Asbestos Survey & Removal Services | Safe Inspection & Testing

Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral with long, extensible fibres that can be spun. Asbestos was extensively used in construction between the 1950s’s till late 90s due to its fire resistance, strength, and thermal insulation properties. Common in homes and business premises built between 1950 to the turn of the millennium, asbestos can be found in sprayed on fireproofing, thermal insulation, textured coatings, vinyl floor coverings, roofing sheets, cement products, and pipe lagging. Asbestos is safe if left alone; however, once it is broken or damaged, asbestos can release tiny fibres, which can lead to serious health implications such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma – resulting in more than 170 deaths a year in New Zealand. Hidden asbestos in old houses often increases risks when properties begin to age.

If you have renovations, maintenance, or demolition to complete on your property, then an asbestos survey is a must. An asbestos survey carried out alongside professional asbestos inspection procedures will uncover any hidden asbestos that may be behind walls, in attics, and beneath floorboards under licensed and experienced professionals. Safety check by experts guarantees compliance with regulations, eliminates the risk of unintentional release of fibers, and provides safety to occupants, workers, and visitors from harmful effects. This process also supports asbestos testing requirements and ensures accurate asbestos inspection for renovation projects.

Engaging the services of an experienced asbestos removal firm or qualified licensed asbestos professionals ensures safe sampling, risk assessment, and code-compliant abatement or encapsulation. Whether it is a home requiring residential asbestos removal, a business needing commercial asbestos removal, or an industrial property needing specialised industrial asbestos services, acting now can help provide peace of mind and a healthy working environment. Understanding the cost of asbestos removal and choosing the best asbestos removal company gives property owners confidence that all asbestos-containing materials will be managed safely and effectively.
