Neighbours Asbestos Roof

The pragmatic answer to this question is simply this.
Neighbours asbestos roof. You may live near an industrial area where there are many hectares of asbestos roofs and there may be other asbestos products that we do not know about that is close by. It s been ratting around in the current storm. Contact the council who will send someone out to risk asses the asbestos roof it could well be the safe form of asbestos but better not to take the risk as it will have to be removed by. I m unsure of what to do.
Your neighbour s may have asbestos roofs. Close all windows and doors of your home and cover air vents to prevent asbestos fibres from entering the building. Homes with asbestos roofs are also likely to be more expensive to insure. We ve heard from some property owners that asbestos roofing makes a property more difficult to sell.
The question to your neighbour should be whether the contractor is competent. The more weathered your roof gets the more risk there is of deterioration which might expose your family and neighbours to harmful asbestos fibres. Inform your neighbours of the proposed work and advise them to close doors and windows while the work is being undertaken. It might be worth discussing this with your neighbour because it is their house garden as much as yours that would be at risk if they use a contractor who isn t competent.
