Asbestos Management & Removal Team LTD

Renowned for their certified expertise and client-first approach, Asbestos Management & Removal Team leads the charge in Wellington asbestos removal with trusted, region-wide service.

Family-led excellence in the heart of the capital

When discussing Wellington asbestos removal, one name consistently stands out: Asbestos Management & Removal Team. Known locally as AMR Team, this family-owned company has quickly become a trusted authority throughout the Greater Wellington region. Established in 2019 by Ryan Franklin, the business was built on principles of transparency, safety, and meticulous workmanship.

Their journey began with a desire to address a growing need; safe and reliable asbestos detection and removal across residential and commercial properties. Today, AMR Team’s reputation spans from Wellington City through Porirua, the Hutt Valley, and up into the Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua. Their strong local presence and deep understanding of the region’s building stock have cemented their place as leaders in their field.

Built on trust, strengthened by compliance

From the outset, AMR Team has prioritised legal compliance and industry best practices. They hold both Class A and Class B asbestos removal licences, allowing them to safely manage friable and non-friable materials alike. These certifications, combined with ISO45001 accreditation and SiteWise Gold status, speak volumes about their dedication to professional safety standards.

Additionally, all projects are registered with WorkSafe New Zealand, and independent clearance inspections are mandatory following every removal. This commitment ensures not only full regulatory compliance but also peace of mind for their clients.

Asbestos testing that leaves no doubt

AMR Team begins with rigorous on-site assessments. They specialise in identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which are often hidden in homes built from the 1940s to the 1980s. Following detection, samples are sent to independent, IANZ-accredited labs. The process is methodical and precise, providing clients with clear, legally sound reports.

These reports are more than just paperwork; they serve as a roadmap for next steps. Whether it’s targeted removal or full-scale remediation, the clarity and confidence AMR Team provides at this early stage set the tone for a well-managed project.

Removing friable asbestos with unmatched caution

When it comes to high-risk ACMs like textured ceilings, vinyl tiles, or old insulation, few operators match AMR Team’s expertise. Their Class A removal process uses advanced enclosures, negative air pressure systems, and decontamination units to completely isolate the hazardous material.

Each site is treated with the highest level of precaution. Upon completion, independent assessors verify the results, issuing formal clearance certification. This documentation is retained for 14 years, supporting both legal requirements and future property transactions.

Removing non-friable asbestos without compromise

Non-friable asbestos, often found in cement-based materials like cladding or soffits, is deceptive in its risk. AMR Team understands the importance of proper technique here. Their Class B removal process prevents these materials from becoming friable during handling or demolition.

Once removed, waste is packaged securely and disposed of at certified facilities, strictly following environmental regulations. It’s not just about getting rid of asbestos; it’s about doing it the right way, every single time.

Innovative shrink-wrapping: protection that goes the distance

Among AMR Team’s most noteworthy offerings is their proprietary shrink-wrapping system. Designed to protect exposed areas after asbestos removal, this technique far outperforms conventional tarping. The weatherproof, heat-sealed wrap moulds to irregular surfaces, safeguarding interiors from water, wind, and noise damage.

This attention to post-removal care demonstrates their holistic approach. They don’t just remove risk; they help clients maintain the integrity of their buildings until repairs or renovations can begin.

End-to-end support that simplifies every project

From the first phone call to final site clearance, AMR Team excels at client support. Their quote process is swift and transparent, with clear itemised estimates provided after initial consultations. Throughout each project, communication remains open and proactive.

They take client safety seriously, providing guidance on when to vacate properties and how to minimise disruption. After every job, formal clearance certificates are issued, ensuring everything is documented and legally compliant for the long term.

Handling the hidden danger in contaminated soils

Asbestos is not always limited to ceilings and walls. AMR Team also specialises in environmental remediation, particularly involving asbestos-contaminated soil. Whether the result of fire damage, demolition, or illegal dumping, these sites require skilled intervention.

The team removes hazardous soil, replaces it with clean fill where necessary, and ensures that the entire site is safely restored. Their environmentally conscious approach shows in their meticulous planning and adherence to resource management standards.

Reliable expertise for New Zealand’s homes

Given the age of many residential structures in New Zealand, asbestos is a silent risk lurking in numerous forms. AMR Team has cultivated particular skill in domestic projects. From textured ceilings to vinyl flooring and pipe insulation, they know where to look; and how to remove asbestos safely.

They also offer renovation advice for homeowners planning upgrades, helping to prevent unintentional exposure. In every instance, the focus is on empowerment through knowledge and safety through action.

Tools, technology, and trusted partnerships

Professionalism at AMR Team goes beyond licences and inspections; it’s embedded in the tools they use. From top-tier PPE and on-site decontamination units to shrink-wraps designed for New Zealand’s climate, their equipment is chosen with precision and purpose.

They also maintain trusted relationships with accredited testing laboratories, ensuring every analysis is accurate, impartial, and fast. It’s a modern, scientific approach to a very serious problem.

A family business with local heart

What sets AMR Team apart, perhaps more than anything else, is their human touch. As a family-run company, they understand what it means to protect a home, a business, or a legacy. Their personal investment in every project creates an atmosphere of trust and reliability.

Clients across Wellington appreciate this down-to-earth attitude. It’s the kind of care that cannot be faked; and one that leads to genuine peace of mind when dealing with something as serious as asbestos.

Education as a pillar of service

Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools in AMR Team’s arsenal. That’s why they make it a priority to educate their clients about asbestos risks, legal responsibilities, and best practices.

Their website, consultations, and client guides are designed to be jargon-free and practical. This educational focus empowers property owners to make informed choices, reducing the chance of accidental exposure and improving safety across the region.

Staying ahead in a regulated industry

Asbestos management is a dynamic sector, and AMR Team stays ahead by tracking changes in legislation and updating their protocols accordingly. Clients benefit from their regulatory fluency, knowing they’re always in line with the latest WorkSafe guidelines.

This constant vigilance reflects their wider ethos: safety is not static. It evolves, and so must those who protect others from risk.
