Common questions in New Zealand
Could my house in New Zealand contain asbestos?
Any home in New Zealand built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Asbestos garage roof removal near New Zealand
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across New Zealand. Tell us the size and send photos. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about garage blocks and single garages.
In a village like New Zealand, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Duty holders and landlords in New Zealand
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in New Zealand were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What we deal with in New Zealand
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages being knocked down
- Block garages
- Single and double garage roofs

Across New Zealand, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Take a look at how we price jobs and the cost guide.
What affects the price in New Zealand
What drives the price:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Garage roof removal in New Zealand is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal

Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
