I have become quite aware of asbestos, recently, and having done quite a lot of research, have realised that it seems to be everywhere.
I had no idea it was in artex and vinyl.
I am now staring to think back of past DIY jobs that I have done in the past - putting up shelves, drilling a new outlet for a tumbledryer etc.
Essentially, I cannot see how anyone can risk doing any DIY without the risk of uncovering something nasty.
What is the best way to educate yourself about all the risks?
Should I look up every single job I intend to do on the net first?
At the moment, I don't fancy doing anything at all, due to all all the scary crap on the net.
