Asbestos Shingles

Pretty sure they would be cleaned identical to regular shingles.

Thanks for deleting Gary. I stated that, then realized... wrong place for the guys not willing to join, hell, I not only get roof advice but computer advice too. As a matter of fact, the list is growing as far as the help I found here!

I have not cleaned ( Asbestos) as of yet, but have seen many, and I would clean them just as if they were tile or asphalt...

I read on here over a year ago { I think Chris posted it } Not to use isp on slate roofs it will leave a " blueish/discoloration " on the slate that will last awhile. I have cleaned a couple without isp as suggested and had no problem.

Boy I've seen alot of homes but never came across asbestos shingle on a roof. I guess its a regional thing. We have asbestos shingle siding around here though.

Do not walk asbestos, very thin and brittle, and irreplaceable when broken. Strong mix needed 40% or so from my experience. Asbestos shingles collect a lot of dirt in the cracks and become a great bedding place for ferns/plants. You may have to get a push pole to bring down some of the growth before cleaning.
