Asbestos in Epsom properties

Epsom’s housing ranges from 1920s–30s bungalows to solid 1950s and 1960s homes – many with Decramastic tile roofs, asbestos cement soffits and textured ceilings. With strong demand for redevelopment, older homes are often renovated, extended or demolished for townhouses, which makes an asbestos survey the first step of almost every project.

Demolition and redevelopment

Before a house is demolished, the asbestos must be identified and removed by licensed removalists. We test, remove roofing, cladding and interior asbestos, and dispose of it at a licensed facility so your demolition contractor can start on a clean site.

Where we commonly find asbestos in Epsom

  • 1920s–30s bungalows
  • 1950s–60s homes with Decramastic or Super Six roofs
  • Infill townhouses replacing older homes
  • Detached garages and sleep-outs

Found damaged asbestos? Don’t disturb it.

Keep people and pets away, close doors and windows, don’t sweep or vacuum – and call us for advice and an assessment.

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.

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.
