    Take your time there are plenty of houses on the market for free &the cost of removal varies on where your taking it to,the height, the width etc.Its obviously brick veneer so the bricks would have to be demolished & dumped extra cost & the house reclad.Ads in the Building Materials section of newspapers regularly give away free houses or contact some demolition contractors who would love to give away a house & not pay for costs of demo & still get to keep the contract money.Be wary of house removalists as thet can be shonkier than us demo guys ha ha Happy househunting.

    Wetting down wont really help as the water does not penetrate inside the fibro.My spelling doesn’t seem to good it should be bagged and approved.

    Regards Ian

    This is not a 100% description of asbestos removal so contact an association and or email me.

    They are normally flat & break between the nails.When this happens place them in a plastic bag marked asbestos.When the bag is not to heavy,my rule,it should be double baggeg then taped up ready for an appraved tip site.

    I work with asbestos & you have to make sure the cover strips are not fibro (asbestos/cement) when you remove them.When removing any cornice,cover strips,architraves or skirtings a pinch bar or large screwdriver & hammer is used making sure any point of contact is against the timber work that it is nailed in to or it will crack releasing small amounts of asbestos.This requires lifting away from the wall &not pushing towards it.Minute amounts of dust will be released when the nails come out & the holes and any broken edges should be sprayed with a 10 to one mix of PVA glue &water.You should wear disposable overalls gloves & a good particulate respirator with a pre filter. This is not a dangerous task & there are a lot of untruths & myths about asbestos.This is also only a basic description of the process and you should contact an asbestos removalist association. I know nsw has one, for more info.Personally I would rather work with asbestos than smoke 30 ciggies a day.

    Regards Ian
