At Savy Enviro, we specialise in helping Kiwi homeowners stay safe from hidden asbestos risks in their homes.
If your property was built or renovated between 1950 and 2000, there’s a chance it contains asbestos in the roof, ceilings, vinyl flooring, or insulation.
We’re here to help you identify and manage those risks.
Where Asbestos Might Be Hiding
You might find asbestos in:
- Textured or popcorn ceilings
- Super Six or corrugated fibre-cement roofing
- Wall linings and insulation
Not sure if your materials contain asbestos?
Don’t guess – test. Our certified assessors can inspect and sample materials safely.
Is an Asbestos Roof or Ceiling Dangerous?
It depends on the condition:
If It’s Intact (Undisturbed)
Asbestos in good condition is often safe to leave in place.
The fibres are sealed in and won’t release into the air unless disturbed.
If It’s Damaged or Disturbed
This is where the risk starts.
Broken or weathered asbestos roofing or ceilings can release fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to:
- Lung cancer
- Asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
What To Do If You Suspect Asbestos
Do not disturb it.
That includes no drilling, sanding, cutting, or even brushing.
At Savy Enviro, we offer safe and compliant solutions:
1. Leave it (With a Management Plan)
We’ll inspect your site and, if it’s safe, prepare a management plan to monitor the asbestos and keep your family protected.
2. Encapsulate it
Our team can apply a specialised sealant to stop fibres escaping — ideal for ceilings or roofs in stable condition.
3. Remove it
If the material is breaking down or being renovated, full removal may be the best option. Our team is WorkSafe NZ licensed and follows the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Common Questions from NZ Homeowners
How do I know if my ceiling or roof contains asbestos?
Get it tested by a licensed professional – Savy Enviro offers reliable testing and peace of mind.
How much does it cost to remove asbestos popcorn ceilings?
The cost depends on factors like the type of asbestos, size of the area, and how easy it is to access. Friable asbestos is more hazardous and needs extra care.
