Helpful guides
How asbestos survey works in New Zealand
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in New Zealand, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. We often deal with water tanks, textured ceilings and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and checks on rental property.
Rural homes near New Zealand have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that’s needed.

For businesses and landlords in New Zealand
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
New Zealand buildings and asbestos surveys
New Zealand is about 1 mile west of Elmhurst, in Buckinghamshire. New Zealand has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. New Zealand is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 19 miles away.
For a school like Elmhurst School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts. If you’re a landlord near Aylesbury station, share asbestos information with trades before work. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 6 miles of New Zealand, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
New Zealand questions
Can you survey a school or hall near New Zealand?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How far is New Zealand from London?
We cover New Zealand, about 38 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in New Zealand?
Yes. We cover New Zealand and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common reasons for surveys in New Zealand
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
Planning work on an older building in New Zealand, whether near St Peter's or elsewhere? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
