Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
