Asbestos Testing & Surveys
Asbestos Testing
If you need reassurances about any suspect materials, we can safely take a sample of the material for you. An IANZ accredited laboratory will test the material for the presence of asbestos. When we receive the results, we will send you a copy along with a summary letter.
Management Surveys
This is the first stage of developing an asbestos management plan. Asbestos containing materials (ACM) that could be disturbed during everyday occupancy or minor maintenance works are identified in this survey. Then, this survey information creates an asbestos register. Finally, a business can develop an asbestos management plan for the building using this register.
Refurbishment Surveys
A targeted asbestos survey to find ACM prior to the refurbishment works of the building. Its purpose is to inspect the areas of the building that will undergo refurbishment. A removal contractor must remove all the asbestos materials before refurbishment work can begin.
Demolition Surveys
Demolition asbestos surveys are fully intrusive and find asbestos materials in all areas. Even difficult to access areas such as wall or roof cavities. A removal contractor must remove all the asbestos materials before demolition takes place.

Asbestos Management Plans
All businesses should, by law, have a written asbestos management plan (AMP) for their workplace or building if it’s likely to contain asbestos. These laws were introduced in the 2016 asbestos regulations. The AMP will include the following information:
Location and condition
Where the asbestos is located and details on the materials condition.
Emergencies
How to record incidents or emergencies in relation to asbestos.
Manage the risks
How the workplace intends to manage the risks associated with asbestos.
Review and revise
Develop a timetable to manage the risks and procedures to review the plan.
Unsure if you require a plan?
Asbestos Clearance Inspections
After the asbestos removal is completed, and before you start the next stage of your project, we make sure the work has been done properly.
In most cases, everyone wants to do a good job and they do a good job, but sometimes things are missed or overlooked, and we are there to re-check everything – Call it “Peace of Mind”.
We carry out all the required tests and provide a certificate declaring the area safe for re-occupation. As licensed Asbestos assessors we can do this for both Class A and Class B removal works.
