Asbestos Removal Die Wilgers — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
On many Die Wilgers houses the main roof is tiled, and the asbestos is around the edges — the gutters, downpipes, fascia boards and eaves linings fitted when the house was built.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Die Wilgers QuotesWhich Die Wilgers Houses Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original freestanding houses | Largely 1970s – 1980s | Cement gutters, downpipes, eaves soffit boards |
| Fascia boards | 1970s – 1980s | Cement fascias, often painted to look like timber |
| Outbuildings and garages | 1970s – 1980s | Roof sheeting |
| Partly renovated houses | Any | Mixed systems — new gutters on one side, old on another |
Walk around the house: half-replaced gutter runs are common, and the old sections are the ones to test.
The Roof Edge
- Gutters fail at joints and brackets. Cement gutters crack where they are bolted together and where hail or a ladder has knocked them.
- Downpipes break at the bottom. Wheelie bins, lawnmowers and cars clip the lower lengths, leaving broken ends near paving.
- Fascias hide behind paint. A painted cement fascia can pass for timber until someone tries to drill or plane it.
- Soffit boards carry vents and lights. Every fitting cut into the eaves lining over the years is a broken edge.
Replacing Gutters Without Touching The Roof
Gutters and downpipes are among the smallest and quickest asbestos jobs. The roof tiles stay where they are, the old runs come down in sections under wet methods, and new aluminium or steel gutters go up the same day or the next. Fascias and soffits can be added to the same visit if you are replacing them anyway, which is cheaper than coming back later.
Seamless gutter installers are not asbestos contractors. Have the old cement gutters taken down and disposed of by a registered contractor first, or use an installer who works with one.

Compare Die Wilgers QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
My gutters are grey, thick and heavy. Are they asbestos?
Quite possibly on a house of that age. A laboratory test on one sample confirms it.
Can I just paint the old gutters?
Painting sound gutters is possible, but cracked or leaking ones should be replaced. Do not sand or wire-brush them first.
Only one length is broken. Can it be replaced on its own?
Yes, but matching old cement profiles is difficult, so most owners replace the whole run.
Do the soffits have to come down with the gutters?
No. They are separate and can stay if undamaged. It is simply cheaper to do them in the same visit.
