Worried About Asbestos in Your Roof? You're Not Alone.

Many New Zealand homes and buildings—particularly those built from the 1950s to the 1980s—still have asbestos-containing roofing materials. Whether it’s Decra tiles, Super Six corrugated sheets, or asbestos shingles, these materials pose serious health risks once they begin to deteriorate or are disturbed.

Common Asbestos Roofing Types in New Zealand:

  • Super Six: Widely used fibre-cement corrugated sheets, often found on older homes, garages, and sheds. High asbestos content.

  • Decra Tiles (Older Types): Some early generations contained asbestos-bonded bitumen or cementitious material.

  • Asbestos Shingles: Less common but still present on select heritage or older residential properties, especially in rural regions.

If your roof was installed before 1990, there’s a high chance it contains asbestos.

Why Replace Your Asbestos Roof?

  • Health & Safety: Asbestos fibres can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Once the material weathers or breaks, it becomes a serious risk.

  • Insurance & Property Value: Many insurers refuse to cover homes with asbestos roofs. It can also reduce the sale value of your home.

  • Regulatory Compliance: NZ laws now require strict handling and disposal of asbestos-containing materials. Leaving it in place may not be compliant.
