Frequently asked questions
Roughly what do Franschhoek asbestos roofers charge per square metre?
Cement sheet usually runs R180 – R420 per m² including disposal. Small jobs cost more per m² because set-up and inspection costs are fixed.
Do I need Stellenbosch Municipality approval to remove an asbestos roof in Franschhoek?
Labour rules govern the asbestos work itself. Ask Stellenbosch Municipality whether your re-roof needs plans, as structural changes do.
Can asbestos sheets come off in one piece in Franschhoek?
Usually. Crews dampen each sheet, unscrew it and lower it intact. Broken pieces are bagged and sealed on site.
My Franschhoek house is quite old. Could the ceilings contain asbestos too?
They might. Ask for an asbestos inspection of the ceiling boards, as removing them is priced separately from the roof.
Do wine estate design rules affect my new roof after removal?
They can, as estates often have architectural guidelines. Ask the estate office before you order sheeting.
