| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Freestanding family homes | Largely 1980s – 1990s | Carports, garage roofs, boundary-wall cappings |
| Back yards | 1980s | Wendy-house and tool-shed roofs, braai-area covers |
| Rooflines | 1980s | Fascias, barge boards, gutters on some houses |
| Townhouse complexes | 1990s+ | Usually none; check older communal carports |
Most of what turns up here is small and external. That makes it a manageable item in a sale rather than a deal-breaker.
Selling A House With Asbestos
- Confirm it before you argue about it. A lab test settles whether a carport is asbestos cement or modern fibre cement, and buyers often assume the worst.
- Disclose what you know. If you are aware of asbestos, put it in the condition report. A documented, quoted item is easier to negotiate than a surprise at inspection.
- Remove, discount or leave. Sound external sheeting can legally stay. Many sellers either remove it before listing or offer the buyer a price reduction backed by a written quote.
- Keep the paperwork. A disposal certificate from a permitted facility is the proof a buyer or their agent will ask for.
Buying In Rooihuiskraal
If you are the buyer, get a quote during the offer period rather than after transfer, while the number can still be negotiated. A short inspection covering roofs, outbuildings and rooflines costs far less than the argument it prevents. Work on the property only becomes your problem once it registers in your name.
Asbestos cement in sound condition is not illegal to own or sell. What matters is its condition, and that any removal is done by a registered contractor.

A single sample sent to a laboratory. Results usually take a few working days.
Can I get a quote before I own the house?
Yes, with the seller’s permission for access. It is the best time to get one.
What proof should I ask for after removal?
The disposal certificate, and an air-monitoring clearance where the job called for one.
