To remove asbestos roof sheets is very expensive (costs thousands of euros and ranges from €15 to €25 per m2 depending on access etc) and is also dangerous as the building needs to be completely closed down in order to carry out such works which costs YOU more money too… 
Sounds expensive right? It is.. 
Then you move on to the cost of the brand-new roof  (€150 to €250 per m2)
