Surveys, Testing & Clearance

Asbestos may be present in your property. It is vitally important to identify asbestos in order to then remove it. This all starts with an asbestos survey from Auckland’s asbestos removal specialists. If left undetected, asbestos is known to result in adverse health effects that can cause serious illness. To be safe, undertaking an asbestos survey from a trained professional is recommended for safety and peace of mind. Savy Enviro Services will take a sample and have it analysed by an IANZ-accredited laboratory to ascertain if asbestos is present. If asbestos is detected, we can provide a range of services, from removal to demolition for residential and commercial buildings. Choose Savy Enviro for licensed and qualified asbestos services.

If you are wondering about the appropriate level of testing needed for your renovations, the answer depends on the extent of the project. If you are only planning minor renovations that may disturb a small number of potential asbestos surfaces, we can conduct testing to determine if asbestos is present. It is advisable to conduct this testing before starting any renovations on your own or hiring a builder. It can also be done after unexpected events such as storm damage or trees falling on the property.

When undertaking larger-scale renovations or planning to demolish the property, it is essential to have a survey conducted before commencing work to help assess the presence and extent of asbestos and therefore ensure proper management and safety measures. Savy Enviro Services can provide prompt surveys tailored to your specific needs without causing delays in your project timeline.

For businesses that own commercial buildings, compliance with Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 is mandatory. Owners must either have an Asbestos Management Plan in place or provide evidence that their building is free from asbestos.
