Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
