Hi,
I recently had my guttering and fascias replaced and the soffits cladded. I believe that the soffits were made of asbestos-cement. I wasn't around when the work was being done but everything was done well and cleaned up.
My question is that I've found a few fragments of what I believe to be asbestos-cement. We're talking about the size of a ten pence piece. I'm totally ignorant on the subject of asbestos beyond what I've read off the net. Can somebody tell me what the risks are with disposing of this stuff and if there is any risk cause by asbestos dust that may have fallen to the ground when work was being carried out?
Like I say I wasn't around for the actual work so I wouldn't have come into contact with any dust whilst the work was being done. I just want to make sure that if there is any asbestos fragments or dust around I deal with it appropriately.
cheers,
Eb
