Asbestos Removal
Land Contamination

Managing asbestos removal and land decontamination can be one of the most complex and highly regulated stages of a demolition project. At Southern Demolition, we have the experience and industry knowledge to manage these processes from start to finish, coordinating qualified specialists to ensure your project is completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with New Zealand regulations.

Under the Asbestos Health and Safety Regulations 2016, all buildings constructed before 2000 must undergo a comprehensive asbestos survey before any demolition or renovation work begins. Building owners have a legal duty of care to prevent asbestos exposure, while demolition contractors must ensure the required asbestos survey and clearance certification have been completed prior to commencing work.

Our team is trained to identify asbestos-containing materials, distinguish between friable and non-friable asbestos, and follow strict safety procedures should unexpected asbestos be discovered on site.

Southern Demolition has a thorough understanding of the legal requirements, processes, and specialist qualifications involved in asbestos removal and contaminated land remediation. We work alongside trusted, WorkSafe NZ-compliant subcontractors with proven expertise in these high-risk environments, giving you confidence that every aspect of your project is managed safely, professionally, and to the highest standard.
