Asbestos Garage Roof

Posted by Karon lllll, on
In the process of buying a house. Survey says garage roof is made of asbestos. It is over 50 years old. I am concerned about it deteriorating and asbestos fibres being released. I will be putting my freezer and dryer in there. So am worried. I would appreciate your advice please.

Hello Karen The asbestos sheeting will not release fibres unless it damaged/broken or pierced.You do not need to worry . Regards Jason
