The new sheets aren't made of asbestos, Its a composite of different materials, as it is now illegal to manufacture or use anything aesbestos related. | |

The scary thing is i worked for a roofing company a few years back. We used to cut asbestos sheeting with grinders and saws, dust everywhere, and were nev er even issued overallys or masks, let alone all the decontamination chambers and PPE you get nowadays. Thank god i left after two years, not a lifetime of exposure. | |

Council will not touch asbestos they point you in the direction of an asbestos surveying company or removal company. I work for ARCA the Asbestos Trade Association - log onto www.arca.org.uk and find members in the area you live and give them a call if you require a piece testing log onto www.atac.org.uk and contact companies from ur area. | |

Ah right! I work for the local council, but didn't realise they'd do this. I'll ask around and see what they say. | |

No idea - can vary as to what type of asbestos it is. Best bet is to find a removal specialist and they can give you a firm price. | |

I'm having some ideas about changing the shed that is kind of built on the side of my house (pics to follow). Only thing is the roof that joins the side of my house and goes over my shed and next doors (one piece) is asbestos. I know it has to be removed by a specialist etc, any idea how much this costs? It leaks and with the plans I have for the shed it'd have to go anyway so that my shed and next doors will be seperate. |
