Asbestos Removal Gillitts — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Gillitts grew up as smallholdings, and a lot of it still looks that way: houses on several acres with stables, tack rooms, workshops and sheds, many of them roofed in asbestos cement and left alone for decades.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.

Outbuildings make up most of the square metreage on a typical Gillitts property.
Many Structures, One Mobilisation
- Count every roof on the property. A stable block, a workshop and a cottage can add up to more sheeting than the house.
- Animals change the plan. Horses and livestock need to be moved away from the exclusion zone before work starts.
- Old stockpiles are common. Sheets taken off a roof years ago and stacked behind a shed still need proper disposal.
Price The Whole Property
Set-up, the exclusion zone and the disposal run cost the same whether a crew removes one roof or four, so the per-square-metre rate falls quickly when everything on the property is done in one visit. Walk the whole erf before asking for quotes and list every structure, including the stacked sheets nobody wants to think about.

Compare Gillitts QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Do the horses need to be moved?
Yes, out of the exclusion zone and ideally out of sight of the work. Agree the timing with the contractor in advance.
What do I do with sheets stacked behind the shed?
Leave them undisturbed and include them in the quote. They need the same wrapping, transport and disposal as a roof.
Is stable sheeting different from house sheeting?
Usually it is the larger profile, heavier per sheet, and often in worse condition because it has never been maintained.
Is it cheaper to do everything at once?
Almost always. Fixed costs are charged once instead of per structure.
