Asbestos Testing: How It Works
If you suspect material may contain asbestos, or simply want to do the safest thing and check your property. There are two options for testing.
We can arrange the demolish survey for you if required
Sample Collection
Asbestos Busters will organise a material sample collection, expertly analysing the results at a specialist lab, either in Auckland or Hamilton. Results often return within a day.
Cost: $150 (further costs incur for extended travel). If 2 or more samples are needed the cost is $100+GST per sample.
Sample Drop Off
The two labs we are in Auckland and Hamilton. A more cost-effective option for those living within driving distance of our Auckland or Hamilton testing labs is for individuals to safely collect a sample themselves and drop it off at a lab. Please note, for those dropping off samples, the lab will require a small bag of materials double-wrapped and sealed in a plastic bag. They have small plastic bags at the lab.

Building Demolition Surveys
We can supply a registered asbestos surveyor if necessary. Every demolition project requires a survey by a registered asbestos surveyor regardless if it has asbestos or not. This report is given to the client who in turn selects a removal company to obtain a quotation.
All businesses require a registered surveyor to identify the presence of asbestos (If looking for a reliable qualified survey call Yu Zhang on 0210 800 5670 or email yu@archilab.co.nz to conduct a survey of your building and all demolition jabs that need a survey whether they have asbestos or not.). The surveyor then makes recommendations as to whether it should be removed or how the asbestos should be managed if not requiring removal.
