Asbestos exposure can lead to severe respiratory diseases. Therefore, identifying asbestos before carrying out a renovation is vital to avoid such health risks.
Our certified surveyors are experts in conducting the required asbestos surveys. Through the survey, any potential asbestos dangers are detected and managed, ensuring legal compliance. With our services, you can be confident that it’s safe to continue with your planned renovation. Having the survey done not only means that everyone involved is protected but also that your project adheres to all legal regulations.
We can’t overstate how dangerous asbestos can be when doing a home renovation. If you are exposed to asbestos, even for a short time, it can lead to very serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
These life-threatening diseases, which can lay dormant in the body for decades, are caused when materials containing asbestos are disturbed. Microscopic fibres are released and become airborne, which can then be inhaled, causing chronic lung conditions. This is why it’s critical to identify and manage asbestos before renovations are started to secure a safe environment for you and all those involved.
Due to Regulations in New Zealand, asbestos surveys are mandatory to identify hazardous materials before any renovation work begins. Only licenced professionals can conduct these surveys, guaranteeing accuracy, thoroughness, and legal compliance. If asbestos is found, strict safety protocols must be followed by certified removal services. Our services are fully compliant with these regulations to provide you with safe, licenced removal of any asbestos and to ensure you are observing all the legal processes for renovations.
Asbestos removal involves 3 critical steps:
Once the removal has taken place, clearance certificates are essential to verify that the area is free from asbestos and is therefore safe. The cost of this removal process can vary depending on the extent of the contamination and the complexity of the project. Delays may arise for similar reasons; for example, it might take longer to ensure compliance on a more complex renovation project.
We follow comprehensive asbestos testing procedures, which streamline this process for you, minimising disruptions and extras costs to your renovation project.
Non-compliance with asbestos laws and regulations can result in severe liabilities. These include hefty fines, legal action, serious delays or even curtailment of projects. What’s more, ignoring regulations endangers people’s lives, leading to further potential health claims and lawsuits down the track.
It’s, therefore, crucial to get proper legal advice to help you understand and follow all asbestos regulations. Our expert services ensure that you take all necessary precautions, stay compliant, protect people’s health and avoid such legal liabilities. Not adhering to these laws puts you at significant risk of financial and reputational damage.
Yes, an asbestos survey is mandatory for all renovation projects to ensure safety and compliance with legal regulations. This is regardless of size or complexity of your renovation project, or whether it’s a home or commercial renovation.
This depends on the property’s size and complexity. An asbestos renovation survey can take anything from a few hours to a whole day.
If asbestos is found during the asbestos demolition survey, it will need to be safely removed before demolition begins. This is a legal requirement in New Zealand, to prevent the release of hazardous asbestos fibres into the air during the demolition process. Removal must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal professional, such as Revolve Asbestos Solutions, who will follow strict safety protocols to ensure that it is handled, removed, and disposed of properly.
It’s essential to carry out an asbestos survey when renovating in order to be compliant with regulations in New Zealand. Not doing so can lead to hefty fines, legal action, project delays, and potential legal action due to health issues arising from asbestos exposure.
