Which Gauteng Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Older suburbs across the province | 1950s – 1980s | Ceilings, gutters, garage and outbuilding roofs |
| Industrial belts and business parks | 1960s – 1980s | Large-profile roof sheeting, cladding |
| Smallholdings and peri-urban areas | Pre-1990s | Sheds, stables, AC water pipes and tank covers |
| Post-2000 estates | 2000s+ | Usually none — modern fibre cement |
The materials are the same everywhere on the Highveld. What changes from one end of Gauteng to the other is the distance a crew and its waste have to travel.
Where The Crews Come From
- Many contractors are Johannesburg-based. For a job in Pretoria North or the far east of Tshwane, that means a long daily commute priced into the quote.
- Pretoria crews cover the north. A Tshwane-based contractor is often closer for Centurion, Montana and the eastern suburbs, and may beat a Johannesburg quote on travel alone.
- Ask both. The spread between a local and a cross-metro crew on the same roof can be wide, and it is not always in the direction you expect.
Disposal Haul And Batching
Asbestos waste has to go to a permitted hazardous waste facility in Gauteng, with a disposal certificate issued for each load. The haul from site to facility is a real cost, and a half-empty truck costs nearly as much to move as a full one. That is why batching pays: several buildings on one property, or several neighbours booking together, spreads travel and haulage across more square metres. Small single items in outlying areas carry the highest rate per square metre.
If a quote looks cheap, ask where the waste is going and whether you will receive a disposal certificate. Illegal dumping is the usual way corners are cut.

Compare Gauteng QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni?
Yes. Registered contractors quote across Gauteng, with travel and the disposal haul priced in.
Is a Johannesburg contractor more expensive for a Pretoria job?
Often a little, because of travel. Compare quotes from both cities before deciding.
How does batching lower the price?
One trip and one disposal run cover more material, so the fixed costs are shared across a larger area.
Why does a small job far out cost so much per square metre?
Travel, set-up and the haul are much the same for 15 square metres as for 50. A minimum charge usually applies.
