Why Removing Your Asbestos
Roof Matters for Your Business
Asbestos roofing deteriorates over time, releasing harmful fibres into the air. South African regulations require that all asbestos materials be safely managed or removed by approved contractors. Our team ensures full compliance with the Asbestos Abatement Regulations (2020) — protecting your workers, your property, and the environment.
What about Residential Homes with Asbestos Roofs?
At present the removal of asbestos roofs for residential homes is not yet enforced, but consider replacement now instead of over 5 years when it will be a lot more expensive.
Why is it a smart decision?
NEW ROOF – A SMART LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
Yes, a new roof is an investment — but one that pays you back for decades.
✔ 15-year guarantee ✔ 40+ year lifespan ✔ No more leaks – ever
✔ No more damage to ceilings, walls, or furniture ✔ No more yearly repair costs
✔ No more stress, arguments, or unexpected expenses
💰 Save money now – building costs are rising rapidly, and delaying will only make it more expensive later.
📈 Increase your property value – typically by up to 1.5× your investment.
😴 Peace of mind – sleep well knowing your home is protected for the long term.
⚠️ The only real downside?
* Upfront cost
* Possible need for financing
👉 The real question: keep paying for repairs every year, or invest once and be done for the next 40 years?
A new roof isn’t an expense — it’s a permanent solution.

Asbestos Removal FAQ
How long do we have left to remove all our Asbestos Roofing & Cladding?
Living in SA with such an unpredictable government, it is a very difficult to answer this with 100% certainty. At first, the cut off date was 2020 but less than 15% of all Industrial Asbestos have yet been removed. An extension will definitely be granted but uncertain until when.
Is removal of our Asbestos Roofing the only solution?
No, there is another option available. However, this option will cost more or less the same as a new roof and you will need a roof clearance certificate done every 2 years at your expense. A rep will explain further.
How dangerous is Asbestos?
Very dangerous. The risks occur when the Asbestos becomes old, brittle and/or damaged. The Asbestos fibres then become airborne. When these fibres are inhaled, they do not decompose and remain on the lungs. This can cause serious, even fatal lung diseases.
Can my neighboring factory sue me for having Asbestos on my site?
As unfortunate as this may seem, the answer is yes. There are a number of lawsuits currently in progress regarding this matter. Let’s use 1 example: Your factory sets are adjacent. You have Asbestos roofing or cladding. These asbestos fibres get blown from your premises to a next neighbor. A rep will explain further.
Shouldn’t I just sell my property before spending all this money?
Selling will not resolve your problem. The whole world knows SA has a total ban on Asbestos and any buyer in their right mind will most certainly use this when wanting to buy or negotiate the property price. You will have to discount the fund to replace the roof with a new roof and/or 3 rental they will quote and then deduct this amount from their original offer. By doing your roof first, you will most definitely will get a better price for your property. In most cases, your property value will go up more than what you have spent.
We are wanting to go solar or off the grid. Can we do it on our Asbestos roof?
Definitely not. There are many reasons for this answer but I will mention 2 only. A rep will be able to answer you further.
- You may not drill, cut or damage Asbestos in any form or way.
- You would not want to spend such a large amount of money and then having to take it all down again at a later stage to remove your Asbestos.
Why not just replace it with Nutec fiber cement sheets?
Nutec is a very inferior product to Asbestos. We at ACR do not even allow our workers to go onto a Nutec roof at all. Nutec is a very weak product and not worth the lives of any of our staff and/or your staff.
If we decide to replace our Asbestos roof, will our factory or warehouse ever be left open over night?
Definitely not. We have 2 teams on site. One team will remove while the next team will come behind them and install your new roofing and/or cladding system. Due to our unpredictable weather conditions we can not and will never leave a site until your roof is 100% completed.
Can All Cape Roofing give us a quote on removal and replacement of a roof this big scale?
We will and are more than glad to do it. Our biggest job to date was for Shoprite Africa in Luanda Angola. We removed and replaced 18000m2 of Asbestos roof sheets.This 18000sqm excludes all side cladding and structural steel work that we had to do.
