The cost calculator is designed to give you a close approximation for removal and licensed assessor costs.
This DOES NOT constitute a formal quote. Please contact us.
A-Class vs B-Class:
- All vinyl removals, pipe laggings, chimney rope/AIB and textured/popcorn ceilings are A-Class (Friable)
- Roofs, Soffits, Cladding (not paint!), Baseboards, Fences and Decking are B-Class (Non-Friable / Solid)
Assessor Costs (Approximate):
- A-Class: $950 for clearance report and testing. +$400 / day for air monitoring services (Days of actual asbestos removal)
- B-Class: $350 for clearance report and visual inspection
Other things to note:
- Costs are for the greater Auckland area. We charge a bit extra for long travel times, so do assessor’s.
- Larger removals (150m2+) warrant a reduction in the square meter rate (55/95). Even larger 200m2+ we can go lower depending on difficulty (50/90). We are negotiable for large commercial removals.
- Larger A-Classes can take 2 to 3 days for physical removal. Add +$400 for each additional day. Assume 1x day per 100m2.
- Concrete Render or asbestos behind other objects (Brick/Tile/Plaster) may incur up to 2x cost due to extra weight and labour
- Assessor’s generally quote and invoice separately, although we can include this from time to time.
- If both A-Class and B-Class removals are required on the same site, BOTH clearance cost types are required. (350 + 950 + air monitoring) – The assessor may be willing to negotiate a lower combined total.
- Costs do not cover restoration (Cladding, Roofing, GIB, Plaster, Paint, Insulation, Electrical etc)
- Costs do not cover tarpaulins or waterproofing (We do not provide this service)
- Soil Scrapes and Dirty Demo = Price can not be given until weights are known. $700/Tonne Demo, $350/Tonne Soil.
Minimum Charges:
- Minimum costs apply: $600 for anything under 10m2, $1080 between this and 18m2. (B-Class)
- All A-Class removals under 35m2 are at $3500. Regardless of 1m or 35m2. The setup and removal process is exactly the same.
