oh no! not the "asbestos cement DANGER DANGER" thread again I hope
Bruce?!


It depends on which fibres were used, which depends on when the roof
panels were made and by whom. In other words, it depends. And it is
extremely unlikely that any records are available, or remain.

My health and safety advisers take the view that *all* asbestos cement
products should be left alone or removed by a specialist contractor.

But I can understand people thinking that they can take a chance, and
that they will probably get away with it to save a few £s. The world
is full of chancers.

That's how we came down from the trees
