JP Asbestos is Auckland City's licensed asbestos roof removal company, providing Class A and Class B certified removal services across the Auckland CBD, Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mt Eden, Parnell, Remuera, Newmarket, and surrounding inner-city suburbs. With over 8 years of experience and full WorkSafe NZ compliance, JP Asbestos is the trusted choice for homeowners, landlords, and property managers dealing with asbestos-containing roofing and cladding materials in Auckland's older housing stock.
If your Auckland home was built before 1990, it almost certainly has asbestos somewhere and roofing is the most common place. When it's old, cracked, or weathered, those fibres become dangerous. You can't remove it yourself it's illegal and unsafe. We're licensed, local, and ready to handle everything from inspection through to a brand-new roof. One call and we take it from there.
Auckland City has one of the highest concentrations of pre-1990 housing in New Zealand. The inner suburbs Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Freemans Bay, and Mt Eden were developed extensively during the 1950s through 1980s, precisely when asbestos-cement (AC) roofing and fibro-cement cladding were the dominant building materials. Today, many of these character villas, bungalows, and state homes still carry asbestos-containing materials on their roofs and exterior walls.
The situation is particularly acute in Auckland City because of the high density of older housing combined with the city's aggressive renovation and development activity. Homeowners undertaking renovations, property investors preparing properties for tenanting, and building contractors working on character home restorations all regularly encounter asbestos often unexpectedly. Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, any work that disturbs asbestos-containing material requires licensed removalists for Class A friable materials, and certified personnel for Class B.
JP Asbestos serves the following Auckland City suburbs and areas:
Our response time for Auckland City is typically same-week for inspections and quotes. For urgent situations such as storm damage that has fractured asbestos-cement roofing we can often attend within 24 to 48 hours. We understand that exposed or damaged asbestos is a health emergency, not a scheduling convenience, and we staff accordingly.
Auckland Council building consent requirements apply to all roofing work. JP Asbestos manages the full compliance stack: WorkSafe NZ notification (required 5 working days before Class A work commences), asbestos removal, independent clearance inspection, air monitoring, and clearance certification. We then coordinate with our trusted re-roofing partners to complete the job with a warranted, weather-tight new roof whether that's colorsteel, pressed metal tiles, or concrete tiles.
For Auckland City landlords, the Healthy Homes Standards and the Residential Tenancies Act create additional obligations. Asbestos in poor condition can constitute a hazard that must be managed or remediated. JP Asbestos provides asbestos management plans and condition assessments to help landlords document their obligations and prioritise remediation work.
Grey Lynn and Ponsonby alone have an estimated 3,000+ pre-1990 homes, the majority of which were built during the peak asbestos-use era. Many have already had some renovation work done but not all of it was done safely or legally.
