Who is the best asbestos removal company in Palmerston North?

July 3, 2025

Need an asbestos removalist in Palmerston North? Here’s what you should look for in a great asbestos removalist, and why PROES ticks all of those boxes.

Asbestos removal is unfortunately a necessary part of modern property ownership in Palmerston North. Thanks to the high prevalence of asbestos in New Zealand homes and commercial buildings, and the ageing condition of many of these properties, it’s common to require asbestos management and removal. 

The best way to keep your Palmerston North asbestos removal job as quick, seamless, and pain-free as possible is to ensure you hire a fantastic removalist. There certainly are a number of good options around, but here are a few tips on finding the best.

Check Google reviews

A good place to start when searching for any company is with Google reviews. These are usually a great litmus test for whether clients are happy with the service they received or not.

Importantly, look for any poor reviews. A customer may be unhappy occasionally, but it’s key to look for a response from the business. If they have a clear, apologetic response to the review that explains the situation, you can use your own judgement about how they might handle any issues should you have a problem.

That said, PRO Environmental Services is yet to receive a bad review – or even one below five stars. We consider our impeccable track record to be a point of pride, and a testament to our asbestos removal work in Palmerston North and around New Zealand.

Look for asbestos removal knowledge and experience 

Asbestos removal isn’t something you simply start doing one day. It’s not a job you can ‘DIY’, and it’s not something you can learn on YouTube. 

This is a high-risk job with real consequences for mistakes, which is why professional training and knowledge is absolutely essential. Plus, the right tools for the job, including top-quality PPE, is a must-have for any asbestos removalist in Palmerston North. 

Therefore, looking for an asbestos removal company with knowledge, training, certifications, tools, and experience. That can be a lot to ask for, but when it’s the most valuable thing you have – your health – and your property at stake, there really is no list of demands that’s too high. 

At PRO Environmental Services, our team has decades of experience between them. We are certified to remove asbestos from both residential and commercial properties in New Zealand, and our collection of case studies is just a small sample of the projects we work on.

Ensure they are a Class A asbestos removalist

One piece of technical knowledge you will need to choose an asbestos removal specialist in Palmerston North is the definition of a ‘Class A’ removalist. 

Also known as a Grade A removalist, this is a company that’s certified to remove all kinds of asbestos. That’s because asbestos is categorised into two groups – A and B. B is the non-friable kind, which is slightly less dangerous. Class A asbestos is friable, which means it is more prone to breaking down, and therefore more dangerous to health. 

A Class B removalist is only certified to remove Class B asbestos. A Class A removalist is certified to safely remove both types of asbestos – and can therefore safely handle whatever type is found on your property. 

We at PROES are certified as a Class A asbestos removalist.
