I posted a few weeks back about undercloak strips and asbestos. My house was built in 1995 or 1996 and I do suspect they could be ACM, however I did contact a surveyor and they said that they mostly stopped using Asbestos cement for undercloak by then. I guess the only real way is to get it...

When David cameron resigned, I thought that a Brexiteer PM would have taken over but maybe that was part of the plan to have a remainer to keep stalling it

Not surprising really. When I was getting my drive block paved, they were cutting the old paving slabs up with a concrete cutter and no wetting the area down or wearing a mask/respirator.

It's ironic really the conservatives marketed them selves as strong and stable, but the Brexit shambles has shown that they are weak and wobbly!

I would say it's more likely that we will crash out of the EU very soon, without a deal. Parliament keeps rejecting all Brexit options.

The soil pipe does not look that old, unless its been encapsulated.

How old is the property?

I think Theresa and parliament are hell bent on dragging this out for many more months ahead. Not that we have much trust in politicians anyway, but if they don't deliver Brexit, then I think come next general election they will be punished in the polls.

It's a new one on me. When I had the extension done, the builder payed for a test on soffits.

With cars it's just a lottery on how reliable it is and if it's money pit. I generally find if you service the car to manufactures specifications and on time, that helps

I think there is more chance of the EU kicking us out with no deal, than Theresa May getting her act together and getting us out.

I am looking to buy a Peugeot boxer van, I am wondering how reliable they are?

Blue asbestos certainly is the most dangerous type.

What age is the property?

I used a company called Vega environmental. The surveyor took the sample, and within an hour I got the results emailed!

Thats very true, and I did make sure it was safe before any work was carried out. However, the problem is that I had to pay to get it done, when the company should have paid for the sample to be taken considering it was their requirement. I live in a 95 build house, and it's not likely that...

I know its low risk, but I do find it alarming if asbestos was used on a relatively new build property. I know Asbestos cement was not finally banned until 1999. However, the dangers were well known then and even well before that, and there was substitute materials available.

When I was getting fitted wardrobes installed, the company insisted that an asbestos test was carried out on the Artex, however the company should have really paid for it considering it was their requirements in my opinion. Fortunately there wasn't any asbestos in the Artex, and I had to pay £70...

I wasn't present when the sample was taken, but I saw him just about the sample it when i went away, and seen no mask. Like i said though, there was no asbestos so no worries.

Is it worth getting it tested, how likely is it that it will contain asbestos, or would there be other substitutes used ?
