asbestos

Hi All,

Looking for advice on next step to take, went to a job rewiring a bungalow today only to find out behind the plaster board walls there is a lining of lovely old asbestos. Besides informing the owner do building control or planning need to be informed?

If you think you have found asbestos you need to inform the owner of the property and get it checked out properly.

Do not disturb it.

No Nick I have not touch it just noticed it when the home owner removed a sheet of plaster board that had been stuck over the top. I like the idea of living into old age so as I can shout in supermarkets, dribble and p*** myself in public, so as to get my own back on the kids. But then again I do ride a motorbike.
