Asbestos roof removal

Many New Zealand houses and sheds built before the mid-1980s have asbestos-cement roofing. Left alone and sealed it is low risk; cutting, breaking or drilling it is not. Removal is licensed work with strict handling and disposal rules.

Tell us about the building and the roof. One roofer in your area who is licensed for asbestos removal and does the replacement roof gets your enquiry.

Signs you need this

• A grey corrugated fibre-cement roof on a house, garage or shed built before 1985
• Cracked, crumbling or moss-covered asbestos sheets
• A renovation, re-roof or solar installation that would disturb the roof
• A pre-purchase report that mentions asbestos

What the roofer will do

1. Confirm the material, sometimes with a sample test
2. Remove and dispose of it under the licensed process, with the site contained and air monitored where required
3. Lay the new roof and flashings

How it works with us

1. You tell us the job. Where the house is, what you have noticed, how urgent it is, and a photo if it is safe to take one.
2. A person checks it. Someone on our team reads every enquiry. We are not a form that forwards itself.
3. One roofer gets it. A roofer who works in your area and does this kind of job. Only one, so you are not fielding ten calls.
4. They contact you. Usually within a working day, to talk through the job and arrange a look.
