    If you demolish you still have to dispose of the asbestos. Just pay to get it stripped and disposed of correctly. Instead of blue board and render and paint. Just go with either a weathertex or similar board or large fibro panels like scyon, easy to fit and then paint solid as and looks modern as.

    OK - garage has now been taken down.

    The guys we got in guttering took the asbestos away for $1,100.
    The plan was then to re-sheet the garage but the timbers were too rotten - so another $1,000 to remove the roof tiles and timber.

    Funny thing was that the next day a council guy turned up about a complaint over dumped asbestos. Lucky our guy was legit - we had to provide the invoice and then they went to check his records.

    He said that a council visit over asbestos was a weekly event for him - apparently neighbors report it all the time.

    Anyway- right result in the end. Thanks for your thoughts.
