Building defects database - Asbestos

Record details

Some corrugated roofing materials of this age can contain asbestos and hence should not be drilled, sanded or removed without protective equipment and/or specialist advice. Any such materials that do contain asbestos are harmless unless airborne fibres are present. At the time of survey no areas of flaking, powdering or similarly damaged material were noted indicating that no specific risk currently exists.

Sheets replaced with glass fibre.
