Asbestos Removal Elardus Park — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.

Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Elardus Park QuotesWhich Elardus Park Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Garages built with the original house | Largely 1970s – 1980s | Corrugated sheeting behind a parapet or on a low-pitch garage roof |
| Add-on and freestanding carports | 1980s – early 1990s | Flat or shallow sheeting on steel or timber posts |
| Store rooms and staff rooms at the back | 1970s – 1980s | Outbuilding roof sheeting, occasionally board ceilings |
| Replaced carports and newer garages | Mid-1990s+ | Usually none — steel or modern fibre cement |
Check the garage before the house. A main roof under concrete tiles can sit right next to a garage still under its original asbestos cement.
Over The Cars: Garages And Carports
- Carport sheeting is exposed on both faces. The underside is open to the driveway, so a cracked sheet sheds directly where people walk, park and play.
- Low pitches hold debris. Leaves and hail stones sit on shallow carport roofs, keep the surface wet and speed up weathering of the cement.
- Everything comes out first. Vehicles, tools and boxes have to be cleared from the garage so the floor can be sheeted and cleaned afterwards.
Strip And Re-Sheet In One Visit
The posts, walls and purlins under an Elardus Park carport or garage roof are usually sound. The economical job is removal, disposal at a permitted hazardous waste facility in Gauteng and new IBR or corrugated steel sheeting in the same visit, so the garage is never left open to a summer storm.
Planning solar on the garage roof? Confirm what the sheeting is first — mounting rails should not be fixed into asbestos cement.

Compare Elardus Park QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Can the garage be done on its own without touching the house?
Yes. Garage and carport roofs are separate structures and are routinely quoted as stand-alone jobs.
My carport is open on three sides. Does it still need containment?
Yes. Work is done wet, sheets come off whole and the ground below is sheeted and cleaned. Open sides mean more attention to wind, not less.
Can I put solar panels on an asbestos garage roof?
Not advisable. Replace the roof first, then mount the panels on the new sheeting.
How long will I be without the garage?
A single or double garage is usually stripped and re-sheeted within one or two working days, weather permitting.
