As an industry, we need to keep talking about asbestos, because the risks are still very real for the people working around it every day.

One of our own local sparkies, Andrew Winder, knows all too well the devastating effects asbestos exposure can have.
Andrew is now fighting not only for his livelihood and his future, but also to raise awareness of the dangers of asbestos and help prevent others from facing what he is going through.
His story is a powerful reminder that asbestos doesn’t care what trade you’re in.

“Asbestos is asbestos. The hazards are the same regardless of whether the person encountering it is carrying a hammer, a pipe wrench, a paintbrush, or a multimeter.”
— Andrew Winder

Whether you're an electrician, plumber, builder, painter, maintenance worker or anyone else working in older buildings, asbestos awareness matters.
We wanted to share Andrew’s story, help spread his message and ask our industry to do the same, especially those in positions to influence change and help take this conversation beyond our own region.

Andrew’s story is a reminder that this isn’t just about regulations or workplace procedures. It’s about real people, real lives and the consequences that can last a lifetime.

Read his story. Share his story. Start the conversation.

Because the more people who understand the risk, the better chance we have of preventing someone else from facing the same outcome.

Two decades on, Andrew Winder is terminally ill with sarcomatoid mesothelioma — an aggressive form of cancer affecting the lining around the lungs — and is calling for employers and policymakers to ensure people entering the trades learn how to recognise asbestos risks before encountering them on the job.

🚨 Power Outage 🚨

Unfortunately, due to the current power outage, we've closed our office!
The guys are still on the road working hard, and all appointments are kept! ❄️

In the meantime... I'm just over here with frozen fingers, no computers, and cold coffee! 🥶⚡

Thanks for bearing with us!

💡 Today, the real boss utisilised her sick day and blessed us with her presence, popping in to keep an eye on the team and make sure everything was running smoothly.

🔌 While she was here, she had a wee read of the article in Business South Magazine too… page 63, FYI 👀

🦷 After a thorough inspection,
(and loosing a tooth in the middle of mum booking a job!) she off home, very satisfied with the team’s performance.
