We provide targeted asbestos testing and site assessments for homes, commercial buildings, schools, and community housing across the central North Island, including Tauranga, Hamilton, Rotorua, and the wider Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Taupō, and Gisborne.
Our site assessments and testing services give you the facts you need to make confident, informed decisions.
A comprehensive asbestos survey may be required for large-scale demolition projects, property relocations, or commercial compliance purposes. Independent professionals, not removal contractors, typically perform surveys - and that’s how it should be.
While AR Plus does not offer full asbestos surveys, we work with a small group of trusted, WorkSafe-recognised assessors. If a full survey is required, we can connect you with one of our trusted independent assessors.
AR Plus is fully licensed to carry out Class A and Class B asbestos removal across homes, businesses, and public facilities. We work with homeowners, builders, schools, Kāinga Ora, and councils, delivering safe, compliant solutions with minimal disruption.
We’re known not just for doing the job right, but for seeing it through to the finish.
No - we offer asbestos testing and localised assessments only. We can refer you to one of our trusted assessors if you need a complete asbestos survey for a demolition or large renovation.
An asbestos survey involves inspecting an entire property to identify all potential ACMs. Asbestos testing refers to the lab analysis of samples taken from specific locations, which we offer.
No, in most cases you don't need to leave the property during asbestos testing. Site assessments and sample collections are non-invasive and can be carried out while the property is occupied.
If asbestos is confirmed, we can provide a free quote. Depending on the material’s condition and location, we may suggest asbestos removal, sealing, or regular monitoring. If removal is needed, our licensed team can manage that too — visit our Asbestos Removal page to learn more.
If you own a rental property, you are legally responsible for maintaining a safe living environment for tenants. If your property contains asbestos and it’s likely to be disturbed by repairs, renovations, or wear and tear, you should arrange an inspection and consider your management obligations.
If asbestos is present but in good condition and not likely to be disturbed, it may not need to be removed. However, it should still be documented and monitored. This is particularly relevant in commercial and educational settings where future work may impact those materials.
We don’t carry out full asbestos surveys ourselves, but we can refer you to a trusted independent assessor if needed. Once a survey or test confirms asbestos is present, AR Plus can handle the licensed removal and complete asbestos remediation, including plastering, painting, and site restoration. We’re also happy to help you understand survey results and advise on the most practical next steps.

Yes — we regularly work with schools, local councils, Kāinga Ora, and building contractors. We understand the needs of larger or regulated environments and can deliver licensed asbestos removal that meets both compliance and operational standards.
