Hi,
I'm after some advice from the pro's / those with experience of removing a warm air central heating system.
I'm in the process of purchasing a late '60's house which has warm air heating which we will be replacing with a conventional radiator system. In what areas do we need to be cautious regarding asbestos?
I understand the boiler cupboard can sometimes be lined with asbestos and the flue could well be asbestos cement. The main question is will the ducts which deliver the warm air to each room be made of or insulated with the stuff?
The ducts are my primary concern as obviously then run throughout the entire building and I'm likely to disturb them doing other diy tasks.
I look forward to hearing your wisdom!
