Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

If it kills you then you will not have to pay any fines, others will pay it for you.

Hi Chomp - Welcome to Planning Planet

Its simple! Never ever do it yourself. Get a specialist to remove it.

For 2 reasons:

1. It will probably kill you

2. You will get locked up for a couple of years

If it is not in the way just leave it undisturbed and put a notice on it.

A few years ago I was renovating an old house and found an asbestos water tank in the loft.

I fitted a new plastic tank and put warning tape around the asbestos one.

Also artex textured ceiling skim was based on asbestos 20 years ago don't try to strip it off yourself.

Best regards
