  • Asbestos is still a problem to beware of.  We are having a house in Devon refurbished and work has had to stop on three occasions after asbestos was discovered. Vinyl asbestos tiles in kitchen and bathrooms (not really too much of a problem AFAIK), asbestos rope behind the fireplace, and the last most serious delay being for 3 weeks after discovering loose asbestos fibre when demolishing an old boiler cupboard..  It had been loosely tipped into a void around pipes without any binding.  The house was built in the 60's so relatively recent.  It makes me wonder what happened to the workmen.

    Removal is quite a business, with notification to Health and Safety, laboratory testing and removal be a specialist company.
