Class B Asbestos Decramastic Roof Removal in Auckland – Why Roofers Trust PropertyHelp Ltd to Keep Homeowners Safe
Class B Asbestos Decramastic Removal in Auckland – Why Roofers Trust PropertyHelp Ltd
Decramastic roofs look harmless—just old pressed metal tiles from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. But here’s the truth most homeowners never hear: the coating on those tiles almost always contains asbestos, and after 40+ years of sun, rain, and wear, that coating breaks down into a powdery, flaky mess.
Roofers know this better than anyone. They’re the ones walking on it, cutting around it, and trying to replace it. And the moment they see those tiles, they call in PropertyHelp Ltd, Auckland’s trusted Class B Asbestos Removalist, because disturbing old decramastic tiles without proper controls can contaminate your entire property.
Why Decramastic Roofs Are a Hidden Asbestos Risk
- The original bitumen coating contained bonded asbestos fibres
- Age makes the coating friable, meaning fibres can break loose
- Walking on the tiles can cause cracking and flaking
- Waterblasting or reroofing can release airborne asbestos
If your home has decramastic tiles, assume asbestos is present until proven otherwise.
Why Roofers Don’t Remove Decramastic Tiles Themselves
Roofers are experts at installing new roofs—not handling asbestos. They rely on Class B asbestos removalists because:
- NZ law requires licensed removalists for most asbestos roofing work
- Roofers don’t carry negative‑pressure units, decon setups, or HEPA systems
- Cutting or lifting tiles can release fibres into the air
- They don’t want to contaminate your home, your gutters, or your neighbour’s place
- Insurance won’t cover asbestos mistakes
Roofers want to keep your home safe—and keep themselves safe too.
