Which Northern Suburbs Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Post-war housing | 1940s – 1960s | Ceilings, garage roofs, gutters, soffits |
| Suburban expansion stock | 1960s – 1980s | Garage and carport roofs, store roofs |
| Industrial belts and light industry | 1960s – 1980s | Large-profile sheeting, wall cladding, plant linings |
| Modern estates and complexes | 1990s+ | None |
Most residential jobs here are garage and outbuilding roofs; the main house roofs were commonly tiled.
What Is Different About This Side Of Town
- Uniform stock makes jobs shareable. Streets built out in one phase carry identical garage roofs, and contractors price groups well below individual properties.
- The industrial belts carry the tonnage. Sacks Circle, Everite, Epping and Brackengate run thousands of square metres per roof.
- Disposal is close. The permitted facility sits on this side of the metro, which trims the haulage line.
Group The Work
Because the residential stock is uniform, the single biggest saving available here is combining jobs: several structures on one property, or several neighbouring properties on one mobilisation. Set-up, exclusion zone and disposal run are charged once. On identical garage roofs that routinely takes 25 to 35 per cent off the per-property price.

Compare Northern Suburbs QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Which Northern Suburbs have the most asbestos?
Parow, Goodwood and older Bellville have the highest residential hit rates, largely in ceilings. Newer estates in Durbanville and Brackenfell generally have none.
Can a whole street be quoted as one job?
Yes, and on uniform stock it is the cheapest way to do it. One mobilisation across three or four identical garage roofs cuts the per-property rate substantially.
Should I be checking the house roof or the garage?
Usually not. Most Northern Suburbs houses were tiled; the garage, carport or store is the typical finding.
Is industrial work priced differently?
Entirely. Above roughly 500 square metres it moves to the industrial rate with a plan of work and notification behind it.
