Don’t Risk Asbestos During Renovation or Demolition
Many Palmerston North properties built before the early 2000s may contain asbestos in roofing, cladding, flooring, ceilings, and insulation materials. Disturbing these materials during renovation or demolition can release dangerous fibres.
Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, asbestos removal must be carried out by licensed professionals. Attempting DIY removal is unsafe and can result in serious health risks and legal consequences.
If asbestos is suspected, a professional assessment should always be undertaken before work begins. We can guide you through the correct process and coordinate with approved independent asbestos assessors where required.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, builder, project manager, or commercial property owner in Palmerston North, Central Demolition can provide safe and compliant asbestos removal solutions.

Asbestos removal at Palmerston North’s former post office
Central Demolition is currently undertaking asbestos removal works at Palmerston North’s former Post Office building, a significant local landmark known to many as the old ‘High Flyer’ site. This large-scale project forms part of the building’s transformation into a new hotel development.
The asbestos removal programme has been carefully staged, with the structure divided into three fully contained work zones to ensure safe and controlled removal ahead of demolition and refurbishment.
A key priority on this project is the preservation of the building’s original features. The structure contains substantial native timber beams and flooring, with salvage and protection measures in place to retain as much of this material as possible. Selected sections of the façade will also be preserved and incorporated into the new hotel design, along with the original stained-glass windows.
This project demonstrates Central Demolition’s ability to manage complex asbestos removal works within heritage-sensitive environments, balancing safety, compliance, demolition preparation and preservation requirements.
