Coastal homes, ageing roofs

Takapuna and the neighbouring peninsula suburbs have many 1950s–70s homes, often with Decramastic or Super Six roofs that have taken decades of salty, windy coastal weather. Sea spray accelerates corrosion of the metal in Decramastic tiles and weathers asbestos cement faster, so roofs here often reach the end of their life sooner.

The right replacement for the coast

When we replace an asbestos roof near the coast, we specify roofing and fasteners suited to the exposure zone so your new roof lasts. Removal, disposal and the new roof are all handled by JP Franklin.

Where we commonly find asbestos in Takapuna

  • 1950s–70s homes on the peninsula
  • Coastal homes with weathered roofing
  • Apartments and commercial buildings
  • Decramastic and Super Six roofs

What roofing is best near the coast in Takapuna?

We specify a Colorsteel product and fixings suited to your property’s exposure to sea spray. We’ll recommend the right grade during the 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.

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.
