| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Parow Central and Parow East | 1940s – 1960s | Ceilings, garage roofs, gutters, soffits |
| Parow Valley and Ravensmead side | 1950s – 1970s | Roof sheeting, ceiling boards, boundary panels |
| Parow Industria | 1960s – 1980s | Roof sheeting and wall cladding |
| Recent townhouse infill | 2000s+ | None |
Expect to find it rather than hope not to. On a pre-1970 Parow house the question is usually how much, not whether.
Budgeting A Whole-Property Job
- Prioritise by condition, not by size. Anything cracked, broken or shedding comes first; sound material can be recorded and left.
- Phasing is normal. Doing the worst roof this year and the ceilings next is a legitimate plan, provided the inventory exists.
- A survey pays for itself. A prioritised list stops you spending on an intact roof while a broken garage roof sheds into the garden.
What A Full Property Comes To
On an older Parow house with asbestos ceilings, a garage roof and cement gutters, the combined figure usually lands between R55,000 and R120,000 if everything goes at once. That is a real number, and it is why the phased approach exists. A written inventory costing a few thousand rand gives you the order to do it in, which is the difference between a plan and a series of emergencies.

Compare Parow QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
My Parow house is from the 1950s. Does it definitely have asbestos?
Very likely somewhere — ceilings, garage roof or gutters. A single test on each material type confirms which.
Can I do it in stages?
Yes, and it is common here. Get an inventory first so the order is driven by condition rather than by which quote arrived.
What does the whole property cost?
Typically R55,000 to R120,000 for ceilings, garage roof and gutters done together. Phased over two or three years it costs somewhat more in total but spreads the load.
Does insurance cover any of it?
Sometimes, where removal follows an insured event like storm or fire damage. Age and deterioration are generally excluded.
