Asbestos Roof Removal in Auckland
Asbestos Roof Removal and Long Run Replacement Across Auckland
HDK Long Run Roofing carries out asbestos roof removal across Auckland, including East Auckland, North Shore, Waitakere, Central Auckland, and Mangawhai.
Most corrugated cement roofing installed on New Zealand homes and commercial buildings before 1990 contains non-friable asbestos. When these sheets weather, crack, or are disturbed during renovation, they release airborne fibres linked to asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos must be carried out by a Class A or Class B licensed asbestos removalist.
Our team of Licensed Building Practitioners manages the full project: site containment, controlled removal, sealed disposal at authorised New Zealand facilities, coordination of independent air quality testing, and your new long run metal roof installed in the same visit. As a family-owned Auckland business with over 10 years of specialised roofing experience, we partner with trusted NZ suppliers including Colorsteel, Eurostyle, and Euroline, and provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden costs.
Our Full Process: Containment, Removal, Disposal, and Clearance
-
Site Containment and Safety Setup
Before any sheets are moved, we establish a controlled containment zone. This involves securing the work area, sealing key access points, and using specialised equipment to reduce the risk of fibre release. For occupied sites, we confirm work zones and access restrictions with you before starting. -
Controlled Removal and Sealed Disposal
Asbestos cement sheets are wrapped, sealed, and transported to authorised New Zealand disposal facilities. You receive documentation confirming the asbestos roofing has been handled according to strict WorkSafe standards. Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos requires a Class A or Class B licensed removalist. -
Air Quality Testing and Re-Occupation
We can coordinate independent air quality testing after removal. For Class B work, a clearance certificate may be granted by an independent competent person. This gives you a clear compliance trail before re-occupying your home or commercial site. -
Replacement Roof Installation
Once the site is cleared, we install new timber battens, high-performance underlay, and your chosen long run roofing profile in the same project.
Signs Your Cement Roof Should Be Replaced
Asbestos roofing should be assessed when it starts to show signs of age, damage, or weathering. Cracked sheets, broken edges, visible surface wear, leaks, storm damage, and loose fixings can all increase the risk of fibres being disturbed. Even if the roof appears stable, planned renovations or property upgrades can make removal necessary.
Many Auckland property owners also choose asbestos roof removal before selling, leasing, or renovating a building. Removing the material early can prevent delays during future work and give buyers, tenants, or occupants more confidence in the property.
If you are unsure whether your roof contains asbestos, the safest step is to arrange an assessment. HDK Long Run Roofing can inspect the roof, guide you through the next steps, and explain whether testing or removal is required.
Homes, Garages, Warehouses, and Industrial Sites
HDK Long Run Roofing works on both residential and commercial asbestos roofing projects across Auckland. For homeowners, this may include houses, garages, sleepouts, sheds, and older extensions with corrugated asbestos sheets.
For commercial properties, asbestos roofing may be found on warehouses, workshops, offices, storage buildings, and industrial sites. These projects often require careful planning around access, business operations, neighbouring properties, and project timing.
Our team plans each job around the building, site conditions, and replacement requirements, helping reduce disruption while keeping the process organised.
