How much does asbestos removal cost?
The cost of asbestos removal varies depending on the type and quantity of asbestos-containing material, its location, accessibility and the complexity of the removal work. Reform Environmental can assess the required work and provide a detailed quotation outlining the scope and associated costs before removal begins.
Do i need an asbestos report?
An asbestos survey or assessment may be required to identify asbestos-containing materials before renovation, refurbishment or demolition work begins. If asbestos is suspected but has not been confirmed, we recommend having the material assessed or tested by a competent asbestos professional before it is disturbed. If you already have an asbestos report, you can send it to us when requesting a quote.
Can you remove asbestos roofing?
Yes. Reform Environmental provides licensed removal of non-friable asbestos-cement roofing throughout Auckland. We use controlled removal methods designed to minimise damage and fibre release, and the asbestos roofing is appropriately packaged and disposed of as asbestos waste. We can also coordinate our removal programme with your roofing contractor so the replacement roof can proceed efficiently.
Do you remove asbestos cladding?
Yes. We remove non-friable asbestos-containing exterior cladding from residential, commercial and other properties. Our removal process includes establishing appropriate controls, carefully removing the cladding, cleaning the work area and ensuring the asbestos waste is appropriately contained and disposed of.
How long does asbestos removal take?
The timeframe depends on the amount and type of asbestos, accessibility, property size and complexity of the work. Smaller projects may be completed within a day, while larger or more complex projects can take several days or longer. We will discuss the expected programme with you before work begins and coordinate with other contractors where required.
Do you dispose of the asbestos waste?
Yes. Asbestos waste generated by our removal work is appropriately contained, labelled and transported for disposal in accordance with applicable requirements. We manage the asbestos waste as part of the removal process so our clients do not need to handle or dispose of the material themselves.
Do I need an asbestos clearance inspection?
Whether a formal clearance is required depends on the type and scale of asbestos removal being undertaken and the applicable regulatory requirements. Where a clearance inspection is required, it must be completed by the appropriate independent competent person or licensed asbestos assessor. Reform Environmental can work alongside the independent assessor so the area can be cleared before it is reoccupied or subsequent work proceeds.
Can asbestos removal be done before demolition?
Yes, and asbestos-containing materials generally need to be identified and appropriately removed before demolition work could disturb them. Removing asbestos first helps prevent contamination of the demolition site, other building materials and surrounding areas. Reform Environmental provides both asbestos removal and demolition/deconstruction services, allowing the work to be carefully planned and coordinated.
Do you work with builders and property managers?
Yes. We work with builders, property managers, construction companies, homeowners and other contractors throughout Auckland. We understand the importance of communication, scheduling and coordinating asbestos removal with other trades to help keep projects progressing safely and efficiently.
