Dimplex storage heater, asbestos?

[Deleted member 174758]

From the sixties onwards they were quite common. Old technogy nowadays, I know, but once a lot more common before everyone had central heating

Apologies, I mean how can you tell these are much later than when Asbestos was used in nsh's from my pics? Thanks for your help.

Hi, I renovated our house a few years ago. Not realising storage heaters may contain asbestos, I dismantled them without wearing a mask. I am pretty sure they were dimplex. The house is a 1930's ex council house. There are small electric dimplex heaters upstairs which may have been fitted at the same time, which would suggest they are all post 70's. I believe this is a good sign for them having been asbestos free? If anyone can tell there age from the photos I would be really grateful, unfortunately these are all I have. Thanks

They look the same models as in a house that was refurbed in the mid 90's.

If you've taken them out now doesn't matter anyway.

I have the same issue! I can’t find a serial number anywhere, and they do look 70’s ish but it’s hard to identify them. Can anyone help?

XT series, same as the woodgrain one.
No asbestos.

Can anybody help identify this dimplex storage heater for me? I painted over it white so this is a screenshot from the internet. Trying to find out if it contains asbestos, thanks
