Damaged asbestos roof on garage on property we are buying

[Deleted User]

Thanks all, I have now had a response from the local council who tell me that we do not need to use a specialist asbestos removal company for this type of asbetos roof and a detailed document on how to do this safely, how to wrap it and how to dispose of it, so looks like it may be cheaper than I first thought.

I had help from a friend and we removed the roof ourselves and took to the tip.
Saved me £500 just needed an angle grinder to cut the bolts and hose pipe to dampen down the roof as this cuts down the dust. Gloves, Goggles, face mask, van or estate car. The council even has guidelines and posted them out to me.
This was for white corrugated roof sections used on many garages in the 1930,s until the 1970,s
Very different story if you are dealing with blue asbestos
