About the operator
Heritage-villa addition specialists
Southland Asbestos covers Dunedin city, the Otago Peninsula, the Central Otago lakes district and into Southland on bigger jobs. Their bread and butter is the 1940s–1970s additions on Dunedin's pre-1900 villa stock — the original timber villa rarely contains asbestos but the lean-to additions reliably do. They are also one of the few South Island operators offering encapsulation as a managed alternative to removal.
