I am about to purchase an ex-council house, and the survey states that there is asbestos guttering on the rear of the house, and also asbestos roofing on a small shed in the back garden. The surveyor recommended that I get the asbestos guttering be replaced farily soon. though the asbestos roof on the shed could remain. Does anyone know how much it would cost to get asbestos guttering removed from the back of the house -it is only an average size house - 1,400 sq ft.? I know that I would have to get a specialist contractor to remove the asbestos. Would it be better to get rid of the asbestos roofing on the shed in the back garden at the same time, though the surveyor said this could remain. Any advice greatly appreciated.
