There's no point putting pvc on top of asbestos


why not ?. The cement-based soffits are far better at
containing the spread of fire, something that people
don't seem to be concerned about. It's class O and
stops a serious fire emitting hot gases and flames
up and into the loft via the front and back of the
building.

Slapping UPVC everywhere should be covered by
building regs. Maybe after the Grenfell enquiry it
will be.
