Our remit covers providing asbestos removal services at a range of sensitive sites — like schools and kindergartens — within New Zealand’s Auckland Region. However, even if you know how hazardous asbestos can be to human health, you could still struggle to identify this substance by yourself.
This would be understandable, as there are various physical forms of asbestos — including foams, boards and even materials you could mistake for textiles.
As you may need to arrange for a professional to establish or rule out the presence of asbestos in a building, it would be crucial for you to budget carefully in case you find that you were right to suspect it had asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and they consequently need to be cleared from it.
We can assist you in ascertaining for definite. How much you would have to pay for asbestos testing can depend on the method. If the professional takes samples to a laboratory and tests them there, the cost to you could be in the range of $270 to $800. Air testing, meanwhile, can be as expensive as about $1,300.
This is not a straightforward question to answer, as asbestos removal jobs can significantly vary in the complexity entailed.
Bonded asbestos is usually less expensive to remove than friable asbestos. You also shouldn’t be surprised if the higher the amount of the asbestos, the more you would need to pay to get it removed.
Another factor is where exactly in the property the asbestos sits before it is taken away. Generally, the trickier this substance is to access, the higher the bill for its removal.
This explains why, while a professional removing asbestos roofing on your behalf can land you with a cost of up to $5,900, that same professional detaching a single sheet of non-friable asbestos fencing could necessitate you paying under $30 for the service.
Also, you might not have to pay just for the physical removal. For example, disposal of the asbestos waste could add an extra $480 or thereabouts to your outgoings.
If you have good reason to believe that an Auckland building you own may contain ACMs, we encourage you to phone us on 021 544 905. We can provide you with a free, no-obligation quote for any of our asbestos removal services, making your budgeting at this stage easier.
