Wellington Asbestos Collection, Disposal, and Management
Asbestos Collection
PRO Environmental Services is fully qualified to provide all the asbestos services your construction company or renovation project may need. However, we are aware that you may also have your own team members who are fully qualified and trained to remove asbestos safely and securely. If so, we can provide you with a reliable and compliant asbestos collection service and asbestos disposal so you can keep your team on site doing what they do best. Our safe asbestos collection service allows you to concentrate on completing your project.
Once the asbestos has been collected, we will dispose of your asbestos in accordance with the WorkSafe guidelines, following regulations and ensuring it is done so within the required 24 hour time frame. We then send certificates to your project manager to confirm completion and that disposal has been carried out as per regulations.
Call PRO Environmental Services today to find out more about the our emergency call out service and make PRO Environmental Services the company to call for all your asbestos services.
Asbestos Disposal
When asbestos is removed from a building or structure, it is imperative that the asbestos disposal is done correctly and in accordance with the industry safety regulations. Incorrect asbestos disposal can have devastating consequences.
Once asbestos has been removed safely from a structure, the asbestos is double-bagged in line with the current guidelines and taken securely to the local landfill. It is important that asbestos removal is completed quickly and efficiently.
As with any PRO Environmental Services work, when we complete your asbestos disposal, we put safety and environmental guidelines at the forefront of everything we do.
Find out more about asbestos disposal by contacting the PRO Environmental Services team today.
Asbestos Management
An asbestos management plan is a document that logs and details how asbestos will be managed in a property and what will be done to ensure employees, customers, and other site visitors are kept safe from asbestos exposure.
The plan must be clear and concise and will include the amount of asbestos found and its location in the building. An asbestos management plan will also document the scheduled works planned to remove and dispose of the asbestos, or to contain it safely. The property owner or building manager is usually responsible for this plan.
For more information on all the asbestos services we provide – testing, removal, collection, disposal – contact PRO Environmental Services today.

Here you can find some of our more Frequently Asked Questions about Asbestos Removal and Disposal Services.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. These fibres are very strong and are highly resistant to heat, fire, chemicals and wear.
For decades, asbestos was an extremely popular building material. It is fire resistant and a great insulator and was used throughout New Zealand in new homes and businesses.
It can be added to cloth, plastic, paper, cement and other materials to increase their strength, but when asbestos dust is inhaled or ingested by humans, it can lead to various dangerous lung conditions like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, this is why now it is considered as a serious health and safety hazard.
How long does asbestos removal take?
We do our best to work quickly, safely, and effectively to ensure you can get back to work as soon as possible, without putting your teams or customers at risk. Each project is unique and brought carefully through our process.
To provide you with a rough reference we can say that Residential Asbestos Removal can take around 1-5 days, depending on the scope of work. Commercial Asbestos Removal can lead from 1 day to several months, also depending on what it is involved and the specific project needs.
If you have discovered asbestos in your commercial, residential, or industrial property, PRO Environmental Services can help you either manage it or remove it completely with encapsulation and remedial services.
Why is asbestos dangerous for my health?
Breathing in airborne asbestos fibres can be a serious health risk; the fibres lodge themselves in the lungs and may cause harmful diseases including asbestosis, pleural thickening, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
Most asbestos-related symptoms can take up to 20 years to appear and can increase when exposure is more frequent and occurs over long periods of time, and when people inhale more fibres.
