Company Profile

Louis J Botha, a Capetonian from birth, grew up in Parow and started his business career in 1971 when he joined his late father in a Demolition Company founded in 1958.  He took the Company over after his father died in 1979 and built a strong, vibrant business with some 70 employees.

They concentrated on the building industry and specialised in high rise structures. They made use of conventional methods and explosives.  A Large section of the Company was involved in the earthmoving and plant hire sector.  They made use of the most modern equipment available at the time.

In 1991 he decided to sell the Demolition and Earthmoving Co. and made various other types of investments. 

The longing for the construction field was too great and from the experience and expertise accumulated during a construction career of 20 years, he founded Western Cape Asbestos Removals in 2000 after getting involved in the Asbestos field during 1998.

The experience gained in the Demolition field with Asbestos, made it a natural transition and today they are running a competitive business in the removal of Asbestos.  At the same time they are doing re-insulation of all kinds to meet the customer's needs.
