Hello!
I have an old summer house right next to my guest house. Suspect the roof tiles are made of eternit. No idea how old the summer cottage is, but at least 30-40 years.

The roof is approximately around 8 square meters. Is this something I can handle myself and carefully take down into plastic bags? Mainly thinking about the guest house's air source heat pump being a few meters away. And asbestos can remain in the air for several days, I read.
Thanks for the help!

It is the module in the middle that has this roof. The 2 smaller ones on the sides have metal roofs.
 
Tear carefully with a good mask and something like a måldräkt (like Barbapappa) ;) Seal the bags quickly.
 
Do it on a day when it rains lightly to minimize any dust and fibers in the air.

The air-source heat pump is irrelevant, as it doesn't bring outdoor air into the house. If you're worried about dust, thoroughly wet everything, or demolish when it rains? :)
 
Tore everything down yesterday. The Eternit sheets felt soft in some places and where they were harder, I tore them down in large sections, but I don't think it dusted at all. Is there a way to see if the roof is really made of Eternit?
 
Can say with 99.9% certainty that that IS eternit. Removed the eternit from my house roof, and it looks the same as your panels.
