Default Corrugated Asbestos Roof - what replacements?

Hi

I have an outside loo and a shed both brick built in the garden. They
are joined to the house but you have to go into the garden to get to
them.

I was told by the surveyor when I purchased the house that it had an
asbestos roof which would have to be replaced. The roof is corrugated
(with quite a steep sloping angle) and looks very much like a shed
roof.

Most of the roof structure underneath is rotten and will have to be
replaced as well.

I have read the other posts on dealing with the asbestos safley but my
query is what can I replace the roof with. The only corrugated
roofing that I can find is the clear placstic stuff which is not
suitable since there is a loo as well.


Any help appreciated

It can be re-roofed with more than corrugated sheet materials. Why not

just
have a proper timber and felt roof put on it. Also, the old asbestos will
have to be removed professionally for insurance reasons.


Erm, I've never read anything anywhere about cement roofing panels
containing asbestos requiring professional removal and nothing also about
insurance stuff. In fact - my council's website says you can take 6 panels
to their 'tip' if you double wrap it and mark it as such.
