When you need medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand support
Many items in hospitals, clinics and laboratories are fixed to walls, floors, ceilings or benches. Others are connected to power, water, drainage or data networks. Removing this equipment safely takes planning and the right tools. Our medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand service handles that work so your team does not have to.
To see how the full process works, visit our medical equipment recycling page.
Typical medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand projects include room refits, imaging suite upgrades, laboratory moves, dental surgery renovations and full facility closures. We remove the equipment, leave the space clear and take everything to our Napier facility for reuse, parts recovery or recycling.
Every medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand job is carried out by our own team. We do not pass your project to unknown subcontractors.

Our 4 step deinstallation plan
Every medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand project follows a clear plan agreed with your team before work starts.

- Step 1: Review photos and details
We review photos of the equipment, the room and the access route. For larger jobs we may arrange a site visit.
- Step 2: Agree the plan and quote
We confirm what will be removed, who disconnects building services and how long the work will take. You receive a clear quote.
- Step 3: Safe disconnection and removal
Our team disconnects and dismantles the equipment, protects floors and walls and moves each part out safely.
- Step 4: Processing and certificate
Everything is taken to our Napier facility for processing. You receive a recycling certificate when the job is complete.
Working with your facilities team
Some building services must be isolated by licensed trades or your own facilities team. This can include electrical circuits, plumbing, medical gases and radiation shielding. We agree in advance who is responsible for each step so nothing is missed.
We can also work around clinic hours, theatre schedules and laboratory routines. Weekend or after hours work can be discussed for sites that cannot close during the week.
For imaging equipment that contains a radioactive source still fitted inside the unit, we can accept the equipment. Loose or removed sources cannot be accepted.
Safety and data protection
Our team uses proper lifting equipment, trolleys and protective materials for heavy items. We keep work areas tidy and safe for staff and patients.
Equipment with internal storage, such as imaging workstations and analysers, is treated as data bearing. We destroy the data and confirm this in writing to support your duties under the Privacy Act 2020. More detail is available from the Privacy Commissioner.

Why plan deinstallation early
Deinstallation often sits on the critical path of a building project. If old equipment is not removed on time, builders, electricians and new equipment suppliers are all delayed. Booking medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand support early protects your project timeline.
Early planning also gives us time to review access, arrange the right lifting equipment and agree responsibilities with your facilities team. That makes the work faster and safer on the day.
If your project is in the South Island, early booking also lets us fit your medical equipment deinstallation New Zealand job into a planned trip. This keeps travel costs down and gives you more date options.
