DEADLY STUFF STAY CLEAR.
a job for the experts i'm afraid
I think that is a little alarmist, One exposure to asbestos cement roof sheeting is very unlikely to kill you in later life, asbestos cement is not considered to be such a risk although great care should always be taken, AIB (asbestos insulation board), flock, pipe lagging and so on are a different story.
I did 10 years in the asbestos removal industry and in my experience I would recommend getting in a licensed contractor to deal with it.
If you are at all unsure what you are dealing with contact any contractor for an analysis, this may be possible by taking a small sample and sending it via post.
Cleaning of a cement roof will release fibres into the air, even if water is used the runoff will at some point dry and fibres will then become airborne, that is why wet asbestos removal has always been illegal as it’s almost impossible to contain and clean all the water used.
