Asbestos roofs in Boksburg
Boksburg grew up on the 1887 gold reef and most of its housing stock in Boksburg North, Boksburg South, Comet, Reiger Park and Parkrand went up between the 1940s and the 1980s, when grey corrugated asbestos-cement was the default roof. The industrial belt along Jet Park, Anderbolt and North Rand Road carries the same sheeting on factories and workshops, often with asbestos side-cladding and gutters.
Boksburg is one of the shortest trips to the Holfontein landfill at Springs, so disposal sits at the lower end of the band. Single-storey mine-era houses with straightforward access are the easiest jobs in Gauteng.

Check the registration before you sign
A corrugated asbestos roof is Type 2 work, which only a contractor registered with the Department of Employment and Labour may do. Some contractors' registrations run out on 1 July 2027, so check the expiry date before you sign. Every registered name and expiry date is on the list of registered asbestos contractors in Gauteng.
Questions people in Boksburg ask
Do Jet Park and Anderbolt factory roofs cost more than a Boksburg house?
The rate is the same R150 to R250 per m². What moves a factory quote is height access, asbestos side-cladding, roof lights and gutters, which are measured separately from the roof area, so industrial jobs in Jet Park, Anderbolt and along North Rand Road are priced after a site visit. The cost page works through a 500 m² warehouse line by line.
Why is disposal cheaper for a Boksburg roof?
Boksburg is one of the shortest trips to the Holfontein hazardous-waste landfill at Springs, the licensed site the Gauteng trade uses, so the transport and disposal line sits at the lower end of the band. You still receive a disposal certificate.
Can the asbestos gutters on my Boksburg North house go in the same job?
Yes. Mine-era houses in Boksburg North, Boksburg South and Comet often have asbestos-cement gutters and downpipes as well as the roof. Mention them when you ask for a quote: they come off under the same notice to the Department, go to the same landfill and are counted separately from the roof area.
Boksburg's mine-era houses are among the simplest asbestos roofs in Gauteng to strip: single-storey, easy to reach, and one of the shortest trips to the Holfontein landfill at Springs. Expect R150 to R250 per m² to strip and dispose of, from R500 per m² for a new steel roof, and about three weeks from quote to clearance certificate. Ask for the asbestos gutters to be priced in the same job.
