    Forgive my ignorance, but ive a block shed and a tree came down on the roof, i'm thinking it's corrugated asbestos/concrete, am i right?
    If so i'm not sure i can afford to have it removed right now, but i need the shed....

    It looks like it. You might not have to get a specialist asbestos removal company for asbestos/cement but it's worth getting a quote to at least confirm it is asbestos.

    You don't need any specialist to take it down but it can't be put on a skip either.

    Went through this recently. If you pay someone to remove it, they need to be insured trained professionals. If you do it yourself, it's your health your risk. Disposal of a 1m3 bag was ~800€ by a specialist company. There are large fines for incorrect storage &/or disposal

    OP,
    The risk is from the dust so if u are going to be breaking it up then wet it and wet the breaks.

    If you stack the sheets on a pallet, double wrapped and taped in 100 gauge polythene then it can be collected if you go the specialist route or some skip folk will take it when wrapped, subject to full disclosure
