Shared Asbestos Roof Shed

He might. Trouble is fibre cement sheeting seems to have acquired the generic name "asbestos" rather like all vacuum cleaners are "hoovers". How old is the roof? That will give a clue. I think it would have to be pre 1970 or thereabouts to be asbestos.!!!!!!_here wrote: »The surveyor mentioned it as being asbestos on the Homebuyer's Report. I assume he knows the difference.
Found a reference on the HSE website saying asbestos use peaked in the 1960's and early 1970's but was in use until the mid 1980's. Had a word with a local BCO who said that you cannot tell by visual inspection. It would have to be tested. They would assume it was asbestos unless you could show otherwise.0 -
I assume it was built at the same time as the property - which is 1950s. I see your point though, and thanks for making it, it may help others at least.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
