Comprehensive asbestos testing and identification
If you suspect your roof may contain asbestos, we’ll provide an inspection and analysis to confirm its presence.
This process includes thorough inspections and sampling, followed by laboratory testing to ensure accurate results. Knowing exactly what you’re dealing with allows you to make informed decisions and stay ahead of any potential risks.
Legal and safe disposal in line with NZ standards
Safe disposal of asbestos waste is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s essential for protecting people and the environment.
At Total Roofing, we handle every aspect of asbestos disposal from small garage roofs to large numbers of roof tiles, following strict protocols for secure transport and disposal at approved hazardous waste facilities.
We'll also provide any required documentation.
Asbestos management plans for compliant workplaces
If you own or manage a building, New Zealand law requires you to have an up-to-date asbestos management plan. The plan records where asbestos is or may be present in the property and how to manage it. It must be kept up to date, which includes reviewing and updating it every five years, or when any asbestos has been removed, disturbed, sealed or enclosed.
We’ll work with you to develop a customised plan that meets WorkSafe NZ requirements and fits your specific premises.
While visual clues may exist, the only reliable method is professional inspection and lab testing. We offer comprehensive asbestos identification to confirm the presence and type.
In many cases, yes. We plan removal carefully to minimise disruption and can schedule work outside of business hours if required for safety or convenience.
If removal isn’t immediately possible, we can help you update or create an asbestos management plan, as required by NZ law, to keep your site compliant and safe. You may also be able to look at asbestos encapsulation as an alternative to removal.
You’ll receive full clearance certification, disposal records, and documentation confirming legal compliance – essential for audits, insurance, and resale.
