Serving Gloucester
Postwar neighbourhoods with real asbestos history
Gloucester was its own city before 2001, and its postwar and 1960s-70s neighbourhoods are some of the more established housing stock in Ottawa’s east end, alongside newer residential and light-industrial development. Older Gloucester homes are a common source of the calls we get for vinyl floor tile and pipe insulation testing, since both materials were standard in that construction era. We treat commercial and light-industrial properties in Gloucester the same way – a proper assessment before any demolition or renovation work.
Serving both sides of the community
Postwar homes and newer builds, one process
Gloucester’s mix of postwar housing and newer development means asbestos risk varies street to street. We assess each property individually rather than by neighbourhood age alone.
Why Gloucester property owners choose us

From century-old homes to newer builds, we assess your Gloucester property on its own merits, not a neighbourhood-wide assumption.

Every job accounts for Ontario Regulation 278/05's requirements for the specific material and classification involved.

Asbestos testing and removal throughout Gloucester
Gloucester was an independent city until the 2001 Ottawa amalgamation, with substantial postwar and 1960s-70s residential development.
Vinyl floor tile and pipe insulation, both common asbestos-containing materials, were standard in that construction era and remain common finds in older Gloucester homes.
Gloucester also includes light-industrial and commercial properties from the same era, which face the same Ontario Regulation 278/05 survey requirement before renovation or demolition.
Gloucester asbestos questions
What kind of asbestos materials show up most in Gloucester?
Vinyl floor tile and its adhesive, along with pipe insulation in older mechanical rooms, are the most common finds we run into in Gloucester's postwar and 1960s-70s housing stock.
Do you handle Gloucester's light-industrial and commercial buildings?
Yes. We serve both residential and commercial properties across Gloucester, including light-industrial buildings from the same construction era.
Is a survey required before renovating an older Gloucester building?
If the building predates 1990 and the work will disturb suspect materials, yes – Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires a designated substance survey first.
