What to check when hiring asbestos removals in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge an asbestos removal
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- In South Africa asbestos work must be done by a contractor registered with the Department of Employment and Labour under the Asbestos Abatement Regulations, and an Approved Inspection Authority (AIA), independent of the contractor, must do the air monitoring and clearance. Verify the registration.
- The contractor must submit an asbestos work plan to the Department before starting. Ask to see it.
- Confirm an Approved Inspection Authority will issue a clearance certificate before the area is reoccupied.
- Confirm asbestos liability insurance and that waste goes to a permitted hazardous-waste site, with a safe-disposal certificate you are given.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Not registered with the Department of Employment and Labour for asbestos work, or unable to name the Approved Inspection Authority doing the air monitoring.
- Dry-removing, breaking, or power-tooling asbestos rather than keeping it wet and using hand tools.
- No independent clearance certificate offered after the work.
- Vague about the permitted disposal site, or won't provide a safe-disposal certificate.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you registered with the Department of Employment and Labour for asbestos work, and can I see it?
- Which Approved Inspection Authority does the air monitoring and clearance certificate?
- Will you submit an asbestos work plan to the Department before starting?
- Which permitted site will the waste go to, and will I get a safe-disposal certificate?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy asbestos removal?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. An asbestos removal backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend asbestos removals for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Asbestos removals are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring an asbestos removal?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the asbestos removal, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
