Strip-and-replace as the default
The covering comes off. A specified covering goes on. Sealing or encapsulating fibre-cement is not the offer we print here.
Legal strip-and-replace — not DIY seal
Asbestos roof removal in Somerset West
Asbestos roof removal and replacement in Somerset West: strip-and-replace of fibre-cement roofs. Not a DIY seal.
01
An asbestos roof on this site should be stripped and replaced as a legal removal job — not sold a seal as the default, and not claimed under a number we do not own.
Fibre-cement and asbestos-cement roofs still sit on Helderberg houses. Somerset West Roofing treats them as a strip-and-replace: the covering comes off under the legal removal rules that apply, and a specified covering — usually metal — goes on. This is related roofing work. Encapsulation, sealing and coating an asbestos roof are a different method some contractors sell. They are not our default. Operations must choose if that method is ever in scope. We will not promise it here. We do not invent a removal-contractor number as ours. We do not tell anyone to seal fibre-cement as a weekend job. The visit sees the covering, the access, and what replaces it. The replacement covering has its own card; this page holds the legal strip so that card is not a removal essay. Houses in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay are the ordinary brief.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
We do not invent a certificate
We will not print a removal-contractor number, a licence code, or anyone else's registration as ours. Stamp that later if a human can.
Not DIY seal
This is contractor removal and a new covering. It is not a coating you roll on over fibre-cement, and not a hardware-aisle seal.

Straight answers
Questions about asbestos roof removal.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Will you encapsulate or seal an asbestos roof instead of replacing it?+
Not as the default. Strip-and-replace is the card. Encapsulation is a different method; operations must choose if it is ever in scope.
Do you publish a removal-contractor registration as yours?+
No. We do not invent a certification number.
What covering goes back on?+
Usually a specified metal covering after the strip. That is a visit call. The replacement card holds the new covering; this card holds the legal removal.
