To check the concrete for asbestos look out for thin pieces of it containing small fibres.
These fibres have broken free from the cement.
As a result of really good planning and organization most of our asbestos cement roof sheet removal and replacement jobs are completed within one day so the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Although most of the asbestos fibres have been bound by the cement there are a comparatively higher number of fibres released.
My garage is i believe a 1980s kit one with a corrugated asbestos roof.
From going inside and having a look around the roof on my side is made up of several large sheets of asbestos running towards the centre from the outside wall with some smaller pieces.
I have tried the usual bitumen at joints and then an expensive paint on preparation which failed within weeks.
I m hoping someone can offer advice with regard to my leaking roof.
In our experience the roof may leak more after over cladding or coating painting than it did before the work was done.
Take care not to disturb the asbestos it s more dangerous when tampered with.
Wear a face mask gloves and cover any bare skin.
