I've got an asbestos cement roof on my small 1930s garage. Knowing
that asbestos cement is not seen as being as dangerous as asbestos
without cement, I've until now taken the attitude that I won't cause
any damage to it and it won't cause any trouble to me. But now it's
leaking. I really don't want to mess about with it. Sure I could spray
something on it, but I feel this might be the start of the slippery
slope - leaks, drying up after the leaks, crumbling at the edge of
cracks, fibres breaking away.


Our council (Richmondshire) will take it for free at certain recycling
centres but they insist it is double wrapped in polythene.
