Asbestos Removal Parklands — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Parklands was developed almost entirely from the late 1990s onwards, so the honest answer for most properties here is that there is nothing to remove.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Parklands QuotesWhich Parklands Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Parklands proper, all phases | 1998 onwards | None — built after asbestos products were phased out |
| Parklands North | 2005 onwards | None |
| Older properties on the Table View border | Pre-1990s | Garage roofs, gutters, soffits |
| Second-hand structures added later | Varies | Reclaimed sheeting on carports and sheds |
The one genuine risk in Parklands is second-hand material: a carport or shed roofed with reclaimed sheets salvaged off an older property.
What To Check Instead
- Reclaimed sheeting on outbuildings. Salvaged asbestos cement was still being reused on informal carports and sheds long after it stopped being sold.
- Properties on the older boundary. Streets adjoining original Table View stock can predate the Parklands development entirely.
- A single test settles it. One laboratory sample costs a fraction of a removal quote and usually ends the question.
If a contractor quotes you for asbestos removal in Parklands without taking a sample, get a second opinion. Modern fibre cement looks identical and does not need any of this.
Do Not Pay Asbestos Rates For Fibre Cement
Non-asbestos fibre cement has been manufactured in the same profiles since the 1990s and is visually indistinguishable once painted and weathered. If your Parklands property tests negative, an ordinary roofing contractor can handle the work at a fraction of the cost, with no containment, no notification and no hazardous waste disposal.

Compare Parklands QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Does my Parklands house have asbestos?
Almost certainly not. The development began in the late 1990s, after asbestos products had been phased out of South African construction.
Why did a contractor tell me my roof is asbestos?
Modern fibre cement looks the same. Ask for a laboratory result before accepting an asbestos quote on a post-1998 property.
What about my shed or carport?
That is the one thing worth checking. Reclaimed sheeting salvaged off older properties turned up on informal structures well into the 2000s.
How much is a test?
Around R1,200 to R2,600 for a single sample collected on site and analysed, which is far less than acting on a guess.
