Why the North Shore has so many asbestos roofs

The opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1959 triggered rapid growth on the North Shore. Suburbs such as Glenfield, Birkenhead, Northcote, Sunnynook and Browns Bay filled with new homes through the 1960s, 70s and 80s – exactly when Decramastic tile roofs, Super Six roofing and fibre-cement cladding were most popular.

Those roofs are now 40 to 60 years old. Decramastic tiles dent and lose their coating, Super Six becomes brittle, and owners are choosing to replace rather than keep patching.

North Shore asbestos services

We test roofs and claddings before renovations and sales, remove asbestos roofs and replace them with long-run Colorsteel or metal tiles, remove cladding and interior asbestos, and help body corporates plan roof replacements across unit blocks.

Where we commonly find asbestos in North Shore

  • 1960s–80s homes built after the Harbour Bridge opened
  • Decramastic tile roofs
  • Fibre-cement cladding and soffits
  • Units and townhouse blocks

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.
