Asbestos in West Auckland

West Auckland grew rapidly from the 1960s to the 1980s, with large areas of family housing and state housing in suburbs such as Henderson, Te Atatū, Kelston, Glen Eden and Massey. Asbestos cement roofing, Decramastic tiles, fibre-cement cladding and textured ceilings were all common at the time.

The west’s history of orchards and vineyards also left behind sheds and outbuildings roofed with Super Six.

Our West Auckland work

We test, remove and replace asbestos roofs, strip asbestos cladding and interior linings, and remove old sheds and garages across the west – from bush-clad Titirangi sections to flat suburban streets.

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.
