You can DIY if it's up to 10m2, for some reason; there are detailed instructions online from the NZ authority on these things and doing it safely.

Not if its A1 friable asbestoes which is most flooring underlay ,has to be registered peoples and disposal is expensive

Yes up to 10m2 of NON-FRIABLE can be done by the home owner. Anything over 10m2 or ANY FRIABLE needs a qualified contractor.

"Friable asbestos or ACM is asbestos or ACM in powder form, or able to be crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure when it is dry. This is the riskiest condition for asbestos or ACM to be in.

Non-friable asbestos or ACM is, as the phrase suggests, not friable. Non-friable asbestos or ACM is usually safer than friable asbestos or ACM, because asbestos fibres bond into the product. However, non-friable ACM is likely to release fibres if it is disturbed or manipulated.

A competent person should determine whether ACM is friable or non-friable."

That is a recommendation only. Any Worksafe limits only apply to workers.

Sort of. Its also about the workplace not just the worker. If the OP was a landlord and the property was a rental, then they'd be caught as a PBSU.

But yes as a home owner occupier, then you're right, it becomes only a recommendation.

That is far too expensive. I live across the ditch and our entire internal cladding and floor of the veranda, the internal cladding of the bathroom and another room was quoted for less than that. Get another quote for sure.
