Thousands of homes and commercial buildings across Auckland were built or re-roofed during the mid-20th century using asbestos-containing materials. At the time, asbestos was considered an excellent roofing material — durable, fire-resistant, and affordable. Today, we know the serious health risks it poses. If your property still has an asbestos roof, getting it removed by a certified professional isn’t just a good idea — it’s essential.
JP Asbestos are Auckland’s experienced, trusted specialists in asbestos roof removal and re-roofing. With eight years of successfully delivering cost-effective solutions, they’ve built a reputation on one simple promise: “We don’t take shortcuts. We don’t over-price. We never compromise on quality.”
Why Asbestos Roofing Is Still a Problem in 2026
Asbestos cement roofing sheets — often called “Super Six” — were widely used in New Zealand from the 1940s through to the early 1980s. Many of these roofs are still in place today, and as they age, they become increasingly fragile and prone to cracking and crumbling.
When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or deteriorate, they release microscopic fibres into the air. These fibres, when inhaled, can lodge permanently in the lungs and cause serious diseases including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer — often not appearing until decades after exposure. This is why asbestos roof removal must be carried out by licensed professionals. It is not a DIY job.
