You can actually walk on those metal corri roof sheets but you'll need crawler boards,but there are bloody slippy when wet.
Those sky lights are made of that poly po plastic stuff tfl wont do much good,a good soak with b***** and heat/hot water will get most of it off thing is they get so pitted you can never get it really clean
nice job though

I think the wfp and tfr would be the way to go, you could do it from either a man basket on a fork truck, scaffold tower or even crawling boards. Thats asbestos by the look of it.
A mate of mine died of as abestosis - it took a month to cremate him

I've changed my mine again - you could do it from a set of steps on the roof of the Lexus :
Bleach would do it but some HS officers frown on its use - Tree huggers and ramblers - you know the sort

I'd go in about £180 if they supply the access, maybe a touch more but I would'nt want to be there a whole day. Tell him it'll recoup the cost in electric light savings

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM H+S yes,that why i went b*****,you could use brick acid but dont leave it on to long,as for access on the roof go which way you think is the safest,by the looks of the job your gonna be in full view of all,so do the right thing
.
Price wise do your day rate + whatever you have to get for access + your profit
