Renovating your home can be exciting - fresh paint, modern finishes, and a space that truly reflects your style. But before you pick up a hammer or tear down walls, there’s an invisible hazard you need to address: asbestos. Conducting professional asbestos testing and asbestos surveying first is essential to protect your home, your family, and your renovation investment.
Asbestos was commonly used in New Zealand homes built before the 2000s, from textured ceilings to roofing and insulation. You can’t see it, and you can’t smell it, but disturbing it during a renovation can release fibres into the air — a serious risk for you and your loved ones.
At AR Plus, we make asbestos testing and asbestos surveying simple, safe, and thorough:
Our qualified technicians identify materials that may contain asbestos, including hidden areas behind walls and ceilings.
We safely collect samples and send them to certified labs for testing, ensuring accurate results and peace of mind.
Once testing is complete, we advise whether the material can remain undisturbed or needs safe removal by licensed specialists.
While it may seem tempting to inspect materials yourself, handling asbestos without proper equipment and procedures is extremely dangerous. Even minor disturbances can release fibres that linger in your home for months, increasing your risk of lung disease.
Hiring professionals like AR Plus ensures:
We use protective equipment and containment methods to prevent fibres from spreading.
Misidentifying asbestos can lead to costly mistakes, either removing harmless materials or leaving dangerous fibres behind.
Knowing a licensed team has safely conducted asbestos testing and asbestos surveying lets you renovate confidently, without hidden hazards.
Testing for asbestos first isn’t just about health, it also protects your wallet and your project timeline. Discovering asbestos mid-renovation can lead to delays, unexpected costs, and potential rework. Early testing:
