In Plain English

North Shore has heaps of older homes especially around Devonport, Birkenhead, and Northcote that were built when asbestos was the go-to roofing material. If your roof is flaking, crumbling, or you're planning a renovation, you need to get it checked before anyone starts work. We'll come out, test if needed, remove it safely and legally, and leave you with a clearance certificate and a fresh new roof if you want one.

Asbestos Removal Across the North Shore

Auckland's North Shore encompasses a large and diverse area stretching from the inner suburbs of Birkenhead and Northcote near the Harbour Bridge, through the established residential areas of Takapuna and Devonport, out to the newer developments of Albany, Dairy Flat, and Orewa. While the newer northern suburbs generally have less asbestos risk, the established inner North Shore suburbs have a very significant proportion of pre-1990 housing.

Devonport, in particular, is notable for its historic character homes, many of which were built in the early 1900s and have been reroofed multiple times often with asbestos-cement corrugated iron during the 1960s and 70s. Birkenhead, Northcote, and Glenfield have extensive post-war state housing stock from the 1950s and 60s that used asbestos-cement extensively in both roofing and cladding. These areas represent a high-risk profile for asbestos exposure during renovation work.

JP Asbestos covers the following North Shore areas:

  • Takapuna and Milford
  • Devonport and Cheltenham
  • Birkenhead and Northcote
  • Glenfield and Hillcrest
  • Albany and Rosedale
  • Browns Bay and Torbay
  • Forrest Hill and Sunnynook
  • Birkdale and Beach Haven

Our North Shore team provides same-week assessments across the region. We are familiar with Auckland Council building consent requirements for the North Shore, and we manage the complete compliance process from initial inspection and WorkSafe NZ notification through to clearance certification and coordination of re-roofing. North Shore homeowners can expect clear communication, fixed-price quotes, and a clean worksite throughout the project.

For North Shore landlords and property investors, JP Asbestos can provide asbestos condition assessments and management plans that document the current state of asbestos-containing materials and prescribe appropriate remediation timelines. This is particularly valuable for older rental properties where asbestos may be present in multiple locations.

All asbestos waste from North Shore removals is transported and disposed of at a consented landfill in accordance with the NZ Waste Management regulations. We provide waste disposal receipts as part of your compliance documentation pack.

Did You Know?

Devonport is one of Auckland's oldest residential suburbs, with many homes dating from before 1920. These properties have often been reroofed with asbestos-cement sheeting in the 1960s and 70s meaning even a "restored" character home could have asbestos hidden beneath recent paint and repairs.
