Yes, very lucky there are no kids in the house. Glad you got your sorted, who did it for you and how long did it take?
Got a test result back today, the boarding that was around the old flue is amosite. Thats what was left in a damaged state when the installer left the house, together with the broken flue section. The asbestos remover who took the sample and sent it off, can remove the remainder of the flue for me and has taped up the damaged boarding.
However he can't remove the asbestos board himself, so he referred me to ARG. They cant come round to give an inspection and quote until 1/6, then apparently it wont be another 2 weeks until they actually remove it.
Im not willing to take any risks with the stuff in the air of my house, so I wont be spending too much time there until I know the air is safe. Cant get any other work done on my house either, which is needed(purchased in March)
This has become a bit of a headache...
Brown then... one of the really bad guys. Did the remover make any comment about reporting the installer?"In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0 -
I've been on the citizens advice, they're going to forward it to trading standards. I'll give HSE a call today, and I'll be writing a letter as recommended by citizens advice.
Will chat with a lawyer also.0
