  • @horsee1 thanks that is really helpful. So in the hundreds region. I still rent but in my search when sharing a potential place the first thing people point out is an asbestos garage. Seems like people put a lot of emphasis on it when if it can be fixed for that much, in the grand scheme of a house price it isn't that much at all? Or is that naive/blissful ignorance?

    I think with that garage would get it removed first then, then look at making it less unattractive and getting a decent secure garage door for my bikes

  • I removed and disposed of an asbestos roof a few years ago, it's really not that bad, you buy the specific PPE and masks from somewhere sensible, take your time and try and minimise any breakages, if it is dry, spray it with water first as that stops a lot of potential dust.

    We had quite a lot so we got a specialist skip in to take it away, from memory it was about £1200 for 5 tonnes. Everything had to be double wrapped, but thankfully in a skip this just meant laying out two rolls of thick membrane and making it into a big parcel after it had been loaded.

    Getting it off the roof certainly wasn't a fun job, but I have done worse...
