When leaving it is reasonable
- The sheets are intact and not cracking
- Nobody drills, cuts or scrapes it
- It does not leak
- You are not selling or building nearby
When removal makes sense
- Cracked, broken or crumbling sheets
- Leaks and rotten timbers
- Plans for solar panels or an extension
- Selling the property
Do not jet-wash it
Pressure washing a cement roof can break up the surface and spread debris. Do not do it.
Keep an eye on it
If you leave it, check from the ground each year and photograph any changes.
This guide is general information. It is not a survey and cannot confirm whether your roof contains asbestos.
