded work over 10m² (SafeWork NSW), so build that into your builder's timeline.
