What does re-roofing after asbestos removal involve?

Re-roofing after asbestos removal involves selecting a new roofing material, preparing the roof structure (replacing any damaged battens or purlins), installing underlays and fixings, and fitting the new roofing material to weathertight standard. JP Asbestos coordinates the asbestos removal and re-roofing as a single project so you have one point of contact.

Is re-roofing covered by NZ building consent?

In many cases, replacing like-for-like roofing material in New Zealand does not require a building consent, but this depends on your local council's requirements and the extent of the work. JP Asbestos advises on consent requirements as part of the quoting process and can assist with consent applications if needed.

How long does re-roofing take after asbestos removal?

Re-roofing typically takes two to five working days for a standard Auckland home depending on roof size, pitch, and material type. Combined with asbestos removal, most residential projects are completed within one week. JP Asbestos provides accurate timelines in every written quote.

Do I need to vacate my home during re-roofing?

Re-roofing itself does not require you to vacate your home in most cases. However, you should expect noise and some disruption. If asbestos removal is also underway, JP Asbestos recommends staying away during the removal phase. Our team will advise on the specific requirements for your project.
