Hello again group,


My what an active and opionated lot you all are! Thanks to all for the
varied adviced and thoughts posted. I've seen there's been a few
questions about the house age etc... so here's a bit more info.

House was built in 1964 (so prime time for asbestos me thinks) and the
garage was built at the same same - attached to the house with a flat
roof with a patio on top (dont ask). The boards are on the inside of
the roof and I think they're there for fire-proofing. At the moment
they are painted so can't really say alot about them. I need to remove
them as the garage is being ripped down and replaced with a two story
extension.

Someone mentioned about getting a test done by the local authority -
is this costly? and if they find asbestos can they force you to have
it removed at exhorbitant rates?

Any more thoughts or advice always welcome ;-)

TIA,

Paul.
