Asbestos Removal Erasmuskloof — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
In Erasmuskloof asbestos usually surfaces because someone is building — an extension tied into the old roof, a kitchen with the ceiling opened up, or a wall knocked through on a split-level house.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Erasmuskloof QuotesWhere Erasmuskloof Homes Hide It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original houses on the slopes | Largely 1970s – 1980s | Eaves soffits, outbuilding roofs, ceiling boards in parts |
| Split-level and lower-floor additions | 1980s | Sheeting over lower levels and flat-roof sections |
| Townhouse and cluster complexes | 1980s – 1990s | Garage roofs, gutters, vent pipes |
| Recent extensions | 2000s+ | None in the new work, but often joined to older material |
The risk sits at the joins: where a newer roof, wall or ceiling meets the original one.
What Building Work Uncovers
- Tying a new roof into an old one. The builder has to cut back or overlap the existing sheeting, which is exactly where uncontrolled breakage happens.
- Opening ceilings. Downlights, air conditioning and new bulkheads all mean cutting into boards that may not be gypsum.
- Knocking through for open-plan. Older lower-level rooms sometimes have board linings or soffits that come down with the wall.
Survey Before The Builder Starts
The cheapest point to deal with asbestos is before the plans are final. An inspection of the areas affected by the alterations tells you what has to come out, and a registered contractor removes it before the builder moves in. Builders are not registered asbestos contractors and should stop on any suspect material. Building plans for structural or roof changes still go through the City of Tshwane as normal; the removal simply comes first.
Steep driveways and terraced gardens mean sheets are often carried down by hand to the truck. That access time shows up in the quote, so mention the slope when you describe the job.

Compare Erasmuskloof QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
My builder found grey sheeting halfway through the job. What now?
Stop work on that element, get it tested and have a registered contractor remove it if positive.
Can my builder take it out to save time?
Only if the builder is a registered asbestos contractor. Most are not, and removal by an unregistered firm is not compliant.
Do I need an inspection before submitting plans?
It is not a plan requirement, but surveying the affected areas first stops the asbestos from becoming a variation order halfway through the build.
Does a steep stand cost more?
Usually a little, because hand-carrying sheets down terraces adds labour.
