Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Removal

Here are some common questions. If you require more information please contact us.

Asbestos is relatively common in homes built before the 2000s in materials such as textured or popcorn ceilings, roofing, cladding and vinyl flooring. You can't reliably identify asbestos just by looking at it, so professional asbestos testing is the safest way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.

Some older textured or popcorn ceilings contain asbestos. The material can become hazardous when it is damaged, cut, drilled, sanded or otherwise disturbed, potentially releasing asbestos fibres. If you suspect popcorn ceiling asbestos, avoid disturbing it and arrange professional testing.

Yes. Older asbestos lino, vinyl tiles and asbestos vinyl flooring can contain asbestos, including within backing materials and adhesives. Our licensed team can assess, safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing flooring.

Asbestos-containing materials are carefully contained, transported and disposed of at an approved facility. AR Plus manages the disposal process as part of the removal project, so you don't have to organise this separately.

Yes. Asbestos-contaminated soil can occur where asbestos-containing building materials have been buried, broken up or improperly disposed of in the past. If asbestos is suspected in soil, professional assessment and safe removal are important before excavation or construction work continues.

Yes. AR Plus provides commercial asbestos removal and industrial asbestos services as well as residential work. We can manage asbestos testing, removal, containment and disposal for properties and projects of different sizes.

The cost of asbestos removal depends on the type and quantity of asbestos, where it is located, how accessible it is and the removal requirements for the project. We assess the property and provide a clear, no-obligation quote before work begins.

We provide asbestos testing and removal throughout Hawke's Bay, including Napier, Hastings, Taradale, Clive, Havelock North, Waipukurau and Wairoa, as well as surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we service your location, get in touch with our team.

Yes. Once asbestos has been safely removed, our team can assist with ceiling restoration, repairs and finishing work including plastering and painting. This means you can have the removal and restoration managed by one experienced team rather than coordinating multiple contractors.

What's involved in an Asbestos Test?

What We Offer

AR Plus provides on-site testing and assessment services to identify potential asbestos risks in specific areas. Our experienced team will:

  • Visit your property to assess targeted locations (e.g. ceilings, soffits, flooring, wall linings)
  • Collect samples if needed using safe, non-invasive methods
  • Send the samples to a certified laboratory for analysis
  • Return results promptly, often within 24–48 hours

We’ll let you know whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type (friable or non-friable), and what your next practical steps should be.

Where We Test

We commonly test areas such as:

  • Textured ceilings and ceiling tiles
  • Vinyl flooring and adhesives
  • Fibre cement wall linings and soffits
  • Roofing materials and cladding
  • Pipe lagging and insulation

We do not provide full-property asbestos surveys, management plans, or demolition surveys; however, if these services are needed, we’re happy to connect you with experienced assessors we work alongside.
