Aspestos roof on garage?
Options
Rapished
Posts: 174 Forumite
Just had a report done on the house we're looking to buy, its come back with an asbestos styled roof on the garage which is a fair size 7 meters long,
When it comes to repairs, is it a case of getting in a pro, or can it be done if I suited up with a mouth mask, as it stands its in good condition but few drill sized holes to be filled as I don't want it drippig in when it rains etc.

It's not necessary to get a pro if you are careful outdoors and wear a mask, especially if you are just filling in holes.
A nut & bolt with something like a tap washer would do those, but ones on the ridges won't leak a lot anyway.0 -
Have a look on YouTube there are lots of samples of asbestos roof repairs, it's the dust that's dangerous so any work needs to be done must meet all the regulations.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
