Asbestos Removal Edgemead — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Edgemead is 1970s and 1980s stock on generous plots, so the common job is not one garage roof but a garage plus a store, a carport and sometimes a Wendy house — all on the same visit.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Edgemead QuotesWhich Edgemead Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original Edgemead | 1970s – 1980s | Garage roofs, carports, store roofs, soffits |
| Later extensions and granny flats | 1980s – 1990s | Lean-to roofs, boundary panels |
| Owner-added sheds and Wendy houses | Varies | Reclaimed sheeting |
| Modern rebuilds | 2000s+ | None |
Plot sizes here mean more outbuildings per property than in the surrounding suburbs, which changes how the job should be quoted.
Quote The Whole Property, Not One Roof
- Multiple structures, one mobilisation. Set-up, exclusion zone and disposal run are charged once whether it is one roof or four.
- Reclaimed sheeting on owner-added structures. Wendy houses and tool stores often carry salvaged material the main buildings never had.
- Get the sheds included in the walk-round. Finding one after the contractor has left means paying the minimum charge twice.
What Doing It Piecemeal Costs
Three separate visits for a garage, a carport and a store will each carry the minimum charge, which lands somewhere near R21,000 to R45,000 in total. The same three structures on one visit typically comes in between R14,000 and R30,000. Walk the property with the contractor and list everything before the quote is written.

Compare Edgemead QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Should I do all the outbuildings at once?
Yes. The minimum charge applies per visit, so three structures on one day costs far less than three separate jobs.
Does my Wendy house roof count?
If it is asbestos cement, yes. Reclaimed sheeting on owner-added structures is common and still needs a registered contractor.
Is the house roof a concern, or just the outbuildings?
Usually not in Edgemead — most were tiled. The outbuildings are the finding.
Can the new roofs go on the same day?
On small structures, yes, if replacement is in the quote. Ask for removal and replacement as separate lines.
