About our asbestos removal in New Zealand

We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about garage roof sheets and finds during refurbishment.

In a village like New Zealand, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt

We remove them without cutting with power tools.

Floor tiles

Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

Why people call us in New Zealand

Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.

These come up again and again:

  • Old cold water tanks
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Materials found mid-project
  • Cement flues and gutters

At a school such as Elmhurst School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

What happens

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in New Zealand by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We test it if needed and plan the job
  3. We send a quote covering the work and the waste
  4. The material is removed safely
  5. The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Before we arrive

  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Mention any damage before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Quotes vary because of:

  • Disposal costs
  • Parking and access charges
  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • What the material is and its state

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Helping us quote

  • A photo of the whole area
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • Approximate dimensions

FAQs for New Zealand

Do you cover New Zealand from London?

We cover New Zealand, about 38 miles from central London.

Could my house in New Zealand contain asbestos?

If your home in New Zealand was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you cover New Zealand?

Yes, we do: our area includes New Zealand and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.

Do you test before removing asbestos in New Zealand?

Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.

What does licensed work mean?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

How much does asbestos removal cost in New Zealand?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

What happens next

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

Going forward:

  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • File the consignment note
  • Photos of the material and the route in help

What to avoid

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Removing asbestos around New Zealand

New Zealand is about 1 mile west of Elmhurst, in Buckinghamshire. New Zealand is within our Buckinghamshire area, for removal jobs of every size. New Zealand is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work. Our area stretches from New Zealand to Oxford (about 19 miles away).

If you let property near Aylesbury station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in New Zealand, near St Peter's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. New Zealand is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Removal jobs anywhere in HP19 and HP20 start with the postcode and some photos. That could mean a property on Dunsham Lane, Drayton Road and Cannock Road, wherever it is in New Zealand. For properties just outside New Zealand, we cover Elmhurst (1 mile east), Aylesbury (1 mile south), Watermead (1 mile north-east), Quarrendon Estate (1 mile west) and California (1 mile south).

Which option is right?

Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why choose us

  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Identify first, remove only when needed
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
