Kraaifontein has a large stock of 1960s to 1980s housing where asbestos cement roofing and ceilings were standard, and where the practical question is usually how to phase the work rather than how to do all of it.

Where the main house roof is asbestos cement rather than tile, the job is larger than the typical Northern Suburbs garage.
Phasing A Bigger Job
- Condition sets the order. Cracked or shedding material first; sound, undisturbed material can be recorded and left for now.
- The roof cannot be half done. Unlike ceilings, a roof has to come off in one programme. Budget for the whole roof or coat it instead.
- Encapsulation buys time. A sound roof can be coated for roughly half the cost of stripping and re-sheeting, which defers the decision eight to fifteen years.
Coating As A Genuine Interim
Where the sheets are intact but weathering, a coating system runs roughly R180 to R450 per square metre against R76,000 to R158,000 to strip and re-sheet a house roof. It is not a permanent answer — the material stays in place and still has to be recorded — but for a household that cannot fund a re-roof this year it is a legitimate and safe option.

Compare Kraaifontein QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Can I remove half the roof now and half later?
No. A roof has to come off in one programme or the building is left open. Ceilings can be phased room by room; roofs cannot.
Is coating a legitimate option?
Yes, on sound sheets. It costs roughly half of stripping and re-sheeting and lasts eight to fifteen years, though the material stays in place.
What if I cannot afford either right now?
Get it inspected and recorded. Sound, undisturbed material managed in place is acceptable; deteriorating material shedding fibres is not.
Does the whole house have to be vacated?
For roof work, no. For whole-house ceiling removal done in one go, usually for several days.
