Asbestos roof removal in Pretoria
Asbestos roof removal in Pretoria costs R150 to R250 per m², the same rate as the rest of Gauteng. Pretoria is one of the longest drives in the province to the Holfontein landfill at Springs, so the transport shows as its own line on the quote.
From Pretoria West homes to Rosslyn and Silverton factories: registered removal teams only, a fixed quote after the site visit and a certificate on every job. About three weeks start to finish. Type the address, draw the part that needs to go, and the price is on the screen.

Asbestos roofs in Pretoria
Pretoria’s asbestos roofing sits in Pretoria West, Hercules, Daspoort, Danville, Booysens, Capital Park and Villieria, suburbs built between the 1930s and the 1970s, and in the Silverton, Waltloo, Koedoespoort and Rosslyn industrial areas. Older Centurion and Lyttelton carry the same era of housing.
The drive from Pretoria to Holfontein is one of the longest in the province, so a transport line appears on the quote; the per-m² removal rate is the same. The nearest asbestos disposal site near you, town by town, is on the disposal page. Government and school buildings with asbestos roofs fall under the inventory duty that has applied since May 2022.

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 21 March 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 Pretoria ask
Why does a Pretoria quote include a transport line?
The drive from Pretoria to the Holfontein landfill at Springs is one of the longest in Gauteng, so it shows as a separate transport line. The per-m² removal rate is the same as on the East Rand.
Do Tshwane schools and government buildings need an asbestos inventory?
Yes, where they are workplaces. The 2020 Asbestos Abatement Regulations require the employer to have a competent person list asbestos-containing materials in an inventory of asbestos in place, a duty that has applied since May 2022.
Are the Rosslyn, Silverton and Waltloo industrial roofs covered?
Yes. Rosslyn, Silverton, Waltloo and Koedoespoort have asbestos-cement factory roofs. Industrial jobs are priced after a site visit for height, roof lights and side-cladding.
Stripping a Pretoria roof costs the same R150 to R250 per m² as elsewhere in Gauteng, but Holfontein is across the province near Springs, so a Pretoria quote carries a separate transport line. Government and school buildings also fall under the asbestos inventory duty.
