Or am I being wishful here? ;-p Re: Demolition: Colorbond roof and asbestos? 2Jun 09, 2015 10:12 pm I'm not sure about the roof but we just had our house demo'd and the asbestos was in the eaves, meter box, bathrooms floor and walls and laundry and kitchen (usually under tiles etc) it can also be in concrete and outbuildings.
