Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Gordon's Bay QuotesWhich Gordon's Bay Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Old Gordon's Bay and harbour side | 1940s – 1970s | Roof sheeting, ceilings, outbuilding roofs, gutters |
| Mountainside and Temperance Town | 1950s – 1980s | Garage roofs, carports, terraced outbuildings |
| Older flats and holiday blocks | 1960s – 1980s | Communal store roofs |
| Modern estates and rebuilds | 1990s+ | None |
Terraced mountainside properties frequently have no vehicle access to the rear, which is the main cost driver on those sites.
Wind And Slope
- Storm damage is routine. Lifted and cracked sheets after a south-easter are a recurring call here, and broken material costs more to clear than intact.
- Terraced sites mean hand-carry. Wrapped sheets carried up or down steps to a vehicle adds significant time.
- Fixings fail before sheets do. Corroded hook bolts in a salt-laden wind are the usual failure point.
Sheets that have come off in the wind should be left where they lie. No sweeping, no hosing. Photograph them, keep the area clear and get a contractor out.
Repair Or Remove
Re-fixing a lifted asbestos cement sheet means drilling into it, which is disturbance and needs a registered contractor regardless. Once you are paying for that mobilisation, the marginal cost of removing the roof rather than patching it is smaller than most owners expect. Get both priced on the same visit.

Compare Gordon's Bay QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Sheets blew off in the wind. Can they just be refitted?
Refitting means drilling the sheet, which is disturbance and needs a registered contractor anyway. At that point removal is often the better spend.
What do I do with the broken pieces?
Leave them. No sweeping or hosing. Keep people and pets clear, cover them if you safely can, and photograph them.
Why does my quote include a carry charge?
Terraced mountainside properties often have no vehicle access to the rear, so wrapped material is carried by hand.
Is it cheaper than Somerset West?
Broadly the same per square metre. Access is what varies between properties here.
