| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Earliest Sunningdale phases | Early 1990s | Borderline — garage roofs and soffits worth testing |
| Main development | Late 1990s – 2000s | None |
| Townhouse and security complexes | 2000s+ | None |
| Sheds, stores and carports added by owners | Varies | Reclaimed sheeting occasionally |
If the title deed or building plan predates about 1996, a test is worth it. After that it almost never is.
Check The Plan Date First
- Building plans date the structure. The approved plan date at the City is a better guide than the suburb's reputation, and it costs nothing to check.
- Extensions can be older or newer than the house. A garage added second-hand can carry material the main house never had.
- One sample ends the question. Cheaper than a site visit from three contractors quoting on an assumption.
Where It Does Turn Up
The realistic finding in Sunningdale is not the house roof but an owner-added structure: a carport, a Wendy house on a slab, a tool store at the back. Material salvaged from demolition elsewhere was still being reused on these long after it left the retail market. That is what to photograph and send through when you request quotes.

Compare Sunningdale QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Does Sunningdale have asbestos?
Generally no. Only the earliest phases from the early 1990s sit in the transition era, and a single test settles those.
How do I find out when my house was built?
The approved building plan date held by the City is the most reliable source, and it is usually enough to close the question.
What about the Wendy house at the back?
Worth checking. Second-hand sheeting on owner-added structures is the most common genuine finding in newer suburbs.
Is there a minimum charge for a small job?
Yes. Set-up, PPE and disposal cost much the same whether it is one sheet or twenty, so expect a minimum in the region of R7,000 to R15,000.
