What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
