Asbestos Removal in Auckland, New Zealand
Licensed contractors who remove asbestos-containing materials.
Asbestos removal in Auckland is regulated nationally by WorkSafe New Zealand under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Any building in Auckland built or renovated before 2000 could contain asbestos. Importing asbestos-containing products into New Zealand has been illegal since 2016.
A Class A licence covers any type or quantity of asbestos, including friable material. A Class B licence covers any amount of non-friable asbestos. No licence is needed for up to 10 m² of non-friable asbestos, counted across the whole project for the site, but the work must still be done safely.
The licensed removalist must give WorkSafe written notice at least five days before work starts. Only a sudden, unexpected event or an essential-service breakdown allows work to start straight away, with phone notice immediately and written notice within 24 hours.
Class A jobs need a licensed asbestos assessor for air monitoring and clearance. Class B jobs can be cleared by an independent competent person.
Auckland Council transfer stations do not accept asbestos, and council staff and contractors will not collect items they think contain asbestos, including from inorganic collections. The council directs residents to licensed removalists on WorkSafe's register to dispose of it.
The council has also found pieces of asbestos-containing material on the Tāmaki Estuary coastline between Karaka Bay and Panmure Wharf, with the largest amounts at Glendowie Bay, and is monitoring and removing it.
We currently list 24 asbestos removal businesses in Auckland. 14 of them also offer consulting and 6 offer testing.
Ask for the removalist's licence class and get the clearance certificate in writing once the job is done.
