FAQ
Asbestos questions, answered
Straight answers to the questions Auckland homeowners and businesses ask us most.
Do I have asbestos in my roof?
If your roof is Super Six (corrugated cement), Decramastic or pressed-metal tile, or fibre-cement shingle, and it was installed before the mid-1980s, there is a good chance it contains asbestos. A laboratory test of a small sample will confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous if it isn’t disturbed?
Intact, non-friable asbestos (such as asbestos cement in good condition) that isn’t disturbed is generally low risk. The danger comes when it deteriorates or is drilled, cut, sanded, broken or water-blasted, releasing fibres that can be inhaled.
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.
Can an asbestos roof be repaired?
Yes, in many cases. Damaged Decramastic tiles or Super Six sheets can be replaced using asbestos-safe methods. If the roof is brittle and failing in several places, replacement is usually better value.
Should I remove or encapsulate my asbestos roof?
Encapsulation suits roofs that are still sound and will not be disturbed – but WorkSafe’s code of practice treats it as a temporary measure that needs regular re-inspection. If the roof is cracked, leaking or heavily weathered, removal and replacement is the long-term solution.
Do I need to leave my house during asbestos removal?
For most exterior jobs such as roof or cladding removal you can stay home with windows and doors closed and the work area off limits. For interior or friable removals you may need to stay elsewhere until clearance is given – we’ll explain in your removal plan.
How long does asbestos removal take?
A garage roof is often done in a day. A typical house roof takes one to three days to remove, or one to two weeks including a new roof. Large commercial projects are staged over several weeks.
What happens to asbestos after it is removed?
It is wetted, double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic, labelled, transported in a covered vehicle and buried at a landfill licensed to accept asbestos. You receive the disposal dockets.
Can you replace the roof after asbestos removal?
Yes – that’s our speciality. JP Franklin removes the asbestos and installs a new long-run Colorsteel, metal-tile or asphalt-shingle roof with our own roofers. One company, one quote, one project.
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.
