Removal of Johnson and Starley Hot air Unit?

Hi,

Im just enquiring as to:

- What would be fair price to remove one of these, bearing in mind it is an old model and believe it to contain asbestos

- Is it fairly simple job to carry out? or is a professional plumber needed

Regards

Andy

    Get a Corgi in to disconnect and cap the gas supply & render it inoperable in some way - best idea is to remove the gas valve.

    It is then no longer a gas appliance.

    After that you can just remove it yourself, it is a very simple job.

    Seek advice from you councils environmental health department first regarding the asbestos.

    Our council had more of a problem with the cupboard linings when they removed all the warm air units before installing new wet CH systems.
