Asbestos Removal Kloof — compare quotes from registered asbestos contractors covering the area. Roof sheeting, ceilings, gutters, cladding, testing and disposal.
Kloof is one of the older Upper Highway villages, with homes on large, wooded and often steep erven, many of them extended several times. The asbestos is usually on the older parts of the house, the outbuildings and the staff cottages, and summer hail is what tends to find it.
Your street, what the material is and roughly how much of it there is.
Get Kloof QuotesWhich Kloof Properties Have It
| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Original village houses | 1920s – 1950s | Ceilings, soffits, outbuilding roofs, gutters |
| Post-war extensions and new homes | 1950s – 1980s | Roof sheeting, carports, store roofs, fascias |
| Staff cottages and outbuildings | Pre-1990s | Roof sheeting, ceilings, flat-sheet walls |
| Estates and newer builds | 1990s+ | None |
Houses extended in stages often have asbestos on one wing and modern material on the next, so a survey is worth more here than an assumption.
Hail, Gradients And Large Erven
- Hail cracks brittle sheeting. Upper Highway summer storms are harder than at the coast, and cracked asbestos cement is a common insurance-driven enquiry.
- Gorge-side plots are steep. Hand-carrying sheets up to a vehicle adds labour, and scaffolding on a slope adds more.
- Multiple structures per property. The main house, a cottage, garages and a store can all carry different materials.
After A Hailstorm
Do not climb onto a hail-damaged asbestos roof to inspect or tarp it. Asbestos cement does not carry foot traffic even when intact. Photograph from the ground, keep people away from fallen fragments, call your insurer, and get a contractor to make it safe. Ask the insurer early whether the claim covers removal and replacement or only the damaged sheets, because that decides the scope.

Compare Kloof QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Will insurance pay to remove a hail-damaged asbestos roof?
Sometimes. Removal that follows an insured event is often covered; age and wear generally are not. Confirm the scope with your insurer before appointing a contractor.
Can I tarp the roof myself after a storm?
Not by walking on it. Asbestos cement is brittle and does not carry foot traffic. Leave the roof to a contractor.
Is it worth surveying the whole house?
On an extended Kloof house, yes. Different wings often date from different decades and only some will contain asbestos.
Does a steep plot change the method?
It changes the logistics. Sheets are still removed whole and lowered, then carried to the vehicle by hand, which adds time.
