We remove any existing material that is currently on your roof including metal roofing, concrete tiles, butynol, and even asbestos, and remove it from the site. Then we will install new long-run roofing.
We hold a $2,000,000.00 Platinum Plus Public Liability insurance policy with NZI/Lumley Insurance. We do recommend that you also contact your own insurance company prior to work commencing to ensure that you are complying with your policy requirements as many residential insurance policies require that you advise them of any upcoming construction/renovation work.
Scaffolding costs vary depending on your roof’s height, the roof’s pitch, and the project’s complexity.
We give you a fixed price for scaffolding including all rent related to the roofing project and we won’t charge you more if the job is delayed due to bad weather.
Asbestos
When we remove your asbestos roof you do not need to move out of your house. However, during the day of the asbestos removal, you will either have to spend the day inside your home or away from the site for the day. You will not be able to come and go.
