Worksafe provide a lot of information on asbestos and the following two images are from their website. They show all the places that suspected asbestos containing materials could be hiding in your residential and commercial property.
Asbestos-containing products can be found in lots of places throughout your residential property, as shown in the image below. You might find it in vinyl flooring, interior and exterior wall cladding and soffits, fences, texture coatings, fireplaces, stoves, hot water cupboards, electrical switchboards, roofs, guttering and downpipes and many other places.
Asbestos, notable for its fire resistance and durability, is frequently used in various parts of commercial buildings, especially in areas susceptible to heat or moisture. You might find it in fire doors, encompassing both interior and exterior walls, and in flooring materials, particularly linoleum in wet areas like bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. To aid in identifying asbestos in these various locations within your commercial building, refer to the image below.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring mineral fibers that were extensively mined from the 1870s onwards. It was a popular choice in building materials due to its fire resistance, tensile strength, and low cost. Asbestos was used in over 3,000 known products globally and, despite its adverse health effects becoming known around 1980, it is still used in some countries today. In New Zealand, asbestos products were phased out, leading to a complete ban on importing in 2016.
Asbestos testing is crucial because prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Buildings constructed before 1 July 2000 in New Zealand have a high likelihood of containing asbestos materials. Testing ensures that any asbestos presence is identified and managed properly to protect health and safety.
Identifying asbestos in a property isn’t straightforward without professional testing, because asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) often look identical to non-asbestos materials. If your property was built or renovated before 2000, there’s a higher risk it may contain asbestos. Professional testing is the most reliable way to confirm its presence.
If you suspect asbestos in your property, avoid disturbing the area and contact us immediately. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibres into the air. Professional testing and assessment are essential for safe management.
The asbestos testing process typically involves an initial inspection of the suspected areas, followed by sample collection. These samples are then analysed in our lab to determine the presence and type of asbestos. Based on the results, we can advise on the next steps, which may include management or removal of the asbestos.
Not always. The necessity of asbestos removal depends on the condition of the asbestos-containing materials. If the materials are in good condition and not disturbed, they may not pose an immediate risk. However, if the materials are damaged or likely to be disturbed, removal by a licensed professional is recommended for safety.
The duration of asbestos testing can vary. The initial inspection can take a few hours, depending on the property size and complexity. Once samples are collected, laboratory analysis can take a few days to a week, after which a detailed report is provided.
