re-roof and asbestos removal

[Lizzybennett]

Thanks in advance for any help.

We have a holiday home in the midlands , a small cottage, built in three chunks. End of house is bathroom with corrigated asbestos roof, middle is asbestos tiles and end regular tiles. The roof was fine until someone tried to break in, or kids messing. They must have got on the bathroom roof where the asbestos sheeting is and broke all the sheeting, and the ridge tiles there.

We now find ourselves in a mess as the insurance company will not cover this. We do not have the finance to cover this particularily at this time but needless to say we have to sort it out. Would anyone have any idea as to how to go about this sort this and possibly the cost involved, I am aware that we will have to go through the proper channels for the asbestos removal, but any advice will be much appreciated. The bathroom roof is sloped together or gable i think and about the size of a garage

Hi Lizzy,

Sorry to hear about the break-in.

You may find some useful information on previous threads with references to asbestos.

I have moved your thread to hopefully get some recommendations but it will also remain in the H&G forum for a month so it keeps both options open.

Hope you can get it sorted.

S.E.
