Protect your health with Fibresafe NZ 's comprehensive mould and lead testing
Mould and dampness indoors are linked to a variety of health effects including both the
development and aggravation of asthma, respiratory infections including chest infections and bronchitis, coughing, sneezing, and eczema. Illnesses are often more serious in vulnerable individuals including the very young, the very old and those with pre-existing health conditions.
Media attention has often focused on the danger of 'Black Mould'. However the reality is that assessing and controlling the risk associated with fungal growth in buildings can be complex. Fibresafe NZ can provide advice and guidance on if a mould assessment is necessary. If required, we undertake comprehensive mould assessments in accordance with international ASTM standard D-7338 Standard Guide for Assessment of Fungal Growth in Buildings.

Specialist mould assessment services
Moulds are widespread in the environment and it is not possible to eliminate complete exposure. There are no clear guidelines as to how much mould is considered to be safe to be around. Therefore, it is generally recognised as best to remove any visible mould when present indoors, and to fix the underlying issue to minimise the risk of damaging health effects on those who are regularly in the space where there is mould found.For these reasons, Fibresafe NZ has developed a simple mould assessment service that is designed to provide all of the information you need to plan remediation, address your mould issue and create a safe and comfortable environment. Our specialist team of assessors can help you with any mould problem you may have.

Lead testing by accredited professionals
Lead can accumulate in the body over time after repeated exposure which can come from a range of sources including: lead-based paints or through lead-contaminated soil. Fibresafe NZ can test for lead in paint and soil and provide a report, and advice for what to do if lead contamination levels are high.Lead-based paints were common in New Zealand homes pre 1980, so if you are planning any renovation work, it's wise to test any paint you will be stripping beforehand, as the dust from lead based paint can create a serious health hazard for the person doing the job, anyone in the home or building, and any next door neighbours and children.
