Hi Group,

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't seem to find
anything specific - there's *plenty* of talk about the old corraguated
boards used for roofing sheds/garages etc.... but I'm looking for some
advise about the panels used on the INSIDE of the garage roof, I'm
guessing for fire retardant (its an attached garage). They look
similar to sheets of pasterboard - but I'm pretty sure they're not!

How evil is this asbestos? Can you even tell/guess? If I want to
remove it (the garage is coming down so I need to....), is it ok to
remove it as whole pannels, wetted, bagged etc....

Thanks for any info.

Paul.
Evil is a very good word for it. What you have is probably AIB (Asb
Insulation Board) which was used as you suggest as a fire retarder.

If it was mine then i would pay someone to come in and remove it, while
they were doing it i would take the family out for the day too!
Mesathelioma is a terrible way to die and for the sake of a few £££ i
would never run the risk.
