It'll be suspected as I assume they haven't been tested? Generally asbestos cement sheeting and tiles are non-licensed work as they're lower risk. There'll be a higher cost but unlikely to be excessive. Factor it in to your negotiations based on his estimate.

The surveyor tells me that the house I'm looking at has asbestos roof tiles. The roof is in decent condition so shouldn't need replacing any time soon but he reckons it will probably cost an extra few thousand for removal, disposal, etc when it does need repairing.
Anyone had any experience of this and whether that's the kind of figures I'd be looking at? Cheers
