Asbestos in East Auckland

Pakuranga and the suburbs around Howick were transformed by large subdivisions in the 1960s and 1970s, and Decramastic tile roofs were a hallmark of the era. Many of those roofs are now dented, faded and leaking, and homeowners are replacing them with long-run Colorsteel or new metal tiles.

Further along the coast, homes in Bucklands Beach, Half Moon Bay, Cockle Bay, Glendowie and St Heliers deal with salt-laden weather that speeds up the deterioration of both metal tiles and asbestos cement.

Up to 10 m² of non-friable asbestos can be removed without a licence by a competent person, but you must control dust and dispose of it correctly. Any friable asbestos, and more than 10 m² of non-friable asbestos in a job, must be removed by a WorkSafe-licensed removalist.

Every property is different. Price depends on the area, type of asbestos, roof pitch and height, access, condition, the containment required, disposal, and whether you want a replacement roof or cladding. See our cost guide, or upload photos for a free estimate.
