Strongly not recommended - serious concerns about licensing, safety and workmanship…read more Our builder engaged Asbestos Watch to remove friable asbestos, which under Queensland law requires a Class A licence. They provided a quotation for this work but, upon later verification, did not appear to hold an active Class A licence at the time. Documentation lodged with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (QWHS)--specifically Form 65--identified only non-friable asbestos and listed a Class B licence, despite the work involving friable material. The removal work was subsequently found to be inadequate, leading to further contamination of the property. This finding has been confirmed by an independent asbestos assessor's report. Following these issues, Asbestos Watch provided a clearance certificate that contained no verifiable licence details or assessor qualifications. The entity named on the certificate could not be confirmed, raising doubts about the document's validity. As a result, builders, subcontractors and our own team attended a site that had not been adequately cleared of asbestos, creating a potential risk of exposure to friable asbestos fibres. This situation raised serious health and safety concerns and, in our view, reflected a failure to exercise proper care and compliance. We understand that QWHS has issued an enforcement notice to address these issues, which, at the time of writing, has not been actioned. The cost to undertake proper remediation is now estimated to be more than double the original quote. Based on our experience, we have serious concerns about the company's competence, transparency and compliance. I would strongly advise others to reconsider engaging this business.

Lumen 8 (as the name suggests) is a shop dedicated to beautiful architectural lighting. Their extensive range is current, unique and is sourced from both leading european brands and great local Australian and NZ designers. The showroom is stuffed full of true works of lighting art, unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures but a glance at their online catalogue will leave guarantee to leave you lusting after everything. The staff were friendly and knowledgable and the space itself is modern, clean and really lets the products speak for themselves. Perfect for renovators (or poor students with a dream), Lumen 8 is well worth a visit when Valleyside.
