Registered contractor checks

A contractor's registration is only valid for three years, so look at the expiry date before you hire.

Ask who files the seven-day notice with the Department.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost to strip a roof on a Gqeberha house?

Budget about R28 000 – R65 000 for a 120 – 150 m² house roof, and R7 500 – R16 000 for a garage. Read more on roof sheet removal. Fixed prices follow a site visit.

Does Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality need to approve my asbestos removal?

Removal falls under the Department of Employment and Labour, which gets notice about seven days ahead. For the new roof, ask Nelson Mandela Bay building control, as like-for-like replacement is minor work nationally.

How should a complex or office in Gqeberha handle old asbestos sheeting?

Have it tested, then ask a registered contractor to remove or seal it. Label roof access points while it stays.

Can I stay in my Gqeberha home while ceiling boards come out?

Ask how rooms are sealed and when the clearance reading happens. Occupied buildings take longer because of that containment.

Who sends the paperwork to the Labour Department for my job?

Your registered contractor files it, naming the approved inspection authority. Ask for a copy.
