Cheers. So not adequate for drainage?

Just wondering if anyone knows what this would be covering? It's directly next to the waste pipe and on neighbouring properties is where the gutter downpipe would be, and/or a drain, as we have neither (for reasons unknown, our gutter runs into a water butt nearby and no open drain)

It's some kind of loose bead type stuff, yes. First thought would be asbestos. Is there a chance they would keep the tank on use? If only fitting a newer conventional boiler?

British Gas don't touch asbestos. Also British gas' idea on what "needs to be done" is debatable.

Thinking of upgrading our 30+yo Potterton system boiler, but looking for some advice. Parts of the boiler are lagged in asbestos and the header tank is likely made of it. (there's a chance the loft insulation is made of it too). Would this all need to be removed before any work started? also...
