What We Do

Professional Asbestos Removal Services

At Asbestos Removal NZ Ltd, we specialise in safe, compliant, and efficient asbestos services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across the Lower North Island.

A-Class (Friable) Asbestos Removal

Class A asbestos removal refers to the licensed removal of friable asbestos — any material containing asbestos that can be crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friable asbestos poses a significantly higher health risk due to its ability to release airborne fibres easily.

Common examples

Pipe lagging, insulation boards, sprayed coatings, textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles

What this includes:

Strict containment using 200-micron polythene sheeting
Negative air pressure units to prevent fibre spread
P3 respirators and Type 5/6 coveralls for all personnel
3-stage decontamination unit for workers and equipment
WorkSafe NZ minimum 5-day notification before work begins
Independent clearance assessor on completion

B-Class (Non-Friable) Asbestos Removal

Class B asbestos removal covers the removal of bonded (non-friable) asbestos, which is asbestos material mixed with a bonding compound like cement or resin. These materials are more stable and less likely to release dangerous fibres into the air unless disturbed, cut, or damaged.

Common examples

Asbestos cement cladding, corrugated roofing, Decromastic roof tiles, vinyl flooring, eaves

What this includes:

Full WorkSafe NZ compliance throughout
Approved asbestos waste bags — double-lined and labelled
Safe transport via Croft Combined Carriers
Disposal at approved facilities (Silverstream and Spicer landfills)
Transparent, detailed quotes before work begins
Minimal disruption to your property or tenants

Asbestos Sampling & Testing

Asbestos sampling and testing is the process of identifying the presence and type of asbestos in building materials through professional sample collection and accredited laboratory analysis. It is a critical first step before any renovation, demolition, or asbestos removal work.

Common examples

Pre-renovation surveys, pre-demolition surveys, asbestos management plans, health and safety audits

What this includes:

Professional sample collection by a qualified inspector
Accredited laboratory analysis — fast turnaround
Clear, plain-language results report
Independent and unbiased — no conflict of interest
Provides a fair basis for comparing removal quotes
$200 per site visit including 1 sample; $85 per additional sample

Encapsulation & Containment

Encapsulation and containment are specialised asbestos management techniques used to safely control asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are in good condition and not immediately requiring removal. These methods are often used as interim or long-term solutions to reduce the risk of asbestos fibre release.

Common examples

Commercial buildings, industrial sites, rental properties, heritage buildings

What this includes:

Assessment of material condition before treatment
Application of penetrating or bridging encapsulants
Physical containment where appropriate
Documented management plan for ongoing monitoring
Compliant with WorkSafe NZ guidelines
Cost-effective alternative to full removal in suitable cases

Safe Disposal

Safe disposal is the final and critical step in asbestos management, involving the secure handling, transport, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) at approved waste facilities. This process ensures that asbestos does not pose a health risk to workers, the public, or the environment.

Common examples

Post-removal waste, building demolition waste, renovation debris containing ACMs

What this includes:

All waste securely double-bagged in approved asbestos waste bags
Clearly labelled in accordance with regulations
Transport handled by Croft Combined Carriers
Disposal at Silverstream and Spicer approved landfills
Full documentation and waste tracking records provided
Compliant with local and national regulations
