Specialist work

Planned properly, start to finish

Where asbestos-containing roofing is confirmed or suspected, removal must be completed under the appropriate licensed arrangement. Willy Marsh Roofing can coordinate the replacement roofing and work alongside the licensed asbestos-removal contractor so the transition to the new roof is properly planned.

Testing, removal, disposal, clearance requirements and replacement roofing are confirmed in writing before work is scheduled.

  • Removal completed under the appropriate licensed arrangement
  • Replacement concrete tile or long-run roofing planned and installed by us
  • Testing, disposal and clearance confirmed in writing before anything is scheduled

What to do, and what not to

Asbestos cement roofing was common on New Zealand houses and sheds into the 1980s. Intact and undisturbed it is generally low risk; broken, drilled, water-blasted or walked on is where the problem starts.

  • Do not water-blast, sand, drill or break it, and do not walk on it
  • Do not send a general handyman up to "just take a look"
  • Get it identified before any work is scheduled — that decides everything else
  • If it is sound and staying put, leave it alone and keep an eye on it

Call us and we will tell you what we can see and what needs testing before anyone goes near it.
