Asbestos in Onehunga
Onehunga is one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs, with workers’ cottages and villas near the town centre, large areas of post-war state housing and light industry around Te Papapa. That mix means we see every kind of asbestos here: Super Six roofs on homes, sheds and factories, fibre-cement cladding and soffits, and asbestos linings inside older houses.
Roof repairs and replacements
We’ve carried out asbestos roof repairs in Onehunga where a damaged section needed attention but the rest of the roof was sound. Where the whole roof is failing, we remove it and install a new Colorsteel roof in one project.
Buying in Onehunga?
If you’re looking at an older Onehunga home, the possibility of asbestos shouldn’t put you off – but get a pre-purchase asbestos survey so you know what any future work will cost.
