    Hi,
    I have a standard sized old coal shed out my back attached to the neighbours built in the 50s with an Asbestos roof covering the two. I wanna knock my shed down but to do so means we have to have the roof removed off both sheds (In one piece) and replace the neighbours roof...
    I was just wondering if anyone has done this as I was quoted 900e for the removal and I just thought for a sheet and a half that was a bit pricey?

    Tia

    I think the going rate to remove it, as in take it down is about 150 to 200 euro. The expense part is paying a specialist company to actually take it away & dispose of it legally. Obviously you can't just put it on a skip

    Shocking disparity between disposal cost and likely original cost of materials. How much of this material just ends up getting dumped in the countryside by irresponsible people?

    Not by licensed companies. They are the only ones allowed dispose of it. This is why it's expensive

    I did the same thing about 10 years ago, I had about four sheets of old corrugated asbestos to remove from the roof of a coal shed at the back of the house.
    I waited for a rainy day, took them down myself, and stored them down at the back of the garden where there are now overgrown with ivy, and hidden.
    I checked at the time and it was an absolute fortune to have them taken away. There was a minimum charge for the first tonne or so, and I had roughly 120Kg of sheeting.
    I checked at the time and it is considered acceptable to store sheets in this way, on the property.
