 Asbestos
remember guys, when doing construction work or major renovation that asbestos can be disturbed,
***(Please note this is just a brief guide, more information is available from the HSE website)***
common places for asbestos at home is:-
Outside
Cement Garage Roof - (or within the bitumen if it's a old garage thats felted)
roof tiles - (these tiles are usually a lot thicker than slate tiles)
cement drain pipe - (especially if its old)
Soffit board - (can be cement or insulation board)
Inside
Textured coating - (Artex) can be in anyroom on the ceiling
Floor Tiles - (can be in the bitumen or within the floor tile matrix or both places, these tiles are usually smaller squared but thicker)
insualting board - (anywhere in the home, if you shine a torch on it and see shiney speckles thats a new board which is safe, but it it's greyish and does not shine then possibly asbestos)
toilet Cistern - usually black and not plastic
Treatment
if in doubt and you think it's asbestos your best bet is to PAINT IT,
I work at a asbestos consultancy any more info let me know or if you want a material testing for potential asbestos again let me know and i'll have that arranged for you.  |
