Down pipe

[Beansbaked]

Good afternoon, I have some cast iron downpipe thats leaking, I’m having it replaced but it goes into what looks like cement pipe what’s cracked and breaking away. Has anyone come across this pipe being asbestos before please?

You do come across asbestos pipework above ground but that is just normal, old, fireclay. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for replying, this was under some slabs with a bush next to it, I think the roots from the bush grew and cracked the slabs and cement so I’ve removed them (and the bush!) but was worried the pipe/bend the downpipe is cemented into could be asbestos which fell away while I was tidying up
