We help homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients handle asbestos safely and confidently. We follow strict WorkSafe NZ protocols to ensure safe removal, legal disposal, and a thorough site clean-up — and we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish, with no stress and no guesswork.
If you’re dealing with an ageing ceiling, planning renovations, or have received an asbestos survey, we’re here to help.
Our team holds both Class A and Class B licences, which means we’re qualified to remove all forms of asbestos, including the most hazardous friable materials.Â
Our licensed process includes:

Testing has confirmed asbestos in some of the door core boards, with no reliable batch or year pattern. Guidance from WorkSafe advises that intact doors pose negligible risk, damaged doors exposing the core require immediate remediation under your organisation’s Asbestos Management Plan (AMP). Hardware fitting is prohibited under the Health and Safety at Work Act (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
AR Plus is licenced to safely manage, remove and dispose of any fire doors that are presumed asbestos contaminated in accordance with your Asbestos Management Plan and the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Every asbestos job is different, but our process is designed to be clear, safe, and efficient.
We’ll visit your site and test for asbestos or work from an existing survey to understand what needs to be removed.

I have had the pleasure of working with AR Plus on numerous asbestos remediation projects over the past six years. Their workmanship is consistently of a high standard, and they demonstrate a strong commitment to professionalism and customer service. AR Plus regularly goes above and beyond to support the PCBU, making the remediation process as seamless as possible.
One of their standout offerings is the comprehensive service they provide during ceiling removals. By including plastering and painting as part of their package, they effectively serve as a one-stop shop, minimizing delays and eliminating the need for clients to coordinate additional contractors. This added convenience provides clients with peace of mind and ensures a smooth project completion.
As a licensed Class A asbestos assessor, I’ve collaborated with AR Plus on a wide range of projects from small garage cladding removals to highly complex Class A asbestos removals in residential homes, industrial plants, hospitals, and schools. They possess the expertise, equipment, and team to handle projects of any scale with efficiency and care.
Additionally, their well-branded and professional fleet ensures a strong, visible presence reinforcing their reputation wherever they operate. I highly recommend AR Plus for any asbestos-related work.
