Celebrating
30+ Years
- Est. 1995
We’ve been in business for more than three decades, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that doing things properly matters. Whether we’re removing asbestos from a school roof, restoring a tired living room ceiling, or repainting a freshly plastered office, our team is focused on one thing: getting it done, and getting it done well.
What started in 1995 as a ceiling restoration business has grown into a full-service operation with licensed asbestos removal crews, experienced painters and plasterers, and a dedicated Health & Safety manager keeping us sharp. These days, we go by AR Plus — a nod to both our expanded services and the extra effort we put into every job.
We work across the central North Island, including the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Waikato, and Gisborne regions, with branches in Tauranga and Rotorua. From start to finish, every client benefits from our structured process, attention to detail, and down-to-earth communication.
"When I first started AR Plus, the goal was clear: deliver high-quality work and treat people right. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is the size of our team, the scope of our services, and the depth of our experience — but at the end of the day, it’s still about showing up, doing a good job, and leaving our clients better off than we found them. I’m proud of what we’ve built, and even more proud of the crew that delivers it every day."
Our mission is simple: To protect people, property, and the environment through professional asbestos removal, ceiling restoration, and paint and plaster services.
We’re committed to providing the best possible service across both public and private sectors. We do this by continuously investing in our systems, our people, and our equipment, ensuring our methods stay sharp, our processes stay safe, and our outcomes stay consistent.
We believe in doing things once — and doing them right. Every job is approached with care, professionalism, and a restoration mindset. It’s not just about removing or repainting — it’s about finishing the job to a standard we’d want in our own homes or on our own sites.
Our vision is built on consistent delivery, continuous improvement, and making it easy for our clients to trust us with their projects, from the initial quote to the final clean-up.
Our values are more than posters on a wall — they guide how we show up, how we work together, and what clients can expect when they work with AR Plus.
We show up prepared, operate respectfully, and keep our standards high, whether we’re working in a family home or a high-security facility.
We prioritise people first. That means robust site processes, certified training, and dedicated oversight from our in-house Health & Safety Manager.
We don’t walk away until the job meets our expectations — and yours. “Good enough” isn’t good enough.
We back each other on-site and in the office. Our crew works together to make the job easier, faster, and safer for everyone involved.
We’re proud to hold SiteWise Gold, ISO 45001:2018, and AS/NZS 4801 certifications — but what really matters is how we apply them on every site, every day.
From licensed asbestos removal to commercial fit-outs, we don’t cut corners. Our team operates under strict safety protocols, guided by our dedicated Health and Safety Manager and supported by internationally recognised accreditations.
