Hi everyone,

I have a fence (well actually a neighbours) that is the corrugated
grey / white sheet material that has reached the end of its life - the
concrete posts have crumbled and the wooden cross beams are all but
rotted away.

The plan was for me to help the neighbour replace the fence, but they
have now decided to also get a quote from "professional". Now after
nuch sucking of teeth the "professional" has declared that the fence
is asbestos that requires professional removal, full chemical suits
and "is going to be expensive".

Now, I might be wrong, but I thought that this type of panel was not
necessarily asbestos based and that it would need testing to confirm
this? Secondly, as the panels are not disintegrating in any way, is it
safe to carefully remove "DIY" and if so what precautions should be
taken and how should it e disposed of?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Paul
