Hi
We have a small stone built outbuilding adjoing our home, and we would like to change the roof on it.
It is currently a corrigated metal type roof, and on the original survey report (from when we bought the house 5 years ago) it does say there is a chance there may be asbestos.
Can anyone recommend a company to check if it is asbestos first of all, & quote to remove it?
This is my first property so I have no idea where to start!
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
If you are in Belfast you can ask Belfast City Council for assistance.

You could even get them to take it away for you (provided the roof is quite small) though be warned that they don't take away asbestos weighing more than 120 kilos.
We found the cheapest way to dispose of a garage asbestos roof was to hire builders to remove it and then get a covered skip from Eastwood http://www.eastwoodltd.com/ who then dumped the asbestos.
The city council is the best place to start though.
Cheers,
