Asbestos in Ellerslie homes

Much of Ellerslie was built up in the 1950s and 1960s, including state and private housing that used asbestos cement roofing, soffits and wall linings as standard. Today many of those Super Six roofs are brittle, lichen-covered and leaking, and owners renovating or selling want to know what they’re dealing with.

Finding asbestos in your Ellerslie home

When you find asbestos in your Ellerslie home it’s natural to feel worried. The most important thing is not to disturb it – breaking or cutting asbestos releases more fibres. Call us for an inspection: we’ll test the material, explain the risk in plain language and quote for the safest option, whether that’s leaving it, encapsulating it or removing and replacing it.

Where we commonly find asbestos in Ellerslie

  • 1950s–60s state and private housing
  • Super Six roofs and garages
  • Commercial premises along Main Highway
  • Units and townhouses from the 1970s–80s

What should I do if I find asbestos in my Ellerslie home?

Does my 1970s Auckland house have asbestos?

It’s likely. WorkSafe advises that any home built before 1 January 2000 may contain asbestos. In 1950s–90s Auckland homes we commonly find it in roofing, cladding, soffits, textured ceilings, vinyl flooring and wet-area linings.

Can I remove asbestos myself in New Zealand?

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.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

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.
