Asbestos roof encapsulation in Durbanville
Asbestos-cement coating is not an ordinary roof-painting job. South African rules prohibit cleaning or preparing the asbestos-cement surface, so we only consider encapsulation where a coating can be applied lawfully to the material as it stands.

What the asbestos rules change about the job
South Africa's Asbestos Abatement Regulations prohibit cleaning or preparing asbestos-cement surfaces. The Department of Employment and Labour's asbestos FAQ states that encapsulation with a rubber or synthetic coating may be allowed, but without surface preparation or cleaning.
Williams & Co does not pressure wash, clean, scrape, sand, brush, cut, drill, grind, break, remove or dispose of asbestos-containing material. We only quote a coating where it can be applied lawfully to the existing surface as-is and the proposed system can meet the applicable product requirements.
When we will consider encapsulation
We assess visible condition without disturbing the material. A coating proposal only moves forward where the asbestos-cement surface can remain uncleaned and unprepared, the coating can be applied to it as-is, and the applicable product requirements can still be met.
If the roof is too damaged, the substrate is unsuitable, or the coating would require prohibited preparation to bond properly, we stop and recommend the appropriate asbestos-specialist route instead.

Budgeting
What asbestos encapsulation costs in Durbanville
Encapsulation of a sound asbestos roof runs in the region of R265 to R320 per square metre depending on condition, access and pitch.
That is typically well under half the cost of stripping, disposing of and replacing the same roof.
One fixed price for the whole roof once we have inspected it.
