What our clients have to say

“
Thank you Josh and your awesome team. You made the process of cleaning and clearing our stock that had been in a warehouse with an asbestos roof, painless and effortless.

Prior to using Protectus we had had an exceptionally bad experience with another asbestos removal company, who we found created unnecessary hysteria around our asbestos issues, allowing them to overcharge, lie, steal and generally rip us innocent and unsuspecting people off.

After having such a terrible experience with this other company it was a pleasure to work with Protectus who were completely professional, transparent and honest. I would have no hesitation in recommending Josh and his team and only wish there were more people like them in this industry.

Their knowledge, honesty, reliability, attention to detail and good working relationship with WorkSafe puts them in a league of their own.

We had very strong communication throughout the project. Nothing was ever a problem and Protectus went over and above to meet our needs and demands which were sometimes unreasonable.

The work was always done professionally, staff always polite and with a smile on their face. The project was delivered before due date even with additional work outside of the original scope tasked to them.

Josh and his team would be our first choice for projects in the future.

I’d like to thank Protectus for the reliable and professional service they delivered when dealing with the removal of asbestos from the North Shore Hospital.

Addressing asbestos-containing materials within construction projects can be difficult alongside the other time, cost, and safety demands of the work. Protectus made this process simple and efficient.

Health and safety is critical when it comes to asbestos and in this case the inner-hospital location made this even more challenging. Protectus took the safety and wellbeing of the public as their main priority, ensuring all safety requirements were adhered to, and in addition provided a clean workplace and efficient service.

They were a pleasure to work with and we will without a doubt use them on upcoming projects.

We were very pleased with Protectus and would be happy to use your company again any time.

After I called, the work was picked up and completed within 24 hours. We'd used another asbestos removal company for a previous job we had done - it wasn't completed satisfactorily and we felt they were trying to rip us off.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone wanting asbestos removed.
