Asbestos Removal Mooikloof — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
On Mooikloof’s smallholdings the asbestos is rarely in the house — it is in the stables, sheds, cottages and the water system, and a single plot can carry more of it than a whole suburban street.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Mooikloof QuotesWhat A Mooikloof Plot Can Hold
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Stables, tack rooms and feed stores | Older agricultural buildings | Corrugated asbestos cement roofs, sometimes partition sheets |
| Workers’ cottages and storerooms | Largely pre-1990s | Roofs, ceilings, gutters |
| Borehole, tank and reservoir structures | Varies | AC water pipes, reservoir covers, pump-house roofs |
| Newer estate homes | 1990s onwards | Usually none |
The newer homes in the area’s estates are generally clean. It is the working buildings around them that need an inventory.
Water Pipes, Tanks And Reservoir Covers
- Underground AC pipe is common on older holdings. Asbestos cement pressure pipe was widely used for farm water lines. Buried and intact, it is usually left alone; it becomes an issue when it is dug up, cut or replaced.
- Cutting it is the risk. A plumber or borehole contractor using an angle grinder on an old pipe creates exactly the dust the regulations exist to prevent. Ask before anyone cuts into an old line.
- Reservoir and tank covers. Flat or corrugated cement covers over reservoirs and sumps are often asbestos cement and are often cracked; debris falling into stored water is the concern.
Animals, Feed And Scale
Stable roofs come with horses, feed and bedding underneath. Stalls are cleared and feed removed or sealed before work starts, and the contractor wets and wraps sheets from above rather than letting debris fall into the stalls. Because a plot often has several structures, have everything surveyed and priced together — a single mobilisation across stables, sheds and a cottage costs considerably less per square metre than three separate jobs, and the dry winter months suit an open roof over stalls far better than storm season.
Keep a copy of the inventory and disposal certificates with the title documents. Buyers of smallholdings ask about outbuilding roofs.

Compare Mooikloof QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Do I have to dig up old asbestos cement water pipes?
Not usually. Buried, intact pipe can stay. It needs a registered contractor when it is exposed, cut or replaced.
Where do the horses go during the work?
Out of the block being worked on, along with feed and bedding. Plan a day or two of alternative stabling.
Can old sheets be reused on another shed?
No. Removed asbestos cement goes to a permitted hazardous waste facility; it cannot be reused or given away.
Is one big job cheaper than several small ones?
Yes, per square metre. Mobilisation, containment and the disposal haul are shared across all the structures.
