asbestos roof
6 Answers
The rented property we have moved in to has a brick built garden shed,with an asbestos roof.
Is this a danger and should we ask our landlord to have the roof taken down?.
Our Son in Law said it is reasonable safe as long as it is not disturbed, but then i may be doing work on the bench. hammering or drilling and this could cause some vibration. This may cause some asbestos dust to come down.
Thanks for any advice.

Your landlord could argue that if the roof is not in a state of disrepair, and therefore not hazzardous to health he has no obligation to do anything. In fact, he could ask you NOT to hammer in the shed i guess
Alternatively he may be amenable, you could try asking rather than insisting
